Björk DJs at Venice Biennale in Bottega Veneta Fiberglass Dress

festival-fair · 2026-05-08

Yesterday, Björk took to the decks at the Venice Biennale, donning a striking bubblegum pink ankle-length dress from Bottega Veneta's fall 2026 collection designed by Louise Trotter. This particular piece, look 80, is crafted from recycled fiberglass needles and was featured in the runway's dramatic closing looks. She completed her outfit with a golden mask created by her frequent collaborator James Merry and a sizable hat designed by Myah Hasbany. Hasbany’s hat, which earned the top honor at the L'Oréal Young Talent Award at Central Saint Martins in London, is made from hand-crocheted mohair sourced from eBay and draws inspiration from a Texas folk legend about a UFO crash. Björk is renowned for her bold fashion choices, including the iconic swan dress by Marjan Pejoski at the 2001 Oscars, and has sported creations from various designers, including Alexander McQueen, with whom she had a notable collaboration featured on her album Homogenic.
