Bvlgari Unveils Polychroma High-End Collection
Bvlgari transformed Sicily’s ancient Greek Theater in Taormina into a breathtaking showcase of couture and carats for the unveiling of its Polychroma High-End Collection.
The event drew global attention, with brand ambassadors Lisa Manobal, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Liu Yifei, and Viola Davis each offering their own distinctive take on red carpet glamour. The location? Iconic. The jewels? Next-level. The looks? Let’s get into it.
A Dress Made For an opera house
Lisa set the tone for the evening with a look that felt custom-built for this level of drama. Wearing a Krikor Jabotian strapless gown, she brought couture theatre to the Sicilian stage. The structured lime-yellow neckline draped across her shoulders provided a zesty contrast to the serene white body of the gown—like a lemon sorbet cutting through rich panna cotta. The shape, the sculpting, and the way it added volume without swallowing her up was a triumph. Bvlgari jewels sealed the deal.
When the Dress won’t let the necklace speak
Priyanka Chopra ticked the trending box by choosing a vintage Dior by John Galliano. There’s a quiet romance to the silhouette and an almost ceremonial feel that gestures toward traditional Indian dress codes. But it just didn’t quite land. Aside from feeling a bit matronly for her, the high neckline and crystal overlay didn’t make sense for a jewellery event where your necklace needs room to shine. A puzzling choice from someone who knows her angles, and knows this brand.
this is balance
The same can’t be said for Liu Yifei, who was breathtaking in a strapless Elie Saab Haute Couture gown that perfectly complements—rather than competes with—her Bvlgari jewels.
The dress and the diamonds coexist effortlessly, each enhancing the other without vying for attention.
A velvet curveball that paid off
Viola Davis took a small risk in stepping outside her usual style playbook, and it paid off beautifully. Her black velvet and satin Mugler gown with the dramatic leg reveal gave it just enough oomph. But it ultimately served as a luxe, understated backdrop for those gleaming Bvlgari jewels. Sometimes, the smartest move is to let the accessories run the show—and Viola did just that with grace and power.
