You could be forgiven if you thought that Gucci’s Resort 2020 extravaganza was just one night of Harry Styles and Stevie Nicks-fueled revelry, but the Italian brand’s Musei Capitolini celebration provided so much more for its attendees. Through an immersive trip of the city and its heritage, the event allowed for a deeper understanding of designer Alessandro Michele’s poetic collection. Even before landing in Rome, Jodie Turner-Smith was ready for that deep dive. The actress—soon to be seen onscreen in Cinemax’s crime drama Jett and the Lena Waithe–written thriller Queen and Slim—has spent her career disappearing into complex part. This week, it was all about embodying the spirit of the Gucci girl.
Intelligent, stylish, and more than willing to embrace eclecticism, Turner-Smith more than fits the bill of Michele muse and she used her time in Rome to bring a little runway glam to the city’s tourist attractions. Why simply visit the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain when you can do so in head to toe Gucci? The fun continued with the show itself and armed with a Polaroid camera, Turner-Smith captured every important development from first look to star-studded after-party in this exclusive Vogue diary.
