Anna Stukkert in Rafalieva Couture: Venice Film Festival & Better World Fund Gala

At the Venice Film Festival 2025, international media entrepreneur and philanthropist Anna Stukkert attended the world-renowned premieres, joining global cultural leaders such as Denis Vilfrest Ivanovich. Her presence on the red carpet was a statement of elegance and influence, bridging cinema, fashion, and philanthropy.

For this occasion, Anna chose an exclusive gown from Rafalieva Couture by designer Alina Rafalieva. The dress, which the designer herself defined as a true chef-d’œuvre, reflected the essence of haute couture: a meticulously constructed silhouette with a delicate, sculpted corset that refined the waistline and highlighted femininity with architectural precision. Every detail was executed with an almost artistic devotion, creating a garment that was not just fashion but wearable art. Rafalieva, born in 1992, has dedicated more than fifteen years to perfecting her craft, creating over 5,000 bespoke gowns that celebrate individuality, elegance, and the timeless ideal of the “new couture woman.”

The journey continued at the Better World Fund Gala during the Venice Film Festival. This prestigious charity evening at the legendary Hotel Cipriani was attended by global figures including Kevin Spacey, Eric Roberts, Victoria Bonya, Hofit Golan, and many others from cinema, art, and philanthropy. The gala, praised for its mission of creating a more sustainable and inclusive future, highlighted how culture and fashion can become powerful tools for global change.

In both settings — the dazzling Venice premieres and the international Better World Awards Gala — Anna Stukkert in Rafalieva Couture embodied the union of elegance, creativity, and purpose. Her choice of Rafalieva’s masterpiece underlined the rise of a new generation of designers who bring together craftsmanship, innovation, and a vision of beauty that transcends time.

Manaj Brand: Premiere at Sala Grande

Another highlight of the Venice Film Festival was the premiere of the film “Il Maestro (My Tennis Maestro)” at the legendary Sala Grande – Lido di Venezia. For this occasion, Anna Stukkert chose an elegant and refined look by Manaj Brand.

Manaj Brand is a fashion house dedicated to creating sophisticated and timeless silhouettes. With a focus on refined lines and meticulous attention to detail, the brand transforms fabrics into harmonious creations that are not only seen but also felt, leaving a lasting emotional impression. Each collection by Manaj Brand is the embodiment of beauty and luxury in its most intelligent and presentable form.

Anna reflected on the atmosphere of the premiere: “It was an honor for me to attend the screening of Il Maestro. The Venice Film Festival creates a unique magic every year, and this evening gave me unforgettable memories that I will always treasure.”

In both appearances — in Rafalieva Couture and Manaj Brand — Anna Stukkert emphasized her unique vision of fashion as both an art form and a tool of cultural diplomacy. Her looks combined elegance, modernity, and humanitarian mission, becoming part of the grand dialogue of Venice — the world’s capital of cinema and style.

A glow that becomes your style. Thanks to Oliver Weber, the boundaries between fashion and jewelry are blurred, and jewelry becomes part of the outfit, complementing it and creating a special style: affordable luxury that can be adapted to a variety of occasions and tastes. Choose something that reflects you, from morning minimalism to evening glitter.
