Diana Penty at Tod`s Fall-Winter Show 26/27
Diana Penty made a striking appearance at the Tod's Women's Fall-Winter 26/27 show during the Milan Fashion Week, embodying the house's signature blend of timeless craftsmanship and contemporary elegance.
Set within an immersive environment celebrating Italy's rich artisanal heritage, the presentation unfolded as a collective performance where gesture and craftsmanship took center stage. Alongside Tod's artisans, masters from diverse creative disciplines demonstrated their expertise live, showcasing the savoir-faire that defines the excellence of Made in Italy. This dialogue between crafts reaffirmed Tod's enduring philosophy of Artisanal Intelligence - a legacy rooted in quality, precision, and meticulous attention to detail.
Creative Director Matteo Tamburini envisioned a Fall-Winter wardrobe shaped by exceptional materials and refined artisanal techniques. Leather emerged as the defining narrative element, uniting traditional saddlery methods with modern lightness and material depth.
Diana Penty's look perfectly captured this vision. She carried the Di Bag Folio, paired with elegant slingback footwear, and wore Look 20 from the Spring-Summer 2026 collection - a sophisticated ensemble that reflected the brand's seamless fusion of heritage and modernity.
Her presence at the showcase highlighted a refined, confident aesthetic that resonated with Tod's dedication to craftsmanship and contemporary design.
Talking about her camaraderie with her Do You Wanna Partner co-star Tamannaah Bhatia, she said, "I don't think we struggled with that at all. It just flowed very naturally and we were able to improvise a lot in the scenes as well because we had a great rapport and chemistry off-screen".
"We were comfortable enough with each other to be able to take that liberty to say things to each other, you know, you know, whatever it was not like this formal equation where we have to be careful of what we're going to say to each other. So, I think that really helped and we were lucky that, you know, we had that equation. But it's very interesting", she added.
