Armani Prive Host 'One Night Only' In Dubai with Lily James

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Armani Hotels in Milan and Dubai, Giorgio Armani hosted a memorable One Night Only event in Dubai on Wednesday (October 27), with Lily James, Jurnee Smollett, Sharon Stone, Melanie Laurent and Taylor Hill in attendance.

Sustainability was the key to the event, so guests wore archive pieces on the red carpet.

Lily James wore an archive Armani Prive Fall 2005 dress, which isn’t quite vintage being only 15 years old, but it’s definitely a classic.

This dress will still be relevant 15 years from now.

The details – which are probably handmade – are blowing my mind, along with the fit.

Oh to be Rebecca Corbin-Murray who had the pleasure of raiding Armani’s archive to select this piece.

You’d have to drag me out of that vault. Kicking and screaming.

Jurnee Smollett is no stranger to wearing Haute Couture, or archive pieces from Armani Prive, as she wore an Armani Spring 2009 gown to The Academy Museum Of Motion Pictures Opening Gala last month.

On this occasion her Armani Prive gown featuring blue flounces and colourful embroidered crystal bodice hails from the Spring 2020 collection.

Thanks to Milla B for reminding us all that this dress was first worn by Zhang Ziyi back in 2009 for the ‘Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky’ Cannes Film Festival premiere.
