Italian‑French model and actress Deva Cassel graces the December 27, 2025 cover of Io Donna del Corriere in a striking fashion editorial that’s both sculptural and introspective. Shot against the serene backdrop of textured stone columns, Cassel wears Dior couture — a crisp white blouse with sharp black piping paired with a layered black skirt — elevated further by sculptural Cartier jewelry that brings an artful edge to the visuals
Deva Cassel wore Dior and Cartier while posing for Io Donna’s December 2025 editorial, blending high fashion with introspective storytelling.
What makes this editorial stand out isn’t just the flawless fashion — it’s Deva’s quiet, confident presence. Her style leans toward practical elegance: comfortable heels and designs that celebrate movement and ease over dramatics, suggesting a woman confident in her body and her paceut ordered, womanly yet stable. The selection of her comfortable heels and clean lines is also indicative of a personal style of choice that is more oriented towards movement and ease of wear rather than the dramatic. However it is not only the fashion, but the woman behind this shoot that makes it so deep. Cassel is candidly philosophical on the experience of growing up between continents and never really establishing roots, and learning to be stable in motion. Her affair with Saul Nanni who was born on the set of Il Gattopardo is said to be romantic and radiant though based on the principle of independence between them. She is not pursuing any role but she is creating her career a bit at a time, with the kind of projects that resonate with her intuition. Her considerations of beauty are also uncouth: it is not an art of being perfect, she mentions, but of being kind, wise, present.
But beyond the outfit lies a deeper story. Cassel reflects openly on the experience of growing up across continents — from her birthplace of Rome to Paris, Rio de Janeiro, London, and Portugal — and how a life in constant motion shaped her sense of identity. “I’ve always felt like a citizen of the world,” she says, discovering that movement itself became her form of stability.
Despite the glamour, Cassel’s world isn’t all runway lights and glossy spreads. She’s also building a serious acting career. After her debut in the Italian drama The Beautiful Summer in 2023, she went on to star as Angelica Sedara in Netflix’s The Leopard — a role that also brought her closer to fellow actor Saul Nanni, her partner for over two years
Deva’s approach to work — and beauty — is refreshingly grounded. She explains that beauty isn’t about perfection, but about being kind, wise, and present. Growing up with icons like her mother Monica Bellucci and father Vincent Cassel might have set the stage, but she’s determined to craft her own career step by step, choosing projects that resonate with her instincts rather than simply follow legacy
