Leonardo Dicaprio’s Girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti Shines at the 2026 Winter Olympics
Vittoria Ceretti brought a high-fashion edge to the 2026 Winter Olympics, turning the opening ceremony in Milan into a personal runway. The 27-year-old supermodel, who has been in a high-profile relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio for over two years, was chosen for the prestigious role of flagbearer during the festivities on Friday, February 6.
For the hometown hero—who was born in nearby Brescia—the moment at San Siro Stadium served as a powerful tribute to her Italian roots and her status as a global style icon. Dressed in a custom Armani Privé gown, Ceretti appeared as a vision of dreamlike refinement as she walked the length of the stadium.
The floor-length white dress featured a sophisticated high neck and dramatic long sleeves, a look that captured the “Armonia” (harmony) theme of the night. She followed a procession of performers clad in the green, white, and red of the Italian tricolor, eventually handing the flag over to the Corazzieri, the elite honour guard of the Italian Carabinieri.
The ceremony was a star-studded affair that balanced athletic tradition with Italian pop culture. Ceretti’s walk followed a dazzling performance by music legend Mariah Carey, who opened the night with a rendition of the Italian classic “Volare.” Interestingly, the global broadcast didn’t shy away from Ceretti’s personal life, with commentators reportedly acknowledging her as the partner of a very, very famous actor.
While Ceretti and DiCaprio have famously kept their romance private, skipping red carpets at the 2026 Golden Globes and the premiere of his film One Battle After Another, this solo spotlight in Milan was her moment to shine as an individual.
Fans of the model were quick to celebrate her participation, noting the significance of a fashion model leading the charge in Milan, the world’s style capital. Some viewers even compared the moment to Carla Bruni’s appearance at the 2006 Torino Games, suggesting that Ceretti has officially reached “national treasure” status in her home country.
DiCaprio, though not pictured beside her at the stadium, has been her steady companion since 2023, and sources say the Oscar winner is incredibly supportive of her career achievements.

As of February, Vittoria Ceretti is maintaining her title as one of the busiest and highest-paid supermodels in the industry. Beyond her Olympic duties, she recently appeared on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Italia for their February 2026 issue and is currently the face of the Giorgio Armani Spring/Summer campaign.
While she has frequently expressed an interest in acting or psychology, she remains focused on her modeling, having recently walked for every major house during the latest fashion month circuit.
Her boyfriend, Leonardo DiCaprio, is also entering a massive year in cinema. He is currently receiving early awards buzz for his performance in the Paul Thomas Anderson film One Battle After Another, which also stars Sean Penn and Benicio del Toro.
Furthermore, DiCaprio is set to reunite with director Martin Scorsese and co-star Jennifer Lawrence for the psychological thriller What Happens at Night, which begins filming in February. He is also confirmed to star in Michael Mann’s Heat 2, with production scheduled to start later this year.
