Kim Ji Won Wears a Filipina Designer to Bvlgari's Eclettica High Jewelry Event in Milan

Filipina designer Monique Lhuillier continues to be a familiar choice for red carpet regulars—and increasingly, for Korean stars as well. The latest to wear her work is Kim Ji Won, who stepped out in Milan for a Bvlgari event as one of the house’s global ambassadors.

For the occasion, Ji Won wore a Noir strapless tulle gown from Monique Lhuillier’s Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear collection, priced at P494,800.

From the neckline down, the structure is clear. The bodice sits off-shoulder, shaped by built-in boning that holds everything in place. The fabric then wraps across the torso and gathers at the waist, where the silhouette starts to loosen—opening into a front slit and falling into layers of sheer tulle. Meanwhile, the detachable wrap trails behind, adding length and a bit of sweep.

The esteemed designer carries it through the wider Spring 2026 lineup, where the rest of her pieces work with layered tulles, draped fabrics, and more sculptural silhouettes. The collection also introduces a more vivid palette and heavier surface detail, from florals to ombré finishes.

With the dress kept in black, the jewelry takes on a different role. The Queen of Tears actress wore pieces from Bvlgari’s Eclettica High Jewelry collection, introducing color through bold stones and more intricate settings.

Unveiled in Milan, Eclettica is one of Bvlgari’s more expansive high jewelry releases to date, with over 160 pieces spanning fine jewelry, watches, as well as handbags and fragrances. The collection draws from architecture, painting, and sculpture, bringing those references into pieces that are varied in both form and execution.

The collection includes transformable designs, allowing certain pieces to shift depending on how they’re worn. Others focus on scale and construction, including collar-style necklaces made up of hundreds of individual elements. A number of pieces are centered on rare gemstones that took months to source and assemble, with settings built around the stones rather than the other way around.

The presentation unfolded across Villa Arconati and Villa Necchi Campiglio, where the collection was staged alongside artworks that echoed its themes, tying jewelry back to its artistic references. Guests, including Anne Hathaway, Dua Lipa, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Jake Gyllenhaal, were in attendance alongside Ji Won.
