Vittoria Ceretti turned heads as she attended the Balenciaga Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025/2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday.
The Italian fashion model, 27, looked nothing short of sensational in a sophisticated black blazer, featuring satin lapels and a deeply plunging neckline.
Vittoria showcased her natural beauty with minimal makeup, appearing in high spirits as she smiled and waved for the cameras ahead of the show.
The beauty, who is currently dating Leonardo DiCaprio, was also joined by her pal, Fai Khadra, 33, who cut a casual figure in a black hoody and sported clear glasses.
Model Fai has previously been linked to various celebrities in the past including Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid.
He is currently known for his close friendship with the Jenner sisters and for his multifaceted career as a model, architect, designer, and musician.

Back in November 2022, the fashion house came under fierce fire after it released an ad that showed kids posing alongside various BDSM-themed items.
Brand ambassador Kim Kardashian, 44, initially faced backlash for refusing to cut ties with the brand and praising the way it handled the scandal, despite her claiming to be ‘shaken’ and ‘disgusted’ by the images.
Since then, she has made her loyalty clear by participating in an ad for Balenciaga’s Summer 2024 collection.
Clearly embarrassed by their ill-judged campaign, Balenciaga took the drastic step of wiping its social media pages clean after the controversy.
‘I have been quiet for the past few days, not because I haven’t been shocked and outraged by the recent Balenciaga campaigns, but because I wanted an opportunity to speak to their team to understand for myself how this could have happened,’ the Los Angeles-born celebrity said in a statement on her Instagram page at the time.
She continued: ‘As a mother of four, I have been shaken by those disturbing images. The safety of children must be held with the highest regard and anything against it should have no place in our society – period.’
She subsequently reissued the statement that saw some of the wording changed using stronger language adding: ‘Any attempts to normalize child abuse of any kind should have no place in our society – period.’
However, on balance, Kim said at the time that she was comfortable with how the company reacted to the scandal.

‘I appreciate Balenciaga’s removal of the campaigns and apology. In speaking with them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the issue and will take the necessary measures for this to never happen again.’
In an additional post, to both Instagram and Twitter, Kim said she was reconsidering her relationship with the fashion brand but had not made any firm decisions.
‘As for my future with Balenciaga, I am currently re-evaluating my relationship with the brand, basing it off their willingness to accept accountability for something that should have never happened to begin with — & the actions I am expecting to see them take to protect children.’
She was famously introduced to Balenciaga Creative Director Demna by her ex, Kanye West with the couple’s daughters also sporting the brand too.
She acknowledged the role her ex-husband had played in the relationship in December 2021 as she spoke at the People’s Choice Awards where she accepted a fashion award.
The two pals smouldered for the cameras as they arrived at the show

‘To Kanye, for really introducing me to the fashion world,’ she said. ‘I fell in love with fashion and I’m so inspired by so many people. But again, this is like a dream that I get to wake up and wear these amazing clothes and try new things and take a risk. I’m so humbled.’
At the time, Vogue described it as ‘the peak of Kardashian’s Balenciaga moment.’
Balenciaga is owned by Kering; the corporation also owns Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Bottega Veneta, Yves Saint Laurent and Creed.
On Twitter at the time, users appeared sceptical of Kim’s statement, with many suggesting only a complete cutting of ties from the brand would be appropriate.
Balenciaga publicly apologized and announced that it would be swiping off the ad from all of its social media profiles.
‘We sincerely apologize for any offence our holiday campaign may have caused. Our plush bear bags should not have been featured with children in this campaign.
‘We have immediately removed the campaign from all platforms,’ the high-end luxury house shared on Instagram.
