Miranda Priestly in the Front Row, Pajamas on the Runway—Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2026 Showcased a Lesson in Fashion...

      Day five of Milan Fashion Week has concluded, leaving a memorable impression. A key highlight was Louise Trotter's highly anticipated debut for Bottega Veneta, which did not disappoint and warranted no critiques from us. Maximilian Davis presented a collection inspired by the 1920s for Ferragamo, seamlessly merging style and sophistication. Additionally, Dolce & Gabbana's spring collection named 'PJ Obsession' sparked a buzz on social media for various reasons.

      Let’s start with the surprising and iconic appearance of Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci, who delighted audiences by showing up fashionably late in full character as Miranda Priestly and Nigel Kipling from The Devil Wears Prada. Draped in couture, the duo entered the venue as if stepping onto a movie set—perhaps they actually did, as noted by @stylenotcom due to the high number of cameras around them. The audience of industry insiders and editors erupted into applause and began snapping photos. Anna Wintour, seated front row opposite the runway, acknowledged the moment with a gracious smile, complementing Streep with her dark sunglasses and bob haircut.

      Regarding the collection, the Italian fashion house immersed itself in the realm of pajamas, elevating sleepwear to high fashion. Founders and creative directors Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana reimagined traditional menswear-inspired pajama sets, infusing them with contemporary style. Some designs featured sharp, precise lines exuding elegance, while others embraced a more relaxed, oversized look. Embellished with crystals and stones, these once-basic sleepwear items transformed into bold statement pieces. Models sported faux fur slides reminiscent of lavish women's slippers. For outerwear, several models donned oversized faux fur coats that functioned as plush blankets—pieces that brought the comfort of home to the runway.

      The Devil Wears Dolce & Gabbana

      While the devil may wear Prada, she also sports Dolce & Gabbana, as evidenced by the brand's spring 2026 show. Streep appeared in a patent-leather camel trench coat from Dolce & Gabbana, cinched with a leopard-print belt over black trousers, while Tucci, her director in the film, sat beside her in a gray tuxedo. Actress Simone Ashley, rumored to be Priestly's new assistant in the sequel, was seated directly behind in the second row, donning a black strapless bustier and a sequin skirt.

      Pajama Party

      Similar to its spring 2026 menswear showcase, Dolce & Gabbana's spring 2026 ready-to-wear runway transformed into an elevated pajama party. The show commenced with cotton pajama shirts and pants reimagined for daytime use, featuring clean lines and luxurious details that conveyed freshness and sophistication. As the show progressed, the ambiance shifted to a more seductive tone, with pajamas crafted from sheer black fabrics, highlighting the brand's take on sophisticated sensuality meant to be seen. Models displayed sheer robes over bustier dresses or paired them with lace tops and transparent trousers. Accessories like thigh-high or mid-calf black socks struck a balance between glamour and comfort. Dolce & Gabbana's fresh take on pajamas was more than a styling choice—it was a bold statement that encouraged dressing without rules, giving wearers the option between daring, sheer pajamas or classic cotton ones.

      Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking

      Dolce & Gabbana fully embraced florals for spring, showcasing them in an array of luxurious interpretations. Floral prints adorned sheer playsuits and maxi dresses, celebrating the beauty of nature. Additionally, florals were presented through 3D appliqués, embroidery, and crystal embellishments, enhancing everything from relaxed striped drawstring pants to crisp button-ups, short blazers, and bralettes.

      Signature Elements

      Staying true to its heritage, Dolce & Gabbana's collection featured all the signature elements that the brand has showcased for decades—lace, bustiers, tailored pieces, and animal print. These designs were reinterpreted to align with the season's relaxed, pajama-inspired vibe. Delicate black lace layered beneath sheer fabrics added a sense of lightness to slip dresses and tops, while bustier dresses were styled under striped button-down shirts and corsets accentuated waists over ribbed tank tops, striking a balance of softness with classic D&G allure. Tailoring became a crucial aspect of the collection, with pajama shirts and trousers tailored to masculine standards, lending a refined edge to the flowing silhouettes. And naturally, no Dolce & Gabbana collection would be complete without animal patterns; this season, leopard print made a statement in outerwear, seen in a stunning cape-style coat and a mid-length, utilitarian jacket.

      Faux-Fur Accessories

      The use of faux fur in spring collections has been a prominent trend this fashion month, and Dolce
