Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana returned to a catwalk with a live audience in Venice this weekend to show its latest couture collection, but the audience was left scrambling when a heavy hailstorm occurred.

On Monday, 30 August, celebrity guests including Helen Mirren, Kourtney Kardashian and Doja Cat gathered at St Mark’s Square as the designers presented their latest Alta Sartoria collection.

As swathes of models walked down the lengthy runway dressed in brightly coloured sequin-embellished suits, embroidered capes and avant-garde dresses, the weather took a turn for the worse as hail began to dampen everyone in attendance.

One video, posted to Instagram by a fashion blogging account, @diet_prada, showed guests ducking for cover under umbrellas and jackets as the storm ensued.
