Marina Ruy Barbosa, Matt Smith and Sophie Charlotte were among the highlights at Camarote Alma Rio, the hottest spot at Rio’s Marquês de Sapucaí in 2026.
Fashion, music and celebrities on the avenue
From February 13 to 17, Camarote Alma Rio established itself as the most sophisticated gathering point at Marquês de Sapucaí. A carefully curated soundtrack blending electronic music and Brazilian soul set the tone for a vibrant, high-energy atmosphere that drew both local and international celebrities.
In addition to Marina Ruy Barbosa — the camarote’s official ambassador — the space welcomed Matt Smith, Sophie Charlotte, Camila Coutinho, Francisco Gil, Rodrigo Simas and Agatha Moreira. Each guest arrived in looks that embodied the fashion-forward spirit of Rio Carnival.
