Vogue World showcases fashion at its most stylish, attracting top celebrities with a mix of traditional runway displays and live performances. Last year’s event, Vogue World 2025: Hollywood, highlighted the longstanding connection between fashion and film, transforming Paramount Studios in Los Angeles into a runway. This year, Vogue World 2026: Milan was held on September 22 at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, a famous shopping area, to honor Italy’s rich fashion history. The theme for the evening focused on the link between Italian craftsmanship and modern technology, which the dresses reflected, according to Vogue. Celebrity fashion often garners varied opinions, with some looks prompting confusion while others receive praise. This year generated a lot of online commentary, with a list of star attendees that included Jennifer Lopez, Dakota Johnson, Naomi Watts, and Heidi Klum. However, some internet users expressed their disapproval of the outfits, with one asking if the attendees were trying to outdo each other for the worst-dressed title. Another remarked that the clothing appeared unattractive, while a third questioned if the event resembled a plastic surgery convention. A fourth commenter noted that they owned similar dresses from thrift stores.
Among the notable looks, Heidi Klum wore a sheer black dress designed by Celia Kritharioti, which left little to the imagination. The gown featured embroidered lace and was fully transparent from the high neck to the hem, with floral designs partially covering the bust and hips. Klum paired the dress with black underwear for modesty, simple black mules, and a black silk clutch. Some viewers criticized her outfit, suggesting that it was inappropriate for someone over 50 and implying that it screamed for attention. Others commented on the sheer nature of the dress and expressed dislike for her stylist.
Pamela Anderson attended in a metallic gold dress from Ferragamo’s Fall 2026 collection, created by Maximilian Davis. The silk gown included features like slit sleeves, a mermaid train, and a gathered panel at the knees with black geometric trimming. She completed her look with Ferragamo crystal-topped heels, a crocodile-embossed clutch, and a necklace from a collaboration with Pat McGrath. Anderson’s makeup was minimal, featuring just eyeliner and gold eyeshadow. Many commented on her dress, with one likening it to a curtain and another humorously comparing it to an upside-down Italian Easter egg. The main point of discussion, however, was her makeup choices. Some users debated whether her look was too simple, recalling her decision to limit makeup use back in 2023. What do you think about these celebrity looks?
