Dolce & Gabbana’s star-studded Venice show was thrown into chaos on Monday as the heavens opened in a torrential storm at St Mark’s Square.
The superstar guests were left scarpering beneath the torrential rain as videos emerged across many fashionistas’ social media pages showing the chaos. The likes of Kourtney Kardashian (who was caught on film huddled beneath an umbrella by Emma Weymouth) and actress Kate Bosworth were caught up in the pelting weather.
Twitter was flooded with varied reactions, including alarm, concern and outright hilarity as many found the videos of scrambling stars humorous, as the Italian designers showcased their Alta Sartoria collection.

Over the top, she penned: ‘Cannot stop watching and laughing at this… and nope, I’m not there. Just watching from afar.’
The collection is called Collezione Genesi (Genesis Collection), and will debut on the luxury marketplace UNXD later this month.

It is said to ‘bridge the physical with the metaphysical’ and will feature items personally designed by co-founders Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana themselves.
The concept was inspired by a dream from one of the designers, called Dress from a Dream. The collection will focus on the rich artistic history and artistic traditions of the famous floating city.
The new NFT range was shown on Saturday, with an official live auction kicking off on the 6th September.
