At London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, fashion took on an artistic dimension as stars gathered to celebrate the opening of Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art. The exhibition honours the legacy of Elsa Schiaparelli and its modern evolution under Daniel Roseberry—and the red carpet reflected that same spirit of bold, surrealist creativity.
Among the standout attendees, Daisy Edgar-Jones delivered a polished take on eveningwear, opting for a structured two-piece from Schiaparelli’s autumn/winter 2026 collection. Clean lines and a refined silhouette offered a subtle nod to the house’s avant-garde roots while maintaining a sense of modern restraint.
In contrast, Chase Infiniti embraced full surrealist expression in a striking lobster-red dress, complete with sculptural contouring that echoed Schiaparelli’s signature playful irreverence. Around them, guests including Elizabeth Debicki, Regina King, Naomi Ackie and Rina Sawayama leaned into the theme, showcasing looks that blurred the line between fashion and art.
The evening doubled as both a cultural moment and a style statement, reinforcing Schiaparelli’s enduring influence on contemporary design. With exaggerated silhouettes, unexpected textures and imaginative detailing taking centre stage, the event made one thing clear: surrealist dressing isn’t just for the runway—it’s defining spring’s most exciting fashion direction.
