On Saturday 27th of September 2025, the Milan Fashion Week was graced by a glamorous, meta moment. Dolce & Gabbana opened its Spring/Summer 2026 show under the scrutiny of Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci. The two actors behind the characters of Miranda Priestly and Nigel Kipling were in the midst of shooting the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada.

After keeping guests waiting, they finally took their front-row seats, directly facing Anna Wintour, the true inspiration behind the character of Priestly. Behind them, newcomer Simone Ashley watched the show mischievously, leaving the mystery hanging over her role in the sequel to the cult film. The whole scene unfolded like a fashion theater, where the lines between fiction and reality were blurred. The whole scene was amplified by a soundtrack from Patty Pravo and her irresistible Notti Bianche.

Once again, Dolce & Gabbana proved its determination to leave its mark on pop culture. After sending nepo babies down the runway, creating a collaboration with Kim Kardashian and financing her sister Kourtney’s wedding, the Italian brand continues to hold a singular place in the industry.

Pajamas: The obsession of Italian designers

On the runway, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana extended the spirit of their menswear collection unveiled last June. As a result, a sensual pajamas party, renamed “PJ Obsession”, unveiled before the audience. There, striped cotton classics were encrusted with crystals. They were worn half-open over black lace lingerie or transformed into evening clothes in sheer chiffon.

True to their DNA, the designers mixed sharp tailoring — tuxedo jackets, chalk-stripe suits, aviator blazers or vintage brocade — with effortless seduction. Regarding footwear, sky-high sandals or cozy slippers completed the silhouettes, oscillating between bedroom vibes and red carpet accents.

The collection blurred the lines between masculine and feminine, intimacy and presence, authority and desire. From the Sicilian widow wearing an undone corset to the modern city girl sporting an oversized tuxedo, the woman at Dolce & Gabbana is free, confident and playful. More than a trend, “PJ Obsession” is a manifesto. There are no rules for dressing up and choosing what to reveal or not each day…
