The house of  Valentino returns with a cinematic flourish in its Cruise 2026 campaign, aptly titled “Nocturno”, where time seems to suspend between wake and repose. 
“Valentino Cruise 2026 Campaign
Leading this visual journey is global ambassador Dakota Johnson, whose presence anchors the imagery with a serene, refined power.
Captured by photographer Marili Andre and styled by Jonathan Kaye, Johnson appears in luxurious compositions that feel both intimate and epic. Shot within hushed hotel spaces, the campaign conjures an emotional stillness, a set of figures suspended in the drift between day and night.

Alessandro Michele’s creative direction evokes that liminal zone where light softens and the body exhales.
Johnson, sharing the frame with a thoughtfully curated ensemble of artists and models, becomes the embodiment of modern romanticism: confident, understated, and impeccably elegant. “I feel so good in these clothes,” she remarks, reflecting a creative reunion with Michele that fuses friendship, artistry and couture craft.
