Nadine Mirada, Katharina Reuschel, and others: how the 2025 Vienna Opera Ball unfolded

A detailed report

The most anticipated event of February—the annual Vienna Opera Ball—has taken place. As always, it gathered the most sophisticated guests, including Austrian and European politicians, business representatives, renowned figures from the arts and sports, as well as celebrities from around the world.

We previously reported that this year’s honorary guests included Heidi Klum’s daughter, model Leni Klum, supermodel Candice Swanepoel, Hollywood actor Ed Westwick, and other stars. Now, we turn our attention to Austrian celebrities who also shone at the event with their stunning looks.

One of the attendees was model Nadine Mirada, who graced the ball in a stylish sequined gown with a feathered train and sheer elements, designed by Georges Makaroun.

Publisher Ekaterina Mucha twirled in a waltz wearing a luxurious off-the-shoulder green gown by designer Erika Suess. She complemented her look with exquisite white gold jewelry adorned with diamonds and sapphires, provided for the evening by the Vienna auction house Amadeus.

ORF host Teresa Vogl posed for photographers in a floral dress by Eva Poleschinski.

Styrian designer Eva Poleschinski also dressed actress Larissa Marolt, who attended in a striking red gown with a train, made from Italian tulle.

ORF presenters Silvia Schneider and Lilian Klebow drew attention with their stunning golden dresses. Silvia Schneider, in fact, designed her own gown in collaboration with designer Lilia Semenova.

Viennese designer Katharina Reuschel presented a nearly vintage creation—she crafted her gown using 30 pairs of old jeans.

Host Amira Ali, who recently divorced Oliver Pocher, stepped onto the dance floor in a flowing golden ensemble. She paired her silk dress by designer Michelle Mason with a matching cape.

ORF presenter Leona König shone in a vintage stage dress once worn by Cher, which she purchased ten years ago.

Simone Lugner attended the ball for the first time without her late husband, Richard Lugner. For the occasion, she chose a royal blue gown by designer Martina Mohapp.

Meanwhile, presenter Sasa Schwarzjirg wore a trendy burgundy dress by designer Tamara Mascara, complementing it with luxurious diamond jewelry from Rozet & Fischmeister.
