Get ready for some fashion flashbacks! In 2021, Anne Hathaway tied the knot with Adam Shulman in a custom Valentino wedding gown. That’s not all! At the 2023 British Fashion Awards, Valentino Garavani, the designer, was honored with an Outstanding Achievement Award and shared some sweet words about Hathaway.
And now, the big moment we’ve all been waiting for: Hathaway recently graced the red carpet at the Royal Albert Hall in a stunning dress from Valentino’s spring/summer 1993 collection. Giancarlo Giammetti, Valentino’s partner, also had some words to share about the classic dress. Speaking of pasta-inspired design, Giametti mentioned that the dress was “classic Valentino” and was actually inspired by spaghetti. Hathaway, always full of wit, replied, “And I’ve always dreamed of being pasta.”
It’s no surprise that Valentino draws inspiration from the rich and indulgent – both in fashion and food. Just ask Gwyneth Paltrow, who wore a Rosso Valentino dress from the brand’s 1965 couture collection to the Fashion Awards.
Valentino, at 91 years old, will be celebrated for his remarkable contributions to the fashion industry. With a reputation of perfectionism and a focus on beauty, Valentino’s impact on the fashion world is undeniable. This iconic designer and his partner, along with their beloved pugs, passed the label down to current creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli in 2008.
