Following the opulent womenswear show, Dolce & Gabbana presented their Alta Sartoria menswear show on Wednesday at the Forte Arena, an open-air theatre at the Forte Village Resort on the idyllic Italian island of Sardinia. The evening was a blend of sartorial elegance and creative flair, demonstrating the brand’s mastery in both menswear and couture.
Theo James epitomised the effortless transition of seasonal trends with his Dolce & Gabbana custom double-breasted suit, proving that the Fall-Spring chocolate trend we saw during awards season can seamlessly adapt to summer months. While his square-toed derby shoes felt a bit heavy, they clearly represented the footwear trend for the label this season.
Halle Bailey continued her winning streak in Dolce & Gabbana, donning yet another custom dress paired with Alta Gioielleria jewels.
Her sheer gown, created with silk satin manipulation and adorned with crystal and pearl beading, exemplified an elegant use of transparency that often divides opinions, but in this case showcased the label’s intricate craftsmanship.
Complementing Bailey’s look, her partner, rapper DDG, wore a custom Dolce & Gabbana embroidered top, creating a harmonious visual duo.
Kitty Spencer’s custom Dolce & Gabbana gown requires a closer look to fully appreciate its detailed embellishments. Adorned with metal sequins, pearls, and brooches, the gown showcases the label’s signature opulence.

Pelayo Díaz’s appearance in another Dolce & Gabbana Chantilly lace look feels like a modern love story, as he continues to embody the romantic yet edgy aesthetic that Dolce & Gabbana excels in.
Maluma’s previous look lacked cohesion, but the neutral tones of this custom Dolce & Gabbana linen suit and taupe squared-toe derby shoes was much more harmonious.
An Alta Gioielleria brooch added a touch more luxury.
Pulled from the Dolce & Gabbana Ostuni Alta Sartoria collection, Choi San’s white suit was a masterclass in relaxed tailoring. I’m obsessed with the way in which his jacket drapes. I want this for myself.
