Overview
- Valentino released the 'Nocturne' campaign on Nov. 6, featuring Dakota Johnson in her first ads since being named a global brand ambassador in October.
- Conceived by creative director Alessandro Michele, the hotel-set series explores a liminal nighttime mood, photographed by Marili Andre with a film by Renell Medrano and a score of Chopin’s 'Nocturne in E-flat' performed by Angus Pendergast.
- Johnson appears alongside Marisa Berenson, Tate McRae, Dev Hynes, Anne Imhof and American Ballet Theatre principal Devon Teuscher.
- Johnson told Vogue the shoot took place at Cinecittà just outside Rome, underscoring the campaign’s cinematic framing.
- A red silk chiffon mini dress featured in the visuals has drawn added attention after appearances on Meghann Fahy and Miley Cyrus, with Page Six reporting it is available for about $9,900.
