Vittoria Ceretti carries Italian flag in white Armani at Winter Olympics opening

Vittoria Ceretti dazzled at the Winter Olympics 2026 opening ceremony at Milan’s San Siro Stadium, carrying the Italian flag in a white, floor-length Armani gown with a high neckline. She kept her hair slicked back in a low bun as she walked down the runway. The 27-year-old walked behind several other models wearing suits matching the Italian flag’s color scheme and handed the flag off to a Corazziere Cuirassier.

When it came to wardrobe, she opted for a custom winter white gown and feather cape by Roberto Cavalli’s Fausto Puglisi. Mariah Carey performed during the star-studded ceremony, singing the Italian classic "Volare" and her own track "Nothing Is Impossible." The superstar was iced out with 306 carats of diamonds valued at a collective $15 million, courtesy of Levuma; she wore emerald-cut diamond jewelry set in platinum — a double-strand necklace, bracelet and drop earrings.

Ceretti’s moment in the spotlight comes two months after she and Leonardo DiCaprio were caught in a rare PDA moment.
