Go Behind the Scenes With Delilah Belle for the Premiere of Demna’s First Gucci Collection

In the season of over a dozen designer debuts, it’s important to stand out. That’s why, for Demna’s first collection, Gucci forwent a traditional runway show and instead opted for something a little more glamorous. On Tuesday evening in Milan, the house effectively staged a premiere for the short film The Tiger, directed by Spike Jonze and Halina Reijn. The video stars a suite of Hollywood favorites, including Demi Moore, Elliot Page, Keke Palmer, Edward Norton, and more.

Though there was no catwalk, models—including Alex Consani and Lila Moss—walked the red carpet wearing the clothes that guests were about to see on the silver screen. Others, such as model and actress Delilah Belle, attended dressed to the nines in head-to-toe Gucci, ready to take in the house’s new era. “I’m mostly just excited that it’s Demna’s first [collection],” Delilah Belle tells ELLE. “I honestly can’t wait to see what he does with it.” The model sported a burgundy velvet bodysuit paired with a low-slung transparent sequined skirt and a Horsebit necklace—the perfect glamorous juxtaposition for the runway-cum-carpet-premiere.

Interestingly, the lookbook for the pieces, titled “La Famiglia,” officially dropped a day prior to the start of Milan Fashion Week and gave a perfect teaser of the cast of characters to come. The rollout comes on a tight schedule, too—this collection is expected to hit stores almost immediately in an unexpected see-now-buy-now format.

Demna has always played with archetypes—whether in the beginning at Vetements or during his tenure at Balenciaga. Now, these humorous personas give us a Rolodex filled with what to expect come his official fall/winter 2026 runway debut.
