The 75th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival began under the spotlight, delivering an unforgettable opening night filled with emotions, spectacular performances, and dazzling fashion. While the artists’ musical prowess captivated audiences, the visual impact of their stage looks was equally striking, transforming the Teatro Ariston into a true runway of high fashion.
The Hosts: Carlo Conti, Gerry Scotti, and Antonella Clerici
Returning as host and artistic director, Carlo Conti once again led the evening with his signature elegance and charisma. Joining him on stage were Gerry Scotti and Antonella Clerici, whose dynamic presence and natural chemistry created a warm and engaging atmosphere, setting the perfect tone for the festival’s grand opening.
Fashion Takes Center Stage
Beyond the performances, fashion played a pivotal role in shaping the night’s aesthetic. Some of Italy’s most celebrated celebrity stylists—Nick Cerioni, Rebecca Baglini, Alba Melendo, and Ramona Tabita—were behind the breathtaking ensembles that turned each performance into a visual spectacle. These fashion masterminds meticulously curated looks that not only complemented the artists’ personalities but also told stories, adding layers of meaning to their music.
With a masterful blend of tradition and innovation, they played with trends, silhouettes, and textures, crafting outfits that became as iconic as the songs themselves. Bold cuts, luxurious fabrics, and intricate details merged seamlessly with the essence of each artist, proving that at Sanremo, fashion is far more than just an accessory—it’s an integral part of the performance.
A Night of Elegance, Creativity, and Expression
From daring contemporary designs to timeless couture elegance, the fusion of music and fashion elevated the night, turning the stage into a canvas of artistic expression. Each artist, through their unique look, narrated a piece of their journey, reinforcing Sanremo’s legacy as a festival where music and style intertwine in perfect harmony.
As the first night of Sanremo 2025 came to a close, one thing was clear: while music remained the festival’s heart, fashion played an equally essential role, bringing a touch of magic and grandeur to every moment. Thanks to the impeccable work of visionary stylists, this edition of Sanremo is already shaping up to be an unforgettable celebration of both musical and sartorial artistry—a festival that will be remembered not just for its songs but also for the elegance that illuminated every corner of the stage.
