Miriam Leone, the dress with pockets in Taormina
For the long-awaited return to her homeland, Miriam Leone has chosen the philosophy of quiet luxury relying on Bottega Veneta. She wore a midi dress in washed silk taffeta from the Spring-Summer 2026 collection, worth 4,500 eurosin the unusual “tapioca” shade. What caught the attention was the asymmetrical play of the bodice, characterized by a shoulder strap dropped softly on the arm.

The rigor of the outfit has found its natural balance in glass hairthe brown hair cut cleanly, very smooth and so shiny that it reflects flashes like a mirror. This radical minimalism, devoid of flashy jewels, reflects the personal maturity claimed by the actress during the festival.
