Giorgio Armani Hosts ‘Crossroads’ Dinner With Sheila Atim

Giorgio Armani hosted an intimate dinner at The Hero Maida Vale to celebrate Sheila Atim and her involvement in Crossroads Season 5, a project directed by Celine Song that centres women’s lived experiences, growth and transformation. The setting was understated, thoughtful, and quietly emotional — exactly the right backdrop for a night focused on storytelling.

Sheer Elegance

Sheila Atim, the woman of the hour, wore an Armani dress with a sheer pleated skirt that softened the silhouette, introducing fluidity, lightness and right amount of sensuality.

With temperatures near freezing, she wisely styled her look with a faux fur jacket.

In The Details

I was instantly drawn to the midnight blue accents on Nathalie Emmanuel’s Armani suit. The lapels and pocket detailing subtly shifted the tone, giving the look a seasonal depth that lifted the entire look. This is tailoring that relies on refinement, and it suits Nathalie, who is known as a bit of a wildcard, perfectly.

All About The Coat

New mum Lashana Lynch opted for a burgundy leather trench coat. The rich tone felt timely, grounding the look while still allowing her presence to command the room. It was unfussy, and confident.

Three women, three interpretations of Armani, all aligned by clarity, confidence and a shared respect for storytelling.
