As we have come to expect during the Venice Film Festival, Giorgio Armani dressed a sizeable group of guests for opening night, including several of the house's ambassadors. From classic tuxedos to shimmering gowns, there was plenty of variety within the Armani family.

Jonathan Bailey, Giorgio Armani Global Fragrance Ambassador, wore a Giorgio Armani tuxedo that took a classic black-tie foundation in a more relaxed direction.
The double-breasted jacket is fairly traditional, but the barrel-shaped trousers change the proportions, while the velvet scarf adds another point of difference alongside the pleated white shirt and velvet bow tie.
I really like how those elements shift what could have been a standard tuxedo into something much more distinctive on Jonathan.

Dolly Parton's suffering appeared to begin once her husband Carl Thomas Dean passed.
Despite a year of health struggles and a brief battle with cancer, Nikki Lund, who knew the country music legend through her longtime manager, Donny Nozell, believes Dolly died from a "broken heart."
While speaking to Page Six, she said the singer endured "a lot of loss in a short amount of time" following the death of her late husband, who passed away in March 2025, and her brother, Coy "Denver" Parton, who died last month.
Nikki said her loved ones saw a change in her spirit over the last year.
"Normally, she works all the time because she loves it. She's just a busy bee. She's always busy. And for the last year, she took a step back from the public eye and wanted to spend more time at home. She wasn't around anyone as much for the last year," she explained.
