The 27-year-old’s high-neck ensemble and slicked-back low bun highlighted both the elegance of her outfit and the symbolism of the flag.

Ceretti walked behind models dressed in suits representing the Italian tricolor, creating a vivid display of red, white, and green.

She later handed the flag to a Corazziere Cuirassier, completing her ceremonial role with poise.

The announcer introduced her as “representing the new generation of fashion,” while also noting her high-profile relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio, which became public in 2023.

The opening ceremony featured other star-studded moments, including Mariah Carey performing the Italian classic Volare alongside her track Nothing Is Impossible, adorned in 306 carats of diamonds.

Ceretti’s look was complemented by emerald-cut diamond jewelry valued at $15 million, including a double-strand necklace, bracelet, and drop earrings, adding to her commanding presence on stage.
