Dfter going through what he called his “toughest year,” Bianca Balti she returned to Sanremo and enchanted everyone with the light and her philosophy of life: looking forward, without removing the past. A concept that was also reflected in the aesthetic choices, for the role of co-host of the fourth evening of the Festival number 76.
Icon of beauty and tenacity
The evening of duets this year was one of the most anticipated for a double reason. In addition to the interpretations of famous covers, the Italian supermodel she returned to Sanremo as co-host. Literally reborn after a year of fighting and treating cancer. Balti brought to the stage the unmistakable grace and radiance that made her an international top model. The sumptuous changes of clothes all signed Valentino Haute Couture by Alessandro Micheleand the graphic but very elegant beauty look they did the rest.
The very short and fatal bob
The absolute protagonist was the bob. The symbol of recovery from the disease, after the 2025 look in which she was shaved clean due to chemotherapy. Now the hair has grown back by at least 10/15 centimeters. And they are carved into a very short bobclean, cut at cheekbone level. But animated by one dark chocolate nuance delicious and with shiny waves, which frame the face with almost architectural precision.

The waves, compact and soft at the same time, evoked aecho of 1950s Hollywood. The curled quiff, carefully modeled, caressed the forehead like a couture detail: retro in suggestion, very current in execution. It is precisely in this short circuit between memory and contemporaneity that the look has found its strength.
A sophisticated balance: classic but not nostalgic, feminine but decisive. During the day, at the press conference, with a naked eye and red lipstick. While in the evening, on stage, the truth coup de théâtre.
Make-up that doubles your gaze
To complete the hairstyle, a make-up that focused entirely on definition. The focus was entirely onmassive eyelinerwhich doubled the basic graphics, creating an extreme geometric line. The contrast was total with luminous, smooth, almost impalpable skin.
The lips, however, have changed depending on the change of clothes. In a soft shade and glossy who doesn’t steal the show, with the pastel pink slip dress and the maxi golden pleated stole. In creamy shade coral with the aquamarine column dress. Red lipstick shocking with the black lace dress with a vertiginous slit.
Modernity, in this case, lies in the ability to take a classic aesthetic code and reread it with a present gaze. Transforming it into a mood that expresses resilience, maturity and a beauty that is not afraid to show itself even in its most delicate nuances.
