David di Donatello 2023: the carpet is red, but the looks are all black

What a bore, what a beard. Cha beard, what a bore (cit.). We have to be honest: we had to judge only by the clothes – a little resignedly – flaunted on the red carpet, that of the 68th edition of the awards Donatello’s David it would certainly not go down in the recent history of costume as one of the most friccicarelle and crackling evenings.

On the red carpet, the stars of Italian cinema let themselves be infected by the reassuring certainty of total black: so elegant, so classy, ​​but often just as boring. Black sheath dresses and black slip dresses, black tuxedos and black tunics: few escape the golden rule of black as a synonym of chic, without too much effort to appear, let’s not say bizarre, but at least slightly original.

So much so that in the monotonous and quiet dark fluidity of the evening, those stars stand out who, without giving in to bombastic follies, dare at least a little: Blessed Porcaroli (looking east), Elodies (in black yes, but the more I don’t see than I see), Jasmine Trinca (unexpected flashes of silver, for her) and even Paola Cortellesifor which even just white is enough to stand out in the crowd.

Special mention for the hostess of the evening, together with Carlo Conti: una Matilde Gioli in nuance gold David, designed by Giorgio Armani Privé: a neckline that very few can afford, that someone has criticized… and that we promote, however, with full marks.

All the looks of the David di Donatello evening, below:

The white fly.

The lady of Italian cinema dresses as the script dictates. I mean, like a lady.
Score: 7

Jasmine Trinca at Prada
And so it was that one of the most low profile of Italian cinema ended up giving us one of the few glittering thrills of the evening. More and more beautiful, there is little to say.
