Her dress was part sculpture, part magic, proving that sometimes less says more - unless you count those ruffles.

Phoebe Bridgers went all in with this sheer gray Alexander McQueen gown that’s like wearing moonlight.
It’s delicate, lacey, and totally see-through at the bottom - talk about making a statement! Oh, and yes, she bravely showed off a major sweat stain too.
Marina Ruy Barbosa’s Lace Peeks
Marina went full lingerie-as-outerwear with a sheer black gown letting lace peek everywhere it could.

Bow-like flares and geometric cutouts made this column dress a head-turner right from the Lido pier.
Marina Valdemoro Maino’s Skin Illusion
Marina’s dress played a sneaky trick with a skin-toned base covered in shiny silver patterns.

Supermodel Irina made a splash in an iconic Dolce & Gabbana dress that’s basically a sexy puzzle.
The sides were cut out so much her black satin briefs were the real headline. It’s daring, it’s cheeky, and totally classic Irina.

Meryem went full liquid metal with a golden silvery gown that looked like a disco ball melted just for her.
With sparkling crystals and see-through mesh, and yeah, a few too-exposed moments, this dress definitely made a scene.
Ksenia Sobchak’s Lace and Fur Combo
Ksenia brought the drama with a blush pink lace dress paired with a gigantic purple fur stole.
The mix screamed luxe meets playful, and seriously, who doesn’t want to swan around in fur and lace?
