Leah Kateb Wore Vintage Roberto Cavalli SS03 Dress at Billboard Women in Music 2026

Leah Kateb stepped onto the red carpet at the 2026 Billboard Women in Music Awards and instantly gave it a softer, romantic edge. The Love Island US breakout star, now followed by millions, chose a vintage Roberto Cavalli Spring/Summer 2003 dress that felt both nostalgic and fresh at the same time.

The look was all about texture and detail. Her mini dress came in a muted nude tone, almost blending into her skin for that barely-there effect. Up close, it was full of delicate lacework, soft ruching, and uneven hemlines that gave it a slightly undone, vintage feel. The corset-style bodice hugged her figure, with subtle structure that shaped the waist without looking too rigid. Off-the-shoulder straps added a romantic touch, sitting gently along her arms and softening the whole look.

The skirt had a raw, fluttery finish, with layers that moved as she walked. It didn’t try too hard to be perfect, and that’s exactly why it worked. It felt effortless, like something pulled from an early 2000s archive but styled for now.

She paired the dress with lace-up ballet-inspired heels in a matching tone, wrapping softly around her ankles and keeping the look cohesive from head to toe. The choice of shoes made the outfit feel even more delicate, almost dancer-like, instead of going for a heavier heel.

Her beauty look stayed in the same lane. Leah wore her long dark hair in loose, glossy waves, parted to the side, with a soft curl framing her face. Makeup was warm and natural, with a focus on glowing skin and neutral tones that didn’t overpower the dress.
