• The delicate dress developed a small hole at the Arsenale’s Dolce Notte party on June 28 and gradually ripped beyond repair.
• On June 30, Ceretti posted contrasting Instagram stories titled “Come è iniziata” and “Come sta andando” to document the before-and-after damage.
• Her lighthearted social media response quickly became the focal point of reporting on guest fashion at the Bezos-Sánchez festivities.
