For Valentino Resort 2026, Alessandro Michele sets the scene inside a hotel, a space where solitude becomes connection, and the night turns into a gentle, collective dream.

Valentino’s Cruise 2026 campaign. Captured by Marili Andre and styled by Jonathan Kaye, the imagery moves away from the conventional glamour of resortwear, instead embracing an atmosphere of lyrical stillness and introspection. Set within the quiet corridors and softly lit rooms of a grand hotel, the campaign imagines night not as an end, but as an awakening of the senses.

A diverse cast—Dakota Johnson, Marisa Berenson, Dev Hynes, Anne Imhof, Tate McRae, and Devon Teuscher—inhabits this intimate world. Each character drifts through their own fragment of time: conversations half-finished, gestures suspended, light fading across velvet drapes.
