Valentino makes the night sexy, again.
Valentino’s Cruise 2026 campaign explores themes of intimacy and nocturnal beauty through a cinematic lens. Set within the quiet corridors of a hotel, it follows a series of brief encounters that feel both personal and distant.
Creative Director Alessandro Michele continues to shape a new chapter for Valentino, blending romanticism with restraint and emotion with quiet power. Filmed by Renell Medrano and photographed by Marili Andre, the campaign is accompanied by Chopin’s iconic “Nocturne in E Flat“, its melody reflecting the stillness and rhythm of the night.
“Doors closed, lights dim, and a hundred separate lives pause in the same suspended moment. For Valentino Cruise 2026, Alessandro Michele sets the scene inside a hotel, a space where solitude becomes connection, and the night turns into a gentle, collective dream,” the brand explains.
