Dwayne Johnson at the 2023 Grammy Awards
The Rock has been a big fan of Dolce & Gabbana ever since the duo’s first collection launched in 1985. Their brand identity has a universal resonation with people across all walks of life because it represents the importance of family, the impact of home, and the pursuit of one’s dream.

This sense of femininity has made the brand an icon for many iconic icons, including Madonna, the first woman to wear Dolce & Gabbana’s “girlie show” collection in 1987. When Madonna was honored for her achievement in music, the designers gave her a series of dresses they designed. It was this moment that helped to solidify Dolce & Gabbana’s place in the fashion industry. As for Dwayne Johnson, he was the star of the night at the 2023 Grammy Awards when he took the stage to present an award to Adele.
