Aitana joined Vogue World 2026 in Milan in a white Fendi look. The event brought fashion stars and performers together around Italian craftsmanship, technology and a livestream watched around the world.
Cardi B walked the Vogue World 2026 runway. J Balvin made a surprise appearance at an event built around Italy's fashion heritage. Aitana represented Spain among the international guests in Milan. She arrived in an ethereal white Fendi look with a low ponytail. The show turned the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II into a fashion-industry stage on 22 September 2026, the first day of Milan Fashion Week, as Vogue and GQ reported.
The setting gave the event its clearest visual statement. Milan's historic gallery sits between Piazza del Duomo and La Scala and was completed in 1877. For Vogue World 2026, it became a runway that joined the city's architecture with a programme focused on craftsmanship and new technology.
Vogue World: Milano was streamed online simultaneously around the world, extending the event’s audience far beyond the city itself.
Jennifer Lopez did more than appear on the red carpet. She also joined the Vogue World performance. Dakota Johnson arrived in Valentino by Alessandro Michele. Pamela Anderson was among the headline guests. Hunter Schafer, Taraji P. Henson, Monica Bellucci, Heidi Klum and Jason Momoa were also documented at the event.
The guest list reached across entertainment and fashion. Naomi Campbell, Stella Maxwell, Joe Locke, Camila Mendes, Ivy Getty, Amy Jackson, Ed Westwick, Mikey Madison, Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade and Olivia Palermo were among the other names present. Aryna Sabalenka represented the sporting world.
The runway added another layer to the evening.
The programme was conceived as more than a catwalk: music and performance were placed alongside fashion, with Alicia Keys among the prominent names reported in connection with the show. That combination reinforced Vogue World’s format as a live cultural spectacle rather than a conventional runway presentation.
Gigi Hadid, Vittoria Ceretti, Mariacarla Boscono, Alex Consani and Helena Christensen took part in the show. Ceretti's role tied closely to the event's main idea. Vogue used the Italian model to show the move from historic craftsmanship to emerging technologies. Donatella Versace, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Alessandro Michele, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Anna Dello Russo were among the Italian fashion figures linked to the programme.
Vogue World began in 2022 in New York. It later travelled to London, Paris and Los Angeles. Milan is the format's fifth edition and its first Italian stop. It also coincided with the first day of Milan Fashion Week. The concept changes with each host city. This time, the focus was the human work behind Italian fashion in an era shaped by artificial intelligence and technological tools.
The show was divided into five acts. The Artisanal Revolution returned to Renaissance references, handwork, fabrics and embroidery. The Industrial Revolution followed the transformation of textile production. Made in Italy connected Italian fashion with cinema and popular culture through references including Federico Fellini. The Age of Intelligence examined the relationship between design and technology. The Imagination Revolution looked towards future forms of clothing.
Vogue put artisans and professionals from different parts of Italy at the centre of the story. Their knowledge was shown as work passed from generation to generation, not as a barrier to technological change. The programme treated technology as another tool in an industry that still relies on precision, experience and human labour. Vogue and AGI described the Milan edition through the push and pull between human skill, innovation and the idea of Made in Italy. The mix of fashion and culture also connects with the wider Spanish arts landscape described in this earlier theatre report.
Aitana's appearance had a clear place in the event. Spain was represented in a Milan showcase that put Italian identity at the centre while bringing together figures from music, cinema, sport and fashion. Vogue World 2026 was more than a conventional catwalk. It presented a staged history of how clothing is made. Fendi, international performers and Italian artisans shared Milan's most recognisable historic setting. The programme's message was plain: technology may reshape fashion, but human craft still gives the industry its meaning.
