Ah, the days when life was a continuous swirl of glitter, flashing cameras, and runway lights—when my reflection in the mirror wasn’t just me, but Sharon Stone reincarnated! Yes, darlings, I’m taking you back to those golden years where I sashayed between the velvet ropes and the red carpets, perfectly poised as the star of my own fabulous life.
I remember it as if it were yesterday. The high heels, the couture, and oh, the Italian men! The Milan Fashion Weeks were more than just fashion events—they were epic, week-long parties of elegance and adoration. You see, back then, stepping into a room was like a scene out of The Devil Wears Prada, except Prada was the absolute minimum I would wear! Dolce & Gabbana? Of course. Versace? Naturally. But Prada… well, that was my casual Sunday brunch attire.
And speaking of Italian men—oh, how they would swoon! There’s something about the way they spoke, how their eyes would widen, and the compliments would flow with that intoxicating accent. “Bella! Incantevole!” (I mean, who wouldn’t melt at that?) It was as if I had my own personal fan club, following my every move like I was the last piece of tiramisu on the table.
They were everywhere: backstage at the shows, lounging in the exclusive after-parties, or sipping espressos in the chicest cafes, never missing a chance to remind me just how captivating I looked. I still giggle at the memory of one particular fashion show where an especially dashing Italian literally tripped over his own feet as I walked past him. Now, you might think I was embarrassed, but, darling, I was flattered.
It was like being in a movie where every frame was steeped in pure, unapologetic glamour. If I wasn’t draped in sequins, I was draped in luxury fabrics; if I wasn’t on the runway, I was holding court at the most exclusive events. I was living my own little slice of La Dolce Vita, without the messy parts (mostly).
Of course, there were the inevitable diva moments. I mean, who hasn’t had a slight meltdown when their perfectly tailored dress wasn’t exactly what they imagined? Or when the champagne at the after-party wasn’t chilled to perfection? (Can you imagine the horror?)
But those were minor details in an otherwise fabulously extravagant existence. And though the years have passed, and I now watch Fashion Week from the comfort of my sofa, wearing something far more “casual,” I still feel that little spark of nostalgia. That little flash of the old magic, where I was Sharon Stone—practically the queen of Milan’s fashion scene, making hearts race faster than a Ferrari on the streets of Italy.
Because let’s be honest, once you’ve lived that kind of glamour, it never really leaves you. It just transforms—like a timeless Prada bag, it’s always in style.
