Irina Shayk Wore Romeo Gigli Fall 2026 Draped Gown at Venice Film Festival
Irina Shayk wore a draped black Romeo Gigli Fall 2026 gown with a dramatic cape sleeve to the "L'Estranea" screening at Venice.
Irina Shayk kept her Venice run going with yet another standout look, and this time she went full minimalist drama. The Russian supermodel, known for her decades-long career with brands like Victoria's Secret and Givenchy along with her growing crossover into television and film, stepped out for the red carpet premiere of "L'Estranea" (The Spiral), the Italian competition title starring Jasmine Trinca, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Romana Maggiora Vergano and Adriano Giannini.
For the occasion, Shayk wore a black gown from Romeo Gigli's Fall 2026 collection, and the design leans entirely on drape and negative space rather than embellishment. The bateau neckline sits high and clean across the collarbone, with one shoulder extending into a long, sweeping cape sleeve that falls all the way to the floor, while the opposite side stays fitted with a long sleeve reaching the wrist. A dramatic side cutout opens up at the waist, exposing a sliver of skin along the ribs, before the gown gathers into soft, twisted draping around the hip and falls into an asymmetric, ankle-grazing hem.
She wore her dark hair slicked back into a sleek, low bun, keeping every bit of attention on the sculptural shoulder work and the gown's fluid movement. For jewelry, she layered delicate diamond bracelets and a few thin rings, letting the pieces catch the light without pulling focus from the dress itself. She finished the look with black sock-style ankle boots, a slightly unexpected, modern pairing that gave the otherwise draped, goddess-style gown a cooler, more downtown edge.
The look followed her red-carpet turn just days earlier in a vintage Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2003 corset gown, and continues a strong year for Shayk on the red carpet circuit, including her recent appearance at the SAG Actor Awards in a dramatic corset gown with oversized opera gloves. Between the archival pieces and now this sculptural Romeo Gigli moment, Venice 2026 has quickly become one of her most fashion-forward festival runs yet.
