Leonardo Dicaprio’s Girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti Steals the Spotlight at the 2026 Winter Olympics
Vittoria Ceretti brought a clear fashion-forward energy to the 2026 Winter Olympics, turning the opening ceremony in Milan into a moment people are still talking about. The supermodel stepped into the global spotlight on Friday, February 6, when she appeared as one of the official flagbearers for Italy during the ceremony at San Siro Stadium.
The information comes from coverage of the opening ceremony and broadcasts of the event, which highlighted Ceretti’s role and her connection to Italy. At 27, the model represented her home country on one of the world’s biggest stages, and the moment carried personal meaning for her. Ceretti was born in Brescia, a city not far from Milan, making the night feel like a full-circle moment.
She wore a custom Armani Privé gown designed specifically for the ceremony. The white, floor-length dress featured a high neckline and long sleeves, giving it a soft and elegant look. The design matched the theme of the evening, which was centered around Armonia, meaning harmony.
As she walked through the stadium, Ceretti followed a group of performers dressed in green, white, and red, reflecting the Italian flag. She carried the flag with calm confidence before passing it to the Corazzieri, the elite honor guard of the Italian Carabinieri. The moment blended tradition, pride, and fashion in a way that felt very Milan.
The opening ceremony itself mixed sports and pop culture. Before Ceretti’s appearance, Mariah Carey performed for the crowd, opening the night with Volare, a classic Italian song known around the world. During the global broadcast, commentators also referenced Ceretti’s personal life, noting her relationship with a very, very famous actor.

Ceretti has been dating Leonardo DiCaprio for over two years, though the two are known for keeping their relationship quiet. They skipped major red carpet appearances together this awards season, including the Golden Globes and the premiere of DiCaprio’s latest film. That made Ceretti’s solo moment in Milan stand out even more.
Fans quickly reacted online, praising the choice to have a fashion model represent Italy at the Olympics. Many pointed out that Milan is one of the world’s fashion capitals, and Ceretti felt like a natural fit. Some viewers even compared her appearance to Carla Bruni’s role at the 2006 Torino Games, with a few calling Ceretti a national treasure in the making.
Although DiCaprio was not seen at the stadium, sources close to the couple have said he is very supportive of Ceretti and her career. The night belonged fully to her, and she handled it with grace and confidence.
As of February, Ceretti remains one of the busiest models in the industry. She recently appeared on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Italia for the February issue and is currently the face of the Giorgio Armani Spring Summer campaign. She also walked in shows for nearly every major fashion house during the most recent fashion month.
While she has mentioned interests outside modeling, including acting and psychology, Ceretti has stayed focused on fashion for now. Her Olympic appearance only added to her growing status as one of Italy’s most recognizable modern icons.
Leonardo DiCaprio is also heading into a major year. He is already receiving early awards buzz for his role in the Paul Thomas Anderson film One Battle After Another, which stars Sean Penn and Benicio del Toro. He is also set to reunite with Martin Scorsese for the psychological thriller What Happens at Night, co-starring Jennifer Lawrence, and will later begin production on Michael Mann’s Heat 2.
