Anne Hathaway, Donatella Versace and other fashion figures gathered in Rome to bid farewell to Valentino Garavani, who died this week aged 93.

The funeral took place at the Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels and Martyrs, where wreaths of white roses framed the altar. A large photograph of Valentino stood at the front, his signature presence felt in the details.

Some guests wore flashes of his famous red, a quiet nod to the designer who defined Italian glamour for decades.

Outside, crowds paused to watch, honouring a man whose name became a symbol of style itself.
