The V&A museum in London opened its Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art exhibition to the press on March 25, 2026. One standout display, Body Bijoux, appeared in the Back to the Future section, as shown in photos from the GazetteXtra preview coverage.
Exhibition Highlights
This show marks the UK’s first full showcase of Elsa Schiaparelli’s work, from the 1920s to today. It blends fashion with art through pieces that push design boundaries.
Glamorous Gala Dinner Follows
That evening, a gala dinner drew celebrities to South Kensington. Elizabeth Debicki wore a figure-hugging nude illusion dress with a bold torso print, high neckline, and sleeveless bodice. She paired it with black slingback heels and gold earrings, hair in an updo.
Daisy Edgar-Jones chose a beige co-ord: structured funnel-neck top with gold buttons and a midi skirt with asymmetric hem, plus black heels and a mini clutch.
Others included:
- Vick Hope in a black dress with plunging neckline
- Calvin Harris in black velour blazer and trousers
- Angelina Kendall in deep red top and feathered black skirt
- Maggie Maurer in black gown with cut-outs and bra detail
- Naomi Ackie in black bodycon with cut-outs and ruffles
