Bvlgari’s auruBOROS New York Event: All the Red Carpet Looks

Bvlgari celebrated the unveiling of auruBOROS – Urban Memory and Collective Dream, its new exhibition exploring the Serpenti icon through art and design, with an event overlooking the New York skyline from the High Line. Ambassadors Anne Hathaway, Dua Lipa and Lisa were joined by friends of the Maison Andra Day, Hudson Williams, and Joey King.

Serpenti in Soft Focus

Anne Hathaway wore a draped silk maxi dress that you will instantly recognise as McQueen, as we have seen this style many times before in a variety of colours, and it remains part of the label’s permanent collection.

The simplicity of the look made perfect sense when the jewellery was always going to be the focus, while continuing the elegant approach we’ve seen from Anne throughout her pregnancy. The pale hue and fluid draping provided an elegant backdrop for her Bvlgari necklace, with its coloured pendant immediately drawing the eye, as well as that stunning bright red lip.

Aquazzura So Nude sandals and Bvlgari jewellery completed her look.

Lace After Dark

Lisa delivered the most dramatic look of the night, going the vampy route in a Belik Couture dress which low-key has Dita von Teese’s name written all over it.

There is a lot going on, but that scooped neckline served its purpose by showcasing the Bvlgari High Jewelry necklace and earrings.

Christian Louboutin Miss Z Degrastrass Perla pumps completed her look.

Corset & Carats

Dua Lipa took a completely different route, and I have to say that I love the balance here. The top is heavily embellished, which only serves to highlight the spectacular Bvlgari Serpenti choker.

Usually, I am team ‘keep the canvas plain’ when the jewellery is this significant, but Dua makes a case for embellishment meeting embellishment.

Feather Forecast

Andra Day, who was the guest performer on the night, was also my favourite in this Naeem Khan Fall 2026 sequinned feathered gown. You know me and my love for Naeem Khan, so this will come as no surprise.

But this isn’t about the name alone. I was hooked by the seductive silhouette, her new blowout and those smouldering eyes, and that was before the Bvlgari Serpenti jewellery entered the conversation.

Almost Tonal

Hudson Williams wore Jacquemus, and I love The Bastide jacket. The collarless construction gives the cream tailoring a fresh feel, but I wish the trousers had been in the same tone. That slight difference is distracting. I thought I was on board with the ivory-and-white combination, but this isn’t working for me, which could be down to the difference in fabrics.

Black Jacquemus woven Derby shoes and Bvlgari jewellery completed his look.

Fringe Benefits

Joey King opted for the Mimchik Fall 2026 Nara fringe dress, but it was the accessories that caught my eye because we have a mix of metals here, with the gold Bvlgari Serpenti Cuore 1968 bag and silver Bvlgari jewellery.

The bag would have worked better for me had it been silver.
