Bianca Balti put on a dazzling display as she attended the 2025 Sanremo Music Festival in Italy on Wednesday amid her cancer battle.

The Italian supermodel, 40, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer last year, wore four stunning sequinned ensembles as she took to the stage at Teatro Ariston.

For one striking look, Bianca made sure to turn heads in a silver halter-neck gown with beaded detailing and a racy keyhole cutout.

She swept a faux-fur shawl over one shoulder as she brought the Hollywood glamour to the four-day television song contest, which she is co-hosting with Carlo Conti.

She then slipped into another glamorous ensemble as she made sure all eyes were on her in a shimmering black sequinned gown with a daringly low neckline.

Bianca let her outfit do all the talking as she simply accessorised with a silver choker necklace and a pair of silver droplet earrings.

In a third striking look, Bianca put on a very elegant display in a plunging sky blue gown, which featured sparkling silver straps and feathered skirt detailing. 

A dramatic feathered train billowed out behind her as she walked down the staircase on stage, while she completed her look with a pair of sheer black gloves.

For her final outfit, Bianca pulled out all the stops as she stepped out in a sheer ɴuᴅᴇ halter-neck gown completely covered in sparkling jewels.

She joined her dapper co-host Carlo on stage as well as fellow presenter, Italian singer Cristiano Malgioglio.

Bianca appeared to be in good spirits as she flashed a huge smile and laughed with her co-stars, also enjoying a dance with Cristiano on stage.

Her hosting duties come just weeks after Bianca completed her chemotherapy treatment on January 27 amid her ovarian cancer battle.

After losing her aunt to breast cancer, Bianca was told she carries the BRCA1 gene in 2021 and underwent a preventative double mastectomy. Mutations in the BRCA1 gene can increase the risk of developing breast cancer.

Along with the discovery of being a carrier, Bianca learned that she had a 50 per cent chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer and a 30 per cent chance of being diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

In September 2024, Bianca was then diagnosed with ovarian cancer and said it felt like a ‘death sentence’, but now says she feels ‘as alive as ever’.

She admitted her cancer journey ‘isn’t quite over yet’ as she shared a health update in a touching Instagram post to mark World Cancer Day on February 4.

She wrote: ‘February 4th. World Cancer Day. It has always been just a random day that some posts on Instagram reminded me of.

‘Although my aunt died of metastatic breast cancer at age 39 and my mom got myeloma a couple of years ago.

‘And despite my own diagnosis, back in 2021, of carrying the BRCA1 gene for which, in December 2022, I underwent a preventative double mastectomy.

‘Cancer couldn’t inhabit my thoughts, let alone my body.

‘Until September 8th of 2024, the day that Cancer, Ovarian to be specific, came into my life feeling a whole lot like a death sentence.

‘On October 14th, I started my chemotherapy journey that just ended last Monday, January 27th, but to my great surprise, those last few months, I felt as alive as ever.

‘I was not taking my life for granted anymore, and my graтιтude hit an all-time peak. Everything started to taste like a real blessing.

‘It has been hard, and it isn’t quite over yet, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

‘They say, ”What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” but my experience is that what didn’t kill me made me love life a lot more.’

In September, Bianca revealed she had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer after checking herself into the hospital over excruciating ‘abdominal pain’.

She announced her devastating diagnosis in an Instagram post on September 15, in which she admitted it had been a week ‘full of fear, pain and tears’.

The mother-of-two revealed that upon checking into the emergency room she discovered she had stage 3C ovarian cancer, which meant that the disease had spread to the outside of the pelvis.

Still smiling in a hospital gown, she insisted that she was remaining positive and was sure she was going to ‘beat’ cancer.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model said her diagnosis, which has a five-year survival rate of 39 per cent, had helped her find the ‘beauty through life’s hurdles’.

According to Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance, stage 3C ovarian cancer means that the disease is present in one or both fallopian tubes and has spread to the organs outside of the pelvic region.

Treatment for this aggressive form of cancer includes surgery and chemotherapy.
