Last night, Bvlgari ushered in the upcoming Year of the Snake in true opulence with the launch of the Serpenti Infinito Exhibition in Shanghai. Held on January 8th—a date that resonates with the symbol of infinity—the event was an immersive journey into the art, craftsmanship, and endless transformations of the house’s most iconic motif: the serpent.
As always, Bvlgari ambassador Liu Yifei delivered an unforgettable moment. Dressed in an Elie Saab Fall 2024 Haute Couture black velvet gown, she exuded winter elegance. The gown, with its exposed corset adorned in colourful floral embroidery, is the perfect marriage of luxe craftsmanship and seasonal sophistication. The weight and richness of velvet is perfect for the current season, while the vibrant floral detailing injects just the right amount of visual warmth.
But the real showstoppers? The Bvlgari jewels. Liu styled her look with pieces from the jeweler’s iconic Serpenti collection, a nod to the evening’s theme. The intricate craftsmanship of these serpentine designs—symbolic of transformation and eternity—deserved a moment of their own under the spotlight.
Tying it all together was Liu’s elegant updo, which framed her face beautifully and allowed both the gown and jewels to take center stage. From the infinity-inspired event concept to Liu’s impeccable styling, this was an evening where everything felt perfectly aligned—symbolic, luxurious, and undeniably timeless.
