Ray-Ban President Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio and Model + Actress Jessica Serfaty Stun at Met Gala 2024
Jessica Serfaty, the model and actress, stunned in custom Dolce & Gabbana for her Met gala debut alongside fiance, the dapper Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio, chairman of Luxottica Group and President of Ray-Ban.
"The inspiration for her look was Dolce&Gabbana "garden in bloom" in coordination with this year's Met Gala theme, as our first Alta Moda show taking place in Taormina. The look is perfect for Jessica because both the cape and dress, beautiful pieces from archive collections, come back to life on such a beauty." - Dolce & Gabbana
Her dramatic cape is made of Silk organza embellished with hand made artistic silk flowers from the Dolce & Gabbana archive. The dress underneath is an original design from the Spring summer 2005 Ready to wear collection, remade in a watermelon red silk chiffon with Swarovski crystal mesh details, originally worn by Gisele. Her shoes and purse were also Dolce & Gabbana to complete the look, paired with Cartier diamond earrings, tennis bracelet, custom Dolce watermelon gloves, and her diamond engagement ring.
Also adds the team at Dolce & Gabbana, "The cape features Hand embroidered flowers in perfect 50’s style. The whole look, being completely handmade, is the perfect example of Italian craftsmanship."
For Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio, he opted for a double-breasted solaro (a special fabric famous to reflect sunlight ) and considering that he is launching the Ray-Ban Reverse during Met Gala...it was the perfect pairing. "I've done it inside out so from the reddish side out, then inside I've made a special silk lining, handmade bespoke, inspired by the Ray-Ban collection," notes suit maker Luca Rubinacci out of Milan.
For Glam, Jessica went for natural hair and flawless natural makeup, with a bronze aesthetic. Her Makeup by Soo Park and hair by Glen Coco.
The Milan based couple also opted for eyewear on the carpet to show off their latest collection, both custom. Ray-Ban Wayfarer Reverse for Leonardo with a red tint glass, and Jessica in Ray-Ban Aviator Reverse with a slight gray tint glass.
This marked the Met Gala debut for the couple, who got engaged last August on the Amalfi Coast.
