There must have been a (tacit) agreement between the prima donnas who appeared on the first red carpet of the 18th edition of the parade Rome Film Festival: “Totally Black” is the motto. There were few violations of the golden rule of elegance among the female attendees at the opening ceremony of the Capitoline Festival: so black (let’s just say black) and a shower of crystals and sequins to brighten it up just enough to keep the class from being boring.
In black – signed by Armani Privè – definitely the most celebrated star of the evening Paola CortellesiHe made his directorial debut with his film C’è again tomorrow. His actress Emanuela Fanelli is also dressed in black, as are the guests on the red carpet from Italy Martina Stella (very lively trouser suit), Maria Grazia Cucinotta (with sequins) e Caterina Balivo (in short), French style but with an Italian heart Philippine Leroy Beaulieu, the true revelation of Emily in Paris and an authentic neo-fashion icon. But also a more sensual and bubbly presence on that red carpet.
But all (everyone!) looks (and our inevitable ones). Voices) are below.
