The best looks from the 2026 Sanremo Music Festival

During the Primafestival of the Festival di Sanremo 2026, the 30 Big names of Italian music walked the inaugural green carpet, offering a first glimpse of trends, daring choices, and fashion statements. While everyone is asking who wore what at Sanremo, one thing is clear: black reigns supreme, though some artists broke the rules with humor and personality. Even in the city of flowers, Sanremo, this green carpet was less botanical than expected: total black emerged as the winner, interpreted in minimalist, rock, or couture styles. Here are some of the best looks Sanremo 2026 from the singers that are already making headlines.

Malika Ayane in Jil Sander

Black sobriety with a pop of electric blue for Malika Ayane, dressed in Jil Sander. Minimal, but with a colorful twist.

Maria Antonietta and Colombre: Original and Surprising

On the Sanremo 2026 green carpet, the most original looks went to Maria Antonietta and Colombre. He mixed a coat, shirt, and trousers by Corneliani with a cardigan by Massimo Alba and bicolor moccasins by Sebago, creating an elegant yet unexpected style. She opted for an animalier fur by Art Dealer, “moon” boots by Maison Skorpios, and refined earrings by Bea Bongiasca, combining eccentricity with glamour.

If this is just the beginning, the week promises sparks. From minimal total black, rock leather, couture feathers, to oversized tailoring, the looks of the Sanremo 2026 singers have already sparked debate.

And while we continue to ask who wore what at Sanremo, one thing is clear: on the Ariston stage, it’s not just singing. It’s a runway, a statement, a performance. The contest has just begun—and we’re already in the front row.

The first night of the Festival di Sanremo, held at the Teatro Ariston, shone a spotlight not only on the music but also on the stars’ outfits, true protagonists of the evening. Between tailored elegance, vintage revivals, and a few bolder fashion choices, the festival’s debut highlighted the first style trends of Sanremo 2026.

From the Primafestival green carpet, the dominant trend was already clear: the grand return of the men’s double-breasted suit. Structured, fitted, and sometimes embellished, the double-breasted jacket took center stage at the Ariston, reaffirming the power of classic tailoring. Alongside this revival, pinstripes in a retro key also stood out, evoking the style of Al Capone, with sophisticated all-black looks accented by subtle sparkling details.

One of the most anticipated moments of the first night was the triumphant return of Tiziano Ferro. As a special guest, he took the stage in a tailored, rhinestone-embellished Etro suit—elegant and luminous at the same time. More than twenty years after his first appearance at Sanremo, Ferro returned more confident than ever to present his latest single, “Sono un grande”. The title itself feels like a declaration of artistic maturity: after 25 years of career, full of opportunities taken and missed, personal growth, and the search for audience recognition, he can now say it with certainty. Both his look and his performance already rank among the most iconic moments of this edition.

A few other stars also broke the fashion monotony. Ditonellapiaga, in Dsquared2, embraced a theatrical, over-the-top look, standing out as one of the boldest of the night. Similarly, Fedez opted for minimalist elegance in Jil Sander, highlighted by a striking detail: his tattooed back revealed through a slit in his shirt.

The rest of the evening featured refined and well-constructed outfits that stayed within classic boundaries. Arisa in Des Phemmes, Malika Ayane in Jil Sander, Levante in Giorgio Armani, and Mara Sattei in Vivienne Westwood showcased elegant silhouettes, high-quality fabrics, and styles consistent with their artistic identities.

Among the men’s looks, Olly in Dolce & Gabbana, who opened the night as a special guest in a contemporary dandy style, and Leo Gassmann in Dsquared2, impeccable in a clean, effortless look with a soft shirt tucked into high-waisted black trousers, stood out.

The first night of Sanremo 2026 confirmed a fashion narrative focused on sobriety, tailoring, and vintage references, punctuated by standout moments like Tiziano Ferro’s triumphant return. The upcoming nights may either reinforce these trends or surprise with bolder, more theatrical choices capable of leaving a lasting mark in the history of Sanremo outfits.

As we imagined – and hoped – the Sanremo Festival 2026 has already raised the bar during the second and third nights. We’re not talking so much about the songs – which are now on everyone’s lips – nor about the TV show itself, but about the sheer glamour that lit up the Ariston stage.

Shining the brightest were true international stars: Laura Pausini, who dazzled in looks ranging from Armani Privé to Alberta Ferretti in white and yellow dresses, confirming her status as a global icon of elegance and style; and Achille Lauro, in Dolce & Gabbana and a brand ambassador for two years, who brought a contemporary look to the stage paired with a magnificent diamond necklace, turning every moment into pure magic.

But the glamour didn’t stop there: Mazzariello, in Kenzo, won hearts with his unique style – perhaps also thanks to his guitar ;) – while Sayf lit up the stage in a silver Moschino suit, perfectly coordinated with his sparkling braids.

Sanremo 2026 fashion proves once again that the Ariston stage is not just about music, but also a runway of style and international elegance.

The fourth night of the Festival di Sanremo 2026, the penultimate stage of this edition, traditionally celebrates cover songs: a highly anticipated moment where the 30 competing artists reinterpret iconic tracks from Italian and international music, often alongside special guests. This night doubles—or even triples—the fashion opportunities: each performance comes with new, bold, and surprising outfits, ready to captivate fashion enthusiasts and spark conversation.

Under the spotlight of the Teatro Ariston, the runway of the fourth night transforms into a stage of glamour and creativity. Here’s our selection of the most exclusive looks that stood out for style, character, and audacity:

With the curtain down on the Festival di Sanremo 2026, it’s time for reflections and takeaways. While the winners and losers are now decided, the true challenge of the event—the style on the iconic Ariston stage—remains open for discussion. Five nights, thirty singers, two main hosts, and a parade of guests turned the stage into a true fashion runway, showcasing dozens of outfits blending glamour, boldness, and luxury trends.

Among them, Ditonellapiagga stands out as the undisputed fashion winner of this edition: her electrifying energy and striking personality translated into impeccable Dsquared2 outfits, capturing every gaze and exceeding all expectations. Representing the male category, Sayf won hearts with his unmistakable style: iconic braids, Moschino suits, and John Richmond details—a perfect mix of audacity and international class that impressed night after night.

Not a competitor, but the journalist Giorgia Cardinelletti distinguished herself among the guests with innate grace, highlighted by two elegant Ermanno Scervino dresses that effortlessly emphasized class and femininity. Finally, Malika Ayane, after her early nights in Jil Sander, closed in grand style wearing Brunello Cucinelli, shining with discreet sophistication and capturing the attention of both the audience and fashion lovers.

In short, Sanremo 2026 didn’t just celebrate music—it also crowned fashion, with Divo Boutique ready to highlight the looks to remember and follow.
