Dfter five evenings of music and fashion, the curtain falls on the Ariston theatre. There final evening of the Sanremo Festival 2026 sees Sal Da Vinci triumph, but in terms of style it is with their dresses Giorgia Cardinaletti, Levante and Arisa who earn the title of winners of the look report cards.
The 76th edition of Sanremo 2026 ends with a parade of grand soirée dresses. There are those who border on excess (yes, Elettra Lamborghini again) and those who, like Ditonellapiaga and Laura Pausini, points in the opposite direction, with less “loaded” choices. Between glamor and provocation, elegance and eccentricity, another Festival officially comes to an end.
Sanremo 2026: final evening look report cards
For the most important evening of the Festival, the artists rely on the color of special occasions: black. From Serena BrancaleThat pays homage to her deceased mother with one of her dressesto Mara Sattei in custom Vivienne Westwoodtotal black reigns supreme. Ditto among men: Fedez and Masini, Fulminacci and Nayt are just a few examples, with some rare (and candid) exceptions like Sayf.
Giorgia Cardinaletti’s clothes at Sanremo 2026
Carlo Conti had proposed that she participate in the Sanremo final live (and surprisingly) during TG1. Accepted the invitation, Giorgia Cardinaletti presents itself at the Ariston bringing elegance and professionalism to the stage. For the occasion chooses two total looks by Ermanno Scervino with a minimal-chic style: the first is a couture tulle dress with azulejos and crystal embroidery, combined with rebrodè lace mules.

For her second descent from the Sanremo steps, however, Giorgia Cardinaletti opts for a black dress in silk creponne with embroidered ruffles and transparencies, again with matching shoes. Two refined outfits suited to the context, which bring it at the top of the fashion rankings of the evening.

Arisa and Levante: the looks of the fourth evening
Despite not having won the Golden Lion, Arisa and Levante take home the title best dressed of this edition. Both consistent in their style choices, they conclude their journey in Sanremo with two dresses worthy of the grand finale. Arisa, once again in Des Phemmes, wears a ribbed tank top and a silk duchess skirt, with a bow on the back that opens into a ten-metre train. This Festival marks a turning point in its imagenow more convincing than ever.

It’s no different LevantThat shines with elegance thanks to the Giorgio Armani sheath dress and jewels Damiani. An ensemble that brings to its peak that essential sophistication already perceived in previous looks.

In and out: Ditonellapiaga, Laura Pausini and Elettra Lamborghini
After three not too effective looks, Toe in the sore pull out the ace up your sleeve. For the final evening the interpreter of How annoying! still relies on Dsquared2, but takes a more chic turn thanks to the strapless dress with bodice and maxi skirt.

Laura Pausinico-host of the Festival, confirms its fluctuating trend until the end: the first dress, a bustier dress by Balenciaga from the Spring-Summer 2026 collection, works well, but the subsequent ones don’t have the same effect. Elettra Lamborghini’s outfit is worth reviewing: a sculptural and luminous creation, but at times excessive.
The Sanremo Festival 2026 comes to an end. AND fashion, once again, confirms itself as the protagonist together with the music.
