On 5 November 2026 our ambassador Raimondo Rossi was back at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills for the Women in Film Honors Gala.
Women in Film is the organisation founded in Los Angeles in 1973 to support the careers of women in film and television, in front of and behind the camera. Each year WIF Honors celebrates artists, executives and entrepreneurs in the industry and raises funds for the organisation’s programmes on careers, research and parity.
This time he wore a Davide Cristofaro bow tie in two-tone silk satin, red and black.
“Being invited to the Women in Film Gala this year was truly incredible. I soaked it all in and enjoyed every single moment even more.”
The evening
The 2026 edition was presented by Max Mara.
Five awards were presented:
- the Jane Fonda Humanitarian Award to Salma Hayek Pinault;
- the WIF Max Mara Face of the Future Award to Adria Arjona;
- the Crystal Award for Advocacy in Film to Beth de Araújo and Gemma Chan for the film “Josephine”;
