While the ring sparked conversation, it was her artful execution ofValentino Garavani*'s*latest collectionthat commanded attention.
Newly appointed Creative DirectorAlessandro Michele**'s vision for the_Pavillon des Folies_collection came to life in Lipa's carefully curated layers. The foundation – a full-length black lace catsuit – serves as a sophisticated second skin, playing into the reveal and conceal trend.

Whether celebrating an engagement or simply the promise of 2025, Lipa proves that the most compelling fashion moments arise when tradition meets personal style with unwavering confidence.
