1. The Unprecedented Luxury Brand Powerhouse: Dior, Cartier, and Dolce & Gabbana
Deva Cassel’s modeling career is characterized by an almost exclusive partnership with the elite tier of luxury fashion—a feat few models, let alone celebrity daughters, achieve so early. Her relationship with the industry began with a historical tie to the brand most associated with her mother: Dolce & Gabbana.
She first became the face of a D&G fragrance, Dolce Shine, at the tender age of 15, later promoting the Dolce Rose scent. This early start solidified her status as a muse for the Italian house, often attending major events and walking in their runway shows. However, in 2025, Deva has expanded her portfolio dramatically, cementing her status as a global ambassador for two other behemoths.
This year, she has been the radiant face of the Dior Makeup Summer 2025 campaign, showcasing the new Dioriviera collection. Her striking features and classic beauty also led her to star in the Dior Makeup Holiday 2025 campaign, bringing a theatrical, circus-inspired aesthetic to the festive line. Beyond makeup, she has also been announced as an ambassador for the legendary jewelry house Cartier, a true sign of her high-fashion credibility and long-term industry value.
2. The Major Acting Shift: From Indie Debut to Netflix's 'The Leopard'
While her modeling career is thriving, Deva Cassel is determined to prove her acting chops, following the path of both her parents. Her cinematic debut came in 2023 with the Italian indie drama The Beautiful Summer (La Bella Estate), directed by Laura Luchetti and based on the novel by Cesare Pavese.
The real game-changer, however, is her upcoming role in the Netflix limited series adaptation of Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s classic novel, The Leopard (Il Gattopardo).
Deva is set to play the role of Angelica Sedàra, a character famously portrayed by the iconic Claudia Cardinale in Luchino Visconti's 1963 film adaptation. This is a monumental and high-pressure role, placing her directly in the lineage of Italian cinematic royalty. Her commitment to this project, which is currently filming in Rome, signifies a serious pivot toward her acting career and a willingness to take on challenging, high-profile parts.
3. The 'It-Couple' Status: Her Relationship with Co-Star Saul Nanni
Deva Cassel’s personal life has also generated significant media attention, particularly her relationship with Italian actor Saul Nanni. The couple made their relationship official last fall and have since become one of the most talked-about young couples in European entertainment.
Saul Nanni, known for roles in *Sotto il sole di Riccione* and *Love & Gelato*, is also a co-star in the highly anticipated Netflix series The Leopard. Their professional and personal lives are now intertwined, a dynamic that only amplifies the buzz surrounding the series. The couple has been seen together at major fashion and film events, including the opening of Cartier events, further solidifying their status as a glamorous 'It-Couple' of the next generation.
4. Redefining the Runway: Walking for Coperni, Jacquemus, and More
Beyond her major campaigns, Deva Cassel has been a consistent presence on the international runways, demonstrating versatility that goes beyond the classic Italian beauty standard she inherited. She has walked for a diverse range of high-fashion and avant-garde houses, proving she is more than just a face for fragrance.
Her runway credits include shows for the experimental French brand Coperni, the sun-drenched, minimalist aesthetic of Jacquemus, the sleek lines of Courrèges, and the feminine designs of Alberta Ferretti. This wide-ranging portfolio shows an industry-wide acceptance that transcends her famous last name, positioning her as a genuine fashion model with a strong editorial and commercial appeal.
5. The Vogue and Harper's Bazaar Cover Dominance in 2025
A true measure of a model's influence is their presence on the covers of major fashion publications, and Deva Cassel has been a cover star powerhouse throughout 2025. She has graced numerous international editions, often serving as a focal point for the intersection of film and fashion.
Most recently, she was featured on the cover of Harper's Bazaar Spain’s November 2025 issue, captured by Pablo Saez in a striking Dior editorial. Earlier in the year, she appeared in Madame Figaro’s March 2025 issue, photographed by Branislav Simoncik. These high-profile features, alongside her earlier cover of Vogue Italia with her mother, Monica Bellucci, confirm that Deva Cassel is not just a passing trend but a definitive fixture in the 2025 fashion landscape. She is proving that while her mother opened the door, she is the one setting the new agenda.
