Valentino has cultivated a long and important relationship with Black celebrities, notably including iconic supermodels Iman and Naomi Campbell, alongside stars such as Beyoncé and Halle Berry.

As we honor the late designer's legacy and the brand's lasting appeal with Black folks, let's take a look back at some of our favorite iconic looks.

Viola Davis blushed in a hot-pink Valentino gown, adding a hint of drama with feathers adorning the neckline and bust at the 2023 Met Gala.

Usher Raymond looked amazing in a custom Valentino denim look for the designer's show day during Paris Fashion Week.

Leomie Anderson looked absolutely heavenly in this Valentino all-white lace dress, which she wore at the 2021 British Fashion Awards.

In 2022, iconic supermodel Naomi Campbell wore a bright pink, empire cape with a decorative headpiece in Doha, Qatar, to honor Valentino. Talk about a standout moment.

Adut Akech definitely made Valentino proud when she wore this beautiful turquoise-blue dress at The Green Carpet Fashion Award in 2019.
