The best outfits and beauty looks from the finale of Sanremo 2025

It’s been a long week, but Sanremo 2025 is finally over. We can say goodbye—or at least arrivederci—to Carlo Conti, who hosted Italy’s "holy week", keeping the artists marching at a fast and steady pace. He even managed (though somewhat controversially) to have Pope Francis make an appearance. In short, a kind of miraculous multiplication of loaves and fishes that overshadowed many of the numerous co-hosts and led to an all-male top five.

Alongside Alessia Marcuzzi, Bianca Balti (in Ermanno Scervino) and Alessandro Cattelan, Conti revealed that the music competition awarded the highest rankings to Simone Cristicchi, Fedez, Lucio Corsi, Brunori Sas, and Olly. The winner of the 75th edition of the Festival was Olly, with his song Balorda nostalgia. Some credit might go to his Emporio Armani looks, styled by Lorenzo Oddo, and that signature pornstache. Olly’s fans were thrilled, while others weren’t as happy and found comfort in crowning the best-dressed of this Sanremo. Among the finalists, we’re sure names like Achille Lauro, Elodie, Rose Villain, and Coma_Cose made the cut.

The Best Outfits and Beauty Looks from the Sanremo 2025 Finale

Francesca Michielin

Brand: Miu Miu

Look: The singer of Fango in Paradiso faced many challenges during this Festival, including an ankle injury. We were rooting for her, and we can confidently say that her beauty looks, crafted by Luciano Chiarello using Clinique products, were among the best of this edition. Tonight’s inspiration? The '90s: a slightly dewy complexion, neutral taupe shades, and mascara-heavy lashes to define the eyes. However, thanks to a stunning cranberry lipstick, the lips steal the spotlight. Her hair, styled by Angelo Rosa Uliana with Aveda products, was left loose, emphasizing her asymmetrical hime cut. What did she wear? She continued her streak of "very comfortable looks," chosen with stylist Susanna Ausoni, to "express a different kind of femininity, one much closer to me and my everyday life." All pieces were by Miu Miu. Specifically, on Saturday, Francesca opted for black trousers with a belt and a blush pink top with glitter, silk, and cut-out details.

Bresh

Brand: Ami Paris

Look: Stylist Michele Potenza selected another Ami Paris ensemble for Bresh, accessorized with APM Monaco jewelry. For his final descent of the Ariston stairs, he wore a mud-colored tee paired with bling-bling jeans, decorated with a golden, glittery diamond pattern. It’s the finale, so he gets a pass—even for the "New Year’s Eve, let’s go all out" effect. After all, with that face, the artfully tousled short haircut, and his laid-back attitude, what’s not to love?

Rose Villain

Brand: Fendi

Look: Rose Villian began her Sanremo journey in Fendi, alongside stylist Celia Arias, and ended it the same way. As she descended the Ariston stairs, she looked like a mix between a manga protagonist and a breathtaking goddess. This was thanks to her embroidered stretch tulle gown, adorned with crystals and pearls, paired with a knit corset—part of Fendi's Fall/Winter 2023 Haute Couture collection. Her hairstyle was equally stunning: an ultra-long blue ponytail, made even more special with delicate bows crafted from her own hair. The final touch to her look was a glowy makeup look, likely created using products from her newly launched beauty brand, Good Villain.

Tony Effe

Brand: Willy Chavarria

Look: Stylist Lorenzo Posocco had a hand in this one. For the Sanremo 2025 finale, Tony Effe chose one of the most prominent talents in contemporary fashion: American designer Willy Chavarria. The Damme 'na mano singer opted for a black suit. Under the double-breasted jacket? Nothing but his tattoo-covered torso. Despite the effort—and the fact that this is his best Sanremo look so far—it still gives off that over-the-top Italian-American gangster vibe. And the Tiffany & Co. rosary bracelet, along with the other jewelry, doesn’t help.

Clara

Brand: Balmain Haute Couture

Look: Clara'smission at this Sanremo? To shine brighter than anyone else—brighter than JLo on the red carpet. Styled by Francesco Vavallo, she journeyed from her debut in Roberto Cavalli to her final performance in Balmain Haute Couture. Her custom-made gown featured an exquisitely embroidered corset with over 5,000 high-quality glass elements in icy blue and crystal hues, paired with a long, draped skirt. Apparently, it took 10 artisans and more than 300 hours of work to create. Her jewelry was by Damiani. The make-up, by Selene Guffanti using MAC Cosmetics, continued its nod to ’90s and early 2000s supermodels: metallic blue eyeshadow, black eyeliner inside the eye, and a glossy lipstick (Lusterglass Lip Stick Signature Move). The beauty look was completed with long, tousled waves and a Jane Birkin-inspired fringe, styled by Salvo Filetti of Compagnia della Bellezza with L'Oréal Professionnel products. 

Serena Brancale

Brand: Balestra

Look: Serena Brancale’s Sanremo fashion story was all about sequins—various takes on sparkle, curated with stylist Ylenia Puglia and signed Balestra. For the finale, she went a little overboard, mixing too many decorative elements: a lace jumpsuit with sequins, cut-outs, and a hood. A perfect example of when "less is more" should have been the motto. But if Serena loves it, then the baroque jumpsuit stays.

Noemi

Brand: Patou

Look: Maybe Noemi recently rewatched How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and, like in the movie, told her stylist, Ramona Tabita, "Cover me in glaze." The result? A Patou couture gown encrusted with Swarovski crystals, featuring long sleeves, a high neckline, and a mermaid silhouette. The diva effect—present throughout her Sanremo looks—reached its peak. The beauty look was all about luminosity and elegance: a glowy complexion, champagne-toned make-up, and a sleek, ultra-high ponytail.

Olly

Brand: Emporio Armani

Look: Olly and his stylist Lorenzo Oddo played it smart with easy, custom-made looks by Emporio Armani. A winning choice. For the finale, he wore tailored trousers with a cummerbund, paired with a light blue open-front shirt revealing a tank top underneath. His beauty look remained unchanged throughout the week: baby mullet and pencil mustache.

Achille Lauro

Brand: Dolce&Gabbana

Look: The most elegant of them all? Probably. Thanks to the collaboration between stylist Nicolò Cerioni and Dolce&Gabbana. The finale's inspiration was a mix of James Dean and The Great Gatsby. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana created a high-impact look for Lauro: a maxi coat entirely embroidered with gold and crystals, a ribbed henley cotton tee (not to be confused with Rkomi’s forgotten undershirt from the first night), and slim wool trousers cinched at the waist with a quilted cummerbund. On his feet? Moiré lace-ups. Accessories? Damiani jewelry. The beauty look, done with Dolce&Gabbana Beauty products, was created by Michele Mancaniello and Mimmo Laserra.

Coma_Cose

Brand: Valentino

Look: One last taste of Valentino's Pavillon des Folies collection and one of those times when maximalism—both in fashion and beauty—actually works. Thanks to the styling by Tiny Idols (Silvia Ortombina) and Pablo Patané, Fausto Lama and California went for a black-and-red combo: he in a double-breasted suit with a ruff collar, she in an explosion of lace, topped with an ultra-wide-brimmed hat. Beneath the oversized headpiece? Feathered lashes and flaming red lipstick. Love them or hate them—guess which side we're on?

Giorgia

Brand: Dior

Look: Stylist Valentina Davoli chose another total black, custom-made Dior outfit for Giorgia. For her final descent of the Ariston stairs, the Roman singer wore shorts that highlighted her legs, a sheer lace blouse adorned with a large black silk bow, and an oversized blazer. Her beauty look was minimal: loose, soft hair, a subtle smokey eye, and a delicate pink lipstick. The result? Maybe not perfect, but it makes the singer look like a teenager again.

Elodie

Brand: Atelier Versace

Look: What can we say? She always looks like a goddess. For the final, Elodie wore a gown by Atelier Versace, adorned with embroidery, rhinestones, and sheer details. The defining features? A mermaid silhouette, a sweetheart neckline bustier, and a long train. Styled by Giulia Cova, Elodie once again embodied a true retro diva in total black, complete with opera gloves, a banana chignon, and cat eyes that would make even Lee Meriwether and Eartha Kitt—the first actresses to play Catwoman—pale in comparison.

Irama

Brand: Balmain

Look: The song he brought to the competition speaks of the slow unraveling of a love story. His outfits, all by Balmain, tell a different kind of love story—one of theatricality and a glam reinterpretation of military aesthetics. For the final, he wore tailored trousers and a navy blue jacket with gold epaulets and braiding, revealing a soft, deep-neckline blouse underneath. His blonde curls fell gently onto his forehead. And for a moment, in our minds, Irama’s image overlapped with that of Lady Oscar.

Joan Thiele

Brand: Chanel

Look: Joan Thiele performed Eco for the last time at Sanremo, wrapped in a dramatic, floor-length black and navy tweed cape with a lamé effect, paired with heels featuring crystal and pearl-adorned heels. Styled by Riccardo Maria Chiacchio, her all-black Chanel look wasn’t just illuminated by her talent but also by the Maison’s jewelry, including 18-karat white gold and diamond Bouton De Camélia earrings and rings. Her hair was styled into two long braids, while her sophisticated and radiant makeup, courtesy of Chanel Beauty, was enhanced by the Jeux de Lumières palette. Her gaze was defined with Signature de Chanel eyeliner, Stylo Yeux Waterproof Noir, and Noir Allure mascara. On her lips, she wore a blend of Rouge Coco Mademoiselle and Rouge Coco Baume. Joan Thiele is the ultimate dark coquette we all wish to be.

Gaia

Brand: ANDREĀDAMO

Look: Can we call Gaia the dark mermaid of Sanremo 2025? She took the stage at the Teatro Ariston for the last time, performing Chiamo io chiami tu in a dazzling asymmetric mini dress with fringe detailing by ANDREĀDAMO. On her feet, she wore sparkling sandals with a double ankle strap that wrapped around her legs in a spiral. Styled by Alba Melendo, Gaia’s beauty look fully unleashed her dark female energy. Her ultra-long, center-parted hair cascaded down her back, while her eyes were intensified with black pencil and eyeliner. The bleached eyebrows added an extra touch of drama.

Rkomi

Brand: Vivienne Westwood

Look: Rkomi performed Il ritmo delle cose in an all-black Vivienne Westwood ensemble, similar to what he wore on Friday night. The difference? Tonight, he added a long coat—though he took it off mid-performance. His hairstyle also remained consistent throughout the festival: a slightly wavy shag with fringe. Did you like it or not?

Sarah Toscano

Brand: Pucci

Look: Sarah Toscano is young, and perhaps that's why she chose a series of fresh and feminine looks for her Sanremo journey, relying on Pucci’s creations and the styling of Simone Furlan. Despite the best intentions, something didn’t quite work, and night after night, her outfits failed to impress many. The final combo— a crop top and a pareo-style skirt with graphic patterns—was no exception. However, Saturday’s beauty look was more on point. Her hair, styled with ghd tools, was left loose and slightly wavy, with a playful curtain fringe. Chantal Ciaffardini created a makeup look for Sarah in soft pink tones, including Make Me Blush by YSL Beauty, which added warmth to the singer’s cheeks.
