On September 13, 2025, the world of fashion buzzed with fresh inspiration as two Italian publications, La Voce dei Brand and Stylosophy, unveiled the latest bridal and eveningwear trends set to define the upcoming season. From the dreamy, architectural elegance of Pronovias’s 2026 bridal collection to the viral allure of Elisabetta Gregoraci’s black lace lingerie dress, the news offered a vivid snapshot of how style continues to evolve—sometimes quietly, sometimes in a flurry of social media excitement.
Let’s start in Barcelona, where the heart of the Pronovias creative team beats. According to La Voce dei Brand, the Spanish maison has launched a new 2026 bridal collection that’s already capturing the imagination of brides-to-be around the globe. The creative project, born in the vibrant Catalan capital, is a tribute to both architecture and nature—two themes that have long inspired the world’s greatest designers. Every gown in the collection is conceived as a lasting piece, a symbol of eternal love that speaks directly to modern brides seeking both elegance and authenticity.
What sets the 2026 Pronovias collection apart? It’s structured around three distinct thematic acts, each with its own visual language and emotional resonance. The first, titled "Atemporale," draws inspiration from the modernist curves of Masia Freixa, a jewel of Catalan architecture. Here, gowns take on sculptural silhouettes, with powerful volumes and decisive lines. These are dresses for brides who want to radiate strength and grace, blending the timeless with the contemporary. As La Voce dei Brand puts it, these pieces are “models thought for brides who wish to exude strength and elegance, with a style that resists the passage of time.”
The second act, "Essenza," shifts the mood to one of refined simplicity. Set against the poetic rationalism of Casa Gomis, the collection here celebrates minimalism as an absolute value. The gowns are stripped back to their essentials—pure fabrics, clean lines, and the kind of pared-down detailing that lets the bride’s personality shine through. It’s a look that’s perfect for those who want a “minimal chic” wedding dress for 2026: simple, yes, but never dull. As the magazine notes, “minimalism becomes synonymous with refinement: pure fabrics, clean lines, and reduced details tell an intimate and sincere aesthetic.”
Completing the trilogy is "Origine," where the Mediterranean’s shimmering light and tranquil seascapes inspire gowns that are light, romantic, and quietly breathtaking. Think fluid fabrics, delicate transparencies, and subtle nods to the natural world. These dresses are made for moments of intimacy and romance, ideal for brides dreaming of a wedding infused with the spirit of the sea. In the words of La Voce dei Brand, “the collection opens up to the light and calm of the sea, rediscovering the roots of Pronovias.”
Of course, choosing a wedding dress remains one of the most emotional and delicate decisions a bride—and often her mother—will make. With so many options, styles, and collections to sift through, the process can feel overwhelming. That’s why publications like La Voce dei Brand see it as their mission to provide early, comprehensive coverage of both national and international bridal brands, helping readers make informed choices at every step.
But bridal style isn’t the only story making waves this September. On the same day, Stylosophy spotlighted Italian television personality Elisabetta Gregoraci, who’s once again at the forefront of fashion trends. Gregoraci stepped out in a black lace lingerie dress, and the look has already gone viral—poised to become the must-have piece of the season. The dress, with its asymmetrical cut and intricate lace details, manages to strike that rare balance between femininity, sensuality, elegance, and sophistication.
According to Stylosophy, Gregoraci’s dress isn’t just a fleeting trend; it’s a versatile staple that can be styled for a range of occasions. Pair it with a deconstructed blazer and heels for a romantic evening, or throw on a bomber jacket and biker boots for a more casual vibe. The article encourages readers to see the lingerie dress as a wardrobe essential, noting, “the secret is to pair it with the right garments and accessories, adapting it to the context and occasion.”
Of course, Gregoraci’s fashion moment comes with its share of tabloid drama. Weeks earlier, she found herself at the center of gossip columns due to rumors of a flirtation with actor Francesco Arca. Speculation flared after the two were seen together on a boat in Pantelleria, but Arca, through his lawyer, was quick to deny any romantic involvement and announced legal action against the magazine that published the rumors. Arca’s wife also publicly refuted the story. More recently, whispers have surfaced about a possible new relationship between Gregoraci and 27-year-old entrepreneur Lodovico Patti, after the pair were reportedly spotted together on vacation in Bali. As of now, neither Gregoraci nor Patti has commented on the rumors, leaving fans and the press to speculate.
All the while, Gregoraci remains focused on her career and her knack for setting trends. Her latest fashion choice is a case in point. The black lace lingerie dress, as described by Stylosophy, is “feminine and seductive, elegant and sophisticated, perfect to be matched with different styles and moods on various occasions, from the most informal and casual to the most formal and refined.” The publication’s advice? Don’t wait—make this dress your own for the season ahead.
What ties these two stories together is a shared focus on authenticity, versatility, and the emotional resonance of fashion. Whether it’s Pronovias’s architectural bridal gowns or Gregoraci’s viral eveningwear, the message is clear: today’s women want clothing that tells a story, that adapts to their lives, and that helps them express who they truly are. As the new season unfolds, both brides and fashionistas alike have plenty of inspiration to draw from—whether they’re walking down the aisle or simply out on the town.
In a year defined by both innovation and a return to roots, the latest collections and style icons remind us that fashion isn’t just about what we wear—it’s about how we feel, and the memories we create along the way.
