Every year, Melbourne’s biggest celebrities, socialites, TV stars and journalists converge to watch an exclusive VIP preview of Belluccio’s newest collection – and this year was the brand’s biggest yet.

The show included ballerinas, singers, models and Miss Universe Australia finalists, but the real stars were Belluccio’s latest gowns, inspired by the Snow Queen.

From the bold red tailored piece to the soft tulle and lace bridal gown, this collection was exotic, fierce and embellished. Although the gowns had an air of strength and confidence, they also had a delicate fragility with the sense that they could melt at any moment.
