THEand first two evenings of Sanremo Festival 2026 have passed and few things are certain: the tan of Carlo Conti, the irresistible charm of Sandokan and of Achille Lauro on Italians and the elegance of Levant. There Sicilian singerfor the third time on the Ariston stage, brings the song to the competition It’s you: «a list of all the sensations and power that love makes us feel. All the physical sensations.”
It is a performance that aims at the essence: few gestures, voice in the foreground, emotion that makes space in silence. Her looks accompany the song in a suspended, delicate, precious and almost indestructible atmosphere. His “royalty” does not arise from excess, but from subtraction and from equilibriumsigned by the king of elegance, Giorgio Armani.
Levante at the Green Carpet: Armani coat and flowers
Already at the Green Carpet, Levante has clear ideas: elegance will be his companion on stage. The black coat by Armani, combined with more decisive details, builds a sober but not severe image. It is the most “urban” moment of the three looks, the one that prepares the ground for the Ariston scene. Here elegance is created daily, concretealmost a preview of the story which then becomes brighter and more suspended on stage.
Prime time: the gold that makes no noise
For the debut on the Ariston stage, Levante chooses a warm and measured light. The champagne-colored dress by Giorgio Armani accompanies the song It’s you with discretion: it shines, but does not invade; captures the eye without taking away space from the voice. The essential, longuette line builds a composed, almost silent elegance. The bright details dialogue with the performance, underlining the idea of an emotion that doesn’t need to turn up the volume to be heard.
Second evening: a poem in blue
The following evening the visual story changes color, veering upwards aquamarine tones. The Armani suit, colder in shades but equally bright, gives back a rarefied, almost dreamlike atmosphere. The blue crystals outline the bust and shoulders with precision, while the silhouette remains clean, without excess.
Levante looks like a mermaid sculpted in the lighta figure suspended between grace and decision. It is a variation on the theme of essentiality: same basic idea, new emotional temperatureas if the song found a different light while remaining identical in its intensity.
