Leighton Meester Serves Aquatic Inspiration in ‘Jellyfish' Dress by Giambattista Valli at ‘The Buccaneers' Season Two Photo Call
Leighton Meester joined her fellow cast members for 'The Buccaneers' Season Two photo call on Wednesday in New York City. The second season of the Apple TV+ series, costarring Christina Hendricks and Kristine Forseth, debuts on the streaming platform on Wednesday. Meester turned to the runway for her attire. The 'Gossip Girl' alum wore a look courtesy of Giambattista Valli's spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection. The dress featured a jellyfish-style silhouette, thanks to the construction of the skirt.

The white, sheer pieces of fabric featured wistful movement and were adorned with leaves, continuing the botanical-inspired look and feel of the frock. Meester opted to wear translucent heels with the look and went minimal with her accessories, keeping the focus on the Giambattista Valli ensemble. While it wasn't the direct theme or inspiration for Valli's spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection, Meester's dress certainly featured aquatic inspiration — a trend that had been previously seen on the runway throughout 2023's collections. Mermaidcore saw a major resurgence as part of such designer collections as Bottega Veneta's spring 2023 collection, Versace's spring 2023 collection and Valentino's spring 2023 collection. The mythical, marine-life trend included flowing silhouettes, aquatic colorways and more. Today, mermaidcore is still featured in capsule collections. Los Angeles-based swimwear and resort-style brand LSpace released their Sea Sirens collection ahead of summer last April, taking cues from the mermaidcore trend of past seasons. Meester's look made its runway debut as part of Paris Fashion Week in September 2024. 'Lightness with the gravitas of couture history is a way to describe Giambattista Valli's oeuvre,' Booth Moore wrote in WWD's review of the collection. 'And for spring 2025, he wanted to push the signatures he's developed over the years — roses, botanical prints, luxe embroideries, bubble skirts and nods to India — toward the future.

Giambattista Valli Resort 2026 Collection
Morocco is woven into Giambattista Valli's language 'as an obsession,' he said. For resort, Marrakesh's influence descended from the heights of last season's couture, reinterpreted in a breezier, more laidback register. Think a palette of spicy reds and saffrons, and printed profusions of roses and bougainvilleas as if plucked straight from a garden. Steeped in the kind of jet-set wanderlust he excels at, the collection offered (momentary) escapism with its feet (lightly) planted. Said Valli: 'Who could fault the longing for a breath of beauty in a world that feels increasingly harsh?' Valli has always been a believer in the power of grace, and in beauty rooted not in trends but in personal conviction. For him, style is less about chasing the moment and more about embodying something timeless. 'People are afraid of the idea of classic, harmonious beauty—they think it's uncool, dusty, passé,' he observed with a shrug. But he's rather unbothered by fashion's fleeting flirtations, and remains steadfast in his vision. This collection is a case in point, striking a balance between romance and realism. Long, fluid dresses had beautifully draped bodices; lace slip dresses were edged with delicate capelet sleeves; and boho flounced frocks floated with asymmetrical whimsy. Interwoven with these billowy silhouettes were svelte minidresses and tailored short suits rendered in light fabrics, anchored by embroidered babouches and crocheted tarbooshes, lending just a dash of eccentric charm. It was Valli making the case for chic pragmatism, unafraid to mix the dreamy with the grounded.

This year's selections highlighted local identity and rooted narratives, contrasting the homogenized, location-flexible nature of mainstream Hollywood productions. Films such as Partir un Jour and The Sound of Falling emphasized the importance of place and community, while others tackled weighty themes like historical memory, justice, and identity. Notable examples included The Disappearance of Josef Mengele and Two Prosecutors, which delved into collective remembrance and accountability. Collectively, Cannes 2025 underscored a thematic current of grounding cinema in the specific, the personal, and the politically resonant. This year was less about rigid dress codes and more about individuality. Whether it's through daring cuts and vibrant hues.

EXCLUSIVE: Giambattista Valli to Receive Award During Couture Week
COUTURE DOUBLE-HEADER: It's shaping up to be a memorable Paris Couture Week for Giambattista Valli this July, when he will be elevated from Knight to Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters. In lieu of two events, he's decided to combine the unveiling of his fall 2025 haute couture collection with a celebration event at his Paris headquarters, which is a stone's throw from the Opéra Garnier. More from WWD Giambattista Valli Won a Bridal Award in Barcelona Dream Weavers Amanda Seyfried Goes Sheer With Romantic Details in Little Black Lace Giambattista Valli Dress at David Yurman Party This 'more private event' is billed as an exclusive presentation, not a traditional runway show, 'offering guests a more personal and immersive experience.' Vall has mounted exhibitions for couture in lieu of runway displays several times, just before and during the pandemic, offering a close-up, unhurried view of his maison's know-how. He first ventured into haute couture in 2012. The Rome-born, Paris-based designer was decorated as a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters during Paris Fashion Week in September 2023, with Diana Widmaier Picasso and Anna Wintour delivering testimonials. The French award of merit is bestowed by the Ministry of Culture. Established in 1957 to recognize artists and writers, as well as others who have contributed significantly to the arts in France, the Order of Arts and Letters has been awarded to the likes of Iris van Herpen, Demna, Simon Porte Jacquemus, architect Peter Marino and the late fashion editor André Leon Talley. Valli is racking up the accolades this year. Last month, Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week handed the designer its 2025 Industry Impact Award, which recognizes significant contributions to the bridal sector. The designer introduced his first 'Love' bridal capsule, sold by trunk show, in 2021.
