Overview
- On Oct. 19, Dua Lipa arrived at the Metropolitan Opera opening gala for Lincoln in the Bardo in a black gown from Maximilian Davis’s Spring/Summer 2027 Ferragamo collection.
- The off‑shoulder dress featured dense paillettes, a theatrical train and detached opera glove–style sleeves with hand‑embellished chiffon, drawing attention for its layered gold thread, crystals and sequins.
- Lipa paired the look with Ferragamo runway footwear and minimal jewelry, and her stylist sourced the unreleased piece on loan from the house.
- Coverage from multiple fashion outlets frames this appearance, plus recent sightings of other stars in Davis’s paillette gowns, as evidence that Ferragamo’s embellished, armor‑like styles are a hot ticket for gala season.
- Design context and mechanics matter: Davis has been repositioning Ferragamo in recent seasons and the practice of loaning runway pieces to celebrities is accelerating editorial visibility and likely raising demand ahead of retail availability.
