Creative director Alessandro Michele continues to explore fresh aesthetics and new muses in the Valentino Cruise 26 campaign. After presenting a radiant Spring/Summer 2026 collection in Paris, Michele turns to the theme of travel, setting the new campaign within the evocative atmosphere of a hotel.

The black-and-white film introduces an ensemble cast through a sequence of artistic vignettes, creating an intimate and cinematic tone. The campaign also marks singer Tate McRae’s debut collaboration with the brand, alongside recurring Valentino muses such as Dakota Johnson, Dev Hynes, and Anne Imhof.

Soundtracked by Chopin’s Nocturne in E Flat, the film unfolds at a gentle rhythm, emphasizing the craftsmanship and fluid silhouettes of the Cruise 26 collection.

Among the standout garments are sheer sequined gowns, refined tweed blazers, and sculptural mini dresses, complemented by signature Valentino accessories that mix tradition with innovation. Central pieces include the Panthea Shoulder Bag and the D’Orsay Bondie Pump, which define the character of the collection.
