It’s been a week since the 79th Venice Film Festival started and celebrities have descended on the red carpet in the Italian city sporting high-voltage looks — from Florence Pugh in dreamy Valentino to Gemma Chan in shimmering Louis Vuitton.
Then there’s Timothee Chalamet in a red hot backless number by Haider Ackermann that’s been making rounds on the Internet. Scroll down to see some of the best-dressed celebs on our list so far.
Don’t Worry Darling cast member Gemma Chan dazzled at the premiere of the show in a fully sequinned Louis Vuitton number that’s prettied up with pink floral appliques on the skirt.
Florence Pugh owned the red carpet in this sheer dreamy Valentino number that showcased lots of glitter. And legs.
Timothee Chalamet has a history of risk-taking red carpet fashion. And the 79th Venice Film Festival’s yet another sartorial playground for the 26-year-old actor who rocked up to the Bones And All red carpet in this red hot backless Haider Ackermann outfit.
The former One Direction heartthrob showed up at the prestigious event in a custom navy suit by Gucci, with exaggerated collars and wide lapels that bring a touch of 70s-inspired style.
His partner and Don’t Worry Darling director Olivia Wilde also showed up in Gucci, donning a hard-to-miss canary yellow gown with a ruffled hem, daring neckline and sparkling accents.
Serving as the festival’s jury president this year, Julianne Moore dialed up the glamour on opening night in this glittering see-through Valentino gown with a regal cape.
For the Tar premiere, she took the plunge in a velvet Giorgio Armani Couture sheath gown, accentuated with a Cartier diamond necklace that echoes her neckline.
Cate Blanchett brought a touch of whimsy with a velvet corset and low-waist pants by Schiaparelli, and a neckline blooming with colourful handpainted organza, leather and crepe paper flowers.
Giorgio Armani turned to its archives for this striking look on Tessa Thompson. The structured top with silvery appliques and sequin skirt are from the Armani Prive Autumn/Winter 2009 couture collection.
And for the Bardo premiere, she went for red-on-red drama in this hooded Elie Saab ensemble (and matching tights, pumps, and clutch) that gave major sci-fi vibes.
Keeping it sleek and minimalist, Simone Ashley also donned an archival piece from Giorgio Armani. The Bridgerton star’s red gown is from Armani Privé’s Spring/Summer 2013 couture collection.
On the red carpet of The Whale, Sadie Sink’s Alexander Mcqueen gown is equal parts glamorous, sexy and romantic with skin-baring cut-outs, intricate embellishments, and lots of ruffles.
Jodie Turner-Smith’s Venice wardrobe has been nothing short of spectacular, including this multi-coloured abstract crayon printed georgette and twill gown from Christopher John Rogers’s pre-fall 2022 runway.
And on the Bones And All red carpet, she showed how full-on denim can look ultra glam with this Balmain number, which she wore with diamond jewellery and matching blue eyeliner.
