The singing event also comes to life in terms of style. Between couture, formal dresses and the standard tuxedo, fashion has its say without taking too many risks.
The seventy-sixth Sanremo Festival will be remembered for many things, but perhaps not for creativity. Even the second evening of the event, in fact, certifies easy and safe choices of looks, without too many flashes of ingenuity. Sobriety, which often borders on boredom, is fashionable at Ariston. Between impeccable outfits bordering on the obvious and thrill-free choices, here are the comments on the looks from artist after artist. Honorable mention for Lillo who brings a burst of energy and friendliness to an overly diligent stage and audience. Lifetime Achievement Award, also stylistic, goes to Fausto Leali who, despite his almost 82 years, remains consistent and always the same.
Carlo Conti doesn’t miss a beat in Stefano Ricci – Rating 7
Gianluca Gazzoli presents the finalists of the Nuove Proposte with an impeccable Emporio Armani velvet tuxedo and makes no mistake – Score 7
Laura Pausini confidently relies on Giorgio Armani Privè and Damiani for jewels. The debut with a glittery jacket and trousers suit immediately defines her status as Queen of the Festival. During the duet with Achille Lauro he finds his dimension with a white couture shirt. It’s a shame that at the end they must have turned off the heating at the Ariston, the coat, as beautiful as it is, is too much. – Rating 6.5
Nicolò Filippucci. The first artist to perform among the Nuove Proposte and the first finalist of the same, the boy, from the Amici team, promises well and not only vocally – Score 7
Blind, El Ma & Soniko. The song may become a catchphrase for Gen Z, but among the sequins and studs it seems a bit like being at prom, you need to work on the look a bit. – Score 6-
Mazzariello. A little Beatles, a little Cupid in Kenzo, nice to coordinate the heart-shaped guitar with the double cap of the moccasins. – Rating 6.5
Angelica Bove. In a white Emporio Armani suit, with that face and that voice he should and could dare much more. Rating 6.
Patty Pravo in Simone Folco is theatrical in a red velvet total look. However, we like Piper’s ex-girlfriend darker. Rating 6.5.
Achille Lauro. First co-host of the evening, Lauro plays confident in a total black or white look by Dolce & Gabbana with Damiani jewels. To be a young Inconscient is all too easy and, please, enough with these hands in your pockets. – Rating 6.5
LDA & Aka 7even are coordinated in Pence 1979. Brown is the seasonal color ok, but what do two gianduiotti look like. Rating 5
Enrico Nigiotti. Okay, give all your attention to the song, but how boring – Rating 4
Pilar Fogliati. The actress brings a bit of verve to the Sanremo stage. He makes his debut in Giorgio Armani Privé and Pomellato jewels, continues sensually in Roberto Cavalli and closes with Giuseppe Di Morabito between marabou and pearls. Beautiful is beautiful, nice too. – Score 7
Tommaso Paradiso always seems to have just gotten up from the sofa even when he is dressed in Emporio Armani. Rating 6
Lillo overwhelms Ariston with his friendliness and even the black t-shirt under his tuxedo is forgiven, the Anagni move is already a cult, we would like more of Lillo. Rating 8
Elettra Lamborghini with Voilà is preparing to make all the holiday clubs dance in summer 2026 and should be protected like the WWF pandas, the gag on bilateral parties is already legendary, but the level-up on high fashion with Tony Ward was successful. Rating 7
Francesca Lollobrigida (2 Gold Speed Skating), Lisa Vittozzi (Gold Biathlon) EA7, Giacomo Bertagnolli with Andrea Ravelli (Paralympic ski mountaineering) and Giuliana Turra (Paralympic curling) all in EA7 Emporio Armani, are the pride of the country. Rating 9
Ermal Meta – On his third outing with Trussardi, he’s starting to get a little bored. Rating 5
Levante Chic even if she doesn’t explain how she manages to reach those notes, squeezed into a Giorgio Armani dress. Rating 8
Rag dolls, after the uncertain looks of the first evening, a mix between rock and Jem and the holograms with Cult shoes, ok. Rating 6.5
Chiello. A little Demon Hunter and a little Trainspotting, yes. – Score 7
J-AX. More than faithful, always him: Old Wild J-AX. – Rating 5
Nayt doesn’t take risks and could, with a beautiful tie stopped by the ring, which awakens Tommy Hilfiger’s. – Score 6
Fulminacci – Part Rick Astley, part accountant in Ami Paris. – Rating 5.5
Fedez & Masini. They look a bit like father and son at the final exam, but the look holds up. – Score 6
Fausto Leali (lifetime achievement award) – glitterati, 81 years old, a tour in the USA, another generation, another championship. – Score 6
Like it or not Dargen D’amico in Mordecai is not boring. -Rating 6.5
There is always something of Lana del Rey in Ditodellapiaga in Dsquared2, who perfectly interprets the Milanese neuroses with the hit Che Fastidio. – Score 8
