Clear your calendars, disco dreamers: Studio 54 is coming back. Yes, the Studio 54—the glitter-soaked New York nightclub where Diana Ross, Cher, Bianca Jagger on a white horse, Andy Warhol, and Grace Jones once reigned—is being resurrected by Valentino Beauty. The occasion? The launch of its 2025 Rendez-Vous Ivory Collection, and, true to form, it’s going to be big, bold, and drenched in glamour.
The collection itself is as decadent as the disco era it’s celebrating. Headlining is Born in Roma Donna Rendez-Vous Ivory Eau de Parfum (£160 for 100ml / £119 for 50ml), a scent that sounds like dessert in a bottle: orange blossom, marshmallow accord, Madagascan vanilla, and white musk. It’s part perfume, part sweet tooth, and all unapologetically lush.
Not to be left out, the guys get their own remix: Born in Roma Uomo Rendez-Vous Ivory, a warm, woody-ambery fragrance lifted with sparkling bergamot and lavandin. Both bottles come dressed in striking ivory with gold accents—think disco-ball glamour translated into perfume vessels.
But Valentino Beauty didn’t stop at fragrances. The collection also introduces the Spike Ivory Lipsticks (£39 each), infused with the brand’s Roma Light Complex for that signature luminous matte finish. The shades are unapologetically glam:
Rose Rêverie – a warm toffee pink
Berry Murmur – a terrazzo red with attitude
Sunrise Glimmer – a rose-gold topper that screams Studio 54 spotlight.
And because Valentino doesn’t do quiet launches, the brand is hosting an exclusive party at Studio 54 on 10 September. Expect beauty editors, fashion insiders, cultural tastemakers, Friends of the House, and maybe even some of the original disco legends, all gathered under the glittering lights for a night that promises sequins, sparkle, and serious nostalgia.
To capture the mood, the campaign was shot by acclaimed photographer Carlijn Jacobs, starring Valentino’s Born in Roma ambassador Adut Akech, who brings the same electric energy that once defined the legendary club.
For UK beauty lovers: the Rendez-Vous Ivory Collection lands exclusively at Selfridges on Wednesday, 3 September. Get ready—this isn’t just a fragrance launch, it’s a full-on disco revival.
