It’s engagement season. July was peppered with a slate of celebrity engagements, from Paulina Porizkova and Jeff Greenstein to Venus Williams and Andrea Preti to Eliza Spencer and Channing Millerd, and the trend continues into August. The latest duo to announce they’ll be tying the knot is Talita von Fürstenberg and Rocco Brignone de Brabant.
Fans will know the American socialite is the granddaughter of the iconic fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg, best known for her woman-empowering wrap dress. Talita has been dating de Brabant, an Italian banker, for six years, and now they’re embarking on forever.

Talita surprised her 234,000 Instagram followers with the most romantic photo announcing the news. In the snap, she and her soon-to-be hubby go in for a kiss while gazing lovingly into each other eyes, all set in front of a stunning beach backdrop.
Talita looks chic in a dainty white slip dress with floral and lace details, along with beige sandals. She glammed up with rosy makeup and styled her blonde-highlighted locks down with a middle part.
Of course, there was one major detail: her massive diamond engagement ring. It didn’t matter that the photo was taken from afar, as the huge sparkler still sat front and center.
