Georgina Rodriguez Returns to Gucci Roots at Milan Fashion Week

Georgina Rodriguez made a notable appearance at the Gucci show during Milan Fashion Week on Friday, marking a significant moment ten years after her first encounter with Cristiano Ronaldo while she worked as a sales assistant at a Gucci boutique in Madrid. Rodriguez, 32, arrived at the event in Milan wearing a black PVC mini suit accented with gold clips in her hair, displaying her engagement ring.

Her presence at the show comes a month after she and Ronaldo reportedly tied the knot in an intimate legal ceremony. Rodriguez attended the event solo, having traveled to Milan for the fashion week, which is scheduled to conclude on Monday, September 28. Designers such as Emporio Armani and Bottega Veneta are expected to present their Spring/Summer 2027 collections before the week's end.

Rodriguez was among a notable lineup of celebrities and models at the event. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, 39, commanded attention on the runway, leading other models including Candice Swanepoel, 37, and Alex Consani, 23. Other attendees included Camila Morrone, Vogue's global chief content officer Anna Wintour, and Homer, son of actor Richard Gere. Wintour was seen sitting alongside Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner. Poppy Delevingne, 40, and Princess Maria-Olympia, 30, also made appearances.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who has a longstanding career as a supermodel, also shared reflections on her career. She spoke about experiencing rejection in the fashion industry, describing it not as a failure but as an opportunity for growth. Huntington-Whiteley also credited her husband, Jason Statham, with teaching her the importance of self-advocacy and control within the industry. She noted that periods of struggle have contributed to her personal development and layered perspective.
