Il December 7for Milan, does not only mean celebrating Sant’Ambrogio, but starting one of the most emblematic evenings of the year: the Before the Staircasewhere tradition, culture and glamor intertwine in a ritual that deeply belongs to the soul of the city. Beyond the curtain that opens on the opera A Lady Macbeth from the Mcensk district di Dmitrij Sostakovicit is the foyer of the theater that tells a story made of elegance, aesthetic codes and sartorial choices that dialogue with the great Italian tradition.
And it is precisely on this stage that Barbara Berlusconi captured our attention, bringing a sophisticated and modern elegance to the opening night, capable of fitting perfectly into the fashion language of the Premiere without giving up a note of audacity.
Barbara Berlusconi’s look at the Prima della Scala 2025
For the evening that inaugurates the 2025-2026 La Scala season, the Milanese entrepreneur chose a semi-transparent dress in iridescent shades by Giorgio Armanicharacterized by a dense pattern of sequins and micro-reflections which play with the light of the Scala chandeliers, creating a luminous and sparkling effect. The dress, long and slightly structured on the bustier, enhances the silhouette without sacrificing movement and fluidity, while the skirt slides along the body with lightness and elegance. To complete the look, essential but carefully studied details: light point earrings in an emerald green nuancewhich illuminate the whole without exaggerating, and a hair look with soft and sophisticated waves, which completes the whole, giving it the allure of a contemporary diva.
With this stylistic choice, Barbara Berlusconi interprets the iconic style of the Prima della Scala with elegance and modernity, transforming its entrance into a memorable moment that combines glamour, refinement and personal charm. A look that not only inaugurates the opera season, but it also opens up that of parties, where shining becomes a prerogative.
