Valentino is to become the 13th recipient of the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style award.

The induction ceremony will be held on the 2nd April on the famous Beverly Hills street, reports WWD.

There will be an outdoor exhibition themed in Valentino's signature red, as a tribute to the legendary fashion designer.

The date of the ceremony was specifically chosen to coincide with the premiere of Matt Tyrnauer's documentary, 'Valentino: The Last Emperor.'

Since his well publicised retirement, the designer has continued his globetrotting and making high profile public appearances, most notably showing up at the Academy Awards ceremony last month.
