Kate Moss closed the runway as Demi Moore made a chic appearance with her dog, Pilaf, during Gucci’s Milan Fashion Week show.
The show, which marked creative director Demna’s first runway looks for the luxury Italian brand, was described by the 44-year-old designer as the “birthday” of his creative vision for the fashion house, he said in a pre-show open letter.
The former Balenciaga creative director, who was at the helm for a decade, was announced as Gucci’s new creative director in March. The Georgian designer officially took over the role in July, following the sudden exit of Italian designer Sabato De Sarno.
Demi Moore and pup Pilaf, Kate Moss support Demna’s ‘intentional and fully-formed’ Gucci beginning
Demna wrote the day before the Friday, Feb. 27, show in Milan, that Gucci “must become a feeling” and “must become an adjective.”
“This first Gucci show introduced a universe of people, archetypes, consumers and dress codes that will shape my design language moving forward,” he added.
“It is a beginning. But it is intentional and fully formed.”

To mark the occasion, top models Karlie Kloss – who made her first appearance on the catwalk since 2023, in a chunky black turtleneck and tan Gucci-monogram pencil skirt – and Emily Ratajkowski hit the runway in a silver mini dress.
Iconic supermodel Moss closed in a black sequined turtleneck gown with a Gucci g-string peeking out at the rear of the open-backed dress. The look, ripe for award show red carpets, was paired with a killer set of nails.
Meanwhile, Moore brought Trinity-coded glamour in an all-black leather ‘fit paired with wet-look hair and her celebrity pup, “micro” long-haired Chihuahua Pilaf. Kim Petras channeled ’90s pop diva in a tiny sheer black tube top and coordinated maxi skirt, and Donatella Versace graced the show with her fashion royalty presence, looking regal in a red coat adorned with Gucci monogram buttons.
Gucci’s previous creative director Alessandro Michele, who exited the brand in 2022 and now hails as the creative director at Valentino, also showed up to support Demna’s debut.
