Anne Hathaway, Donatella Versace, and Tom Ford were among the many who attended the funeral of Valentino Garavani in Rome on Friday, appearing somber as they paid their respects.
The celebrated fashion designer passed away peacefully at his home in Rome on Monday at the age of 93, with family by his side.
Celebrities gathered at the Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels and Martyrs in Rome to honor the celebrated designer.
Anne, age 43, was one of the first to arrive. She originally met Valentino while filming the popular movie, The Devil Wears Prada.
Valentino’s foundation announced the sad news on Instagram, sharing that his body will be available for public viewing before his funeral on Friday at the Basilica Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri in Rome’s Piazza della Repubblica.
As a lifestyle expert, I’ve always been fascinated by true style icons, and Valentino is definitely one of them! Over his amazing sixty-year career, he’s had the privilege of dressing some of the most influential women in the world – think Kim Kardashian, Victoria Beckham, even royalty like Princess Diana and the unforgettable Jacqueline Kennedy. It’s a testament to his timeless designs that he’s dressed such a diverse and impactful group of women.
He became famous for his perfect suits and stunning dresses, and for always using a specific, vibrant shade of red that’s now simply called ‘Valentino red’.
The Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giametti Foundation announced today the peaceful passing of its founder, Valentino Garavani, at his home in Tome, with his family by his side.
People will be able to pay their respects at PM23, located at Piazza Mignanelli 23, on Wednesday, January 21st and Thursday, January 22nd, between 11:00 am and 6:00 pm.
The funeral is scheduled for Friday, January 23rd, at 11:00 AM at the Basilica Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri, located at Piazza della Repubblica 8 in Rome.
