Before the passing of Mr. Giorgio Armani, Gemma Chan posted a picture on Instagram with the caption, “A dreamy night with @armanibeauty at the Doge’s Palace celebrating the 82nd Venice International Film Festival ✨.”

And truly, it was dreamy. Armani Privé gowns are always at home on the biggest stages—Oscars, BAFTAs, Golden Globes—but Venice has a particular kind of magic, and this gown carried it beautifully. With impeccable craftsmanship stitched into every sequin and seam, this was a silhouette that felt eternal rather than seasonal—it’s the kind of look that reminds you why Mr. Armani stood apart.

Gemma was absolutely mesmerizing. Yes, she’s naturally radiant, but the gown elevated her into something cinematic, almost untouchable. This was elegance in its purest form—quiet, confident, timeless.

As I said yesterday, Mr. Armani was the last of the great designers in a world where so many labels are chasing clicks, virality, and fleeting trends. He gave us clothes that will live forever.
