Stakes were high at the Metropol Theatre in Milan, as the sequel to one of fashion's most famous films was revealed in real time. Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci arrived as none other than Miranda Priestly and right hand man Nigel. A surprise appearance, to say the least, as the cinematic pair re-emerged for the first time in over a decade, inciting an undeniable stir within the dense crowd of fashions finest. Pulling the ruthless fashion editor from the depths of her disappearance was none other than Dolce & Gabbana and their 2026 Spring/Summer unveiling titled “Pyjama Boys”. An acknowledging grin replaced neutrality on the face of Anna Wintour as the eponym sat just opposite Miranda, equaling her in sumptuous bobbed hair and jumbo shades.
The Guest-list that Just Kept Giving
As if these attendees didn’t offer enough starpower, Gavin Casalegno arrived as one of television's most controversial, love-triangle it boys from his role in hit show The Summer I Turned Pretty. 365 days actor Michele Morrone also made an appearance, furthering the male heavy presence at the womenswear event. Historic Supermodel, Naomi Campbell, celebrity makeup artist and founder of eponymous makeup brand, Patrick Ta, and American Model, Amelia Gray spoke to the brand's outreach within the closer fashion community.

The chic London girl throws on her boyfriend's blazer in a half-hearted attempt at modesty before stepping out for a cappuccino and her morning smoke. Despite providing little legitimate coverage, the blazer's openness and her sleepwear’s public debut is hardly her concern.

An arrangement of sky-blue and carmine-red sleepwear sets commenced the show, their dendritic designs and crystal-encrusted floral embellishments presenting an authentically Dolce rendition of the classic striped pajama. Overlaid shirts hung mostly unfastened, revealing an array of black-trimmed triangle bralettes and thigh-high hosiery beneath. Pants, positioned just below the hip, showcased similar lacy undergarments, while tie-robes gave no indication of a working knot. Playing on the discreetly risqué, the looks conveyed a tactically tasteful sex appeal. Strategically disheveled, they came forth to express the laxity of more modern styling cues.
A feminine follow-up to the menswear pj’s they debuted last June, Dolce’s “Pyjama Boys,” is a collection fully equipped for your Princess Diaries-style slumber party or legendary girls night out… or both. Nothing less than a new age approach to going out that removes the remorse of waking up in your standing-only jeans, the half-sleepwear ensembles tease at bridging the gap. Inheriting a sort of femme-fatale meets european-chic, looks emerged as a challenge to traditional dress codes and dared the question: must loungewear really stay indoors?
