The opening ceremony of Winter Olympics Milan-Cortina d’Ampezzo 2026 took place on February 7 (Korean time) at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. Among the most extraordinary moments of the event was the appearance of Italian supermodel Vittoria Ceretti (27), who entered the stadium carrying the Italian national flag before the host nation’s anthem.
Ceretti, who is Italian, took part in a catwalk-style tribute performance in honor of legendary Milanese designer Giorgio Armani, who passed away in September last year. The performance mixed fashion and ceremony, transforming the Olympic stage into a symbolic catwalk.
Models dressed in Armani suits in red, white and green, the colors of the Italian flag, walked in formation, while Ceretti appeared among them in an elegant white dress. Moving with the poise of a parade, he walked among the models before ceremonially handing the Italian flag to the honor guard of the Italian National Gendarmerie, creating one of the most evocative moments of the evening.
Beyond her modeling career, Vittoria Ceretti has also been in the spotlight for her personal life. For the past three years she has been dating Leonardo DiCaprio, who is 24 years her senior. Their relationship attracted widespread attention as Ceretti is known for breaking DiCaprio’s long-rumored “rule” of only dating women under the age of 25.
