Supermodel Naomi Campbell closed the daring Dolce & Gabbana show at Milan Fashion Week with an underwear-inspired look.
Fresh off the Burberry catwalk in London, the 53-year-old wore an all-black ensemble: a lace bralette and sheer skirt with a high leg slit, accessorized with half gloves, a netted hat to cover her face and her characteristic long, straight hair.
Campbell's look marked the end of another ultra-sexy collection for the Italian fashion house, taking underwear as an outerwear trend to the runway and mixing it with a modern take on tailoring.
The autumn/winter 2024 collection was called Tuxedo, with impeccable tailoring, including the initial look of a cropped black tuxedo jacket worn over underwear and a sheer skirt open at the back.
The ensembles continued to play with masculine suits and lace elements underneath the garments: deconstructed tuxedo jumpsuits were worn over skimpy bras, silk bloomers peeked out from under boxy blazers, and some models wore classic white shirts and bow ties with their suits.
It's hard to see tuxedos on the catwalk and not think of Yves Saint Laurent: he changed the face of fashion with his autumn/winter 1966 collection, introducing a women's tuxedo called Le Smoking at a time when the style was entirely reserved for the men.
There was also a '90s sensibility to Dolce & Gabbana's collection with a sexy take on tailoring that harked back to Tom Ford's time at Gucci, while fitted ensembles with flashes of leopard print were reminiscent of Azzedine Alaia.
Campbell wasn't the only supermodel on the runway: She was also joined by '90s favorites Eva Herzigova and Amber Valletta.
Most of the models were accessorized the same way, with netted hats, slicked-back hair, bright red lips, and dark eye makeup.
This was not a colorful collection; Instead, most outfits were all black, with touches of gold, silver, and leopard print. The materials chosen were incredibly luxurious, with lace, velvet and sequins mixed with fur and feathers.
Models walked the runway with Irish singer Roisin Murphy's Murphy's Law playing over the speakers, and the star-studded front row fit the overall aesthetic.
American actress Eva Mendes appeared to take advantage of the 'mob wife' trend that's all over TikTok, wearing a black corset-style dress under a large leopard-print fur jacket. She had her hair up in a voluminous beehive and paired the look with large sunglasses and a leopard-print bag and gloves.
Meanwhile, model Ashley Graham, who previously walked for Dolce & Gabbana at Milan Fashion Week, opted for a masculine suit, wearing a white tuxedo-style jacket with baggy black pants and a corset top.
