If Venice Film Festival 2024 were a movie, it’d be a mash-up of The Devil Wears Prada and Ocean’s Eleven. I mean, a perfectly orchestrated heist of haute couture and drop-dead glam. Except, no one’s stealing jewels. Well, celebrities are just strutting them down the red carpet like they’ve got a personal vault of Harry Winston.
Celebs didn’t just show up to see films—they were the main characters of the event. From gowns that probably required their own entourage to suits sharper than a Tarantino script, everything was a masterclass. And let me tell you, this year Venice didn’t disappoint us. Buckle up, we’re about to take a look at the best looks from the Venetian runway!
Taylor Russell
Taylor Russell turned the Venice Film Festival into her own personal runway and honestly, she nailed it. For the premiere of The Room Next Door, she wore a custom white Alaïa two-piece that had everyone talking. I think that’s mostly because no one expected a bubble skirt to look this chic. Styled by Jahleel Weaver, Taylor paired her gown with mega Tiffany & Co. earrings.
Oh, and not to forget the diamond drop pendant elegantly draped down her back. Because, of course, she needed more sparkle! After slaying in Chanel Haute Couture on opening night, it’s safe to say Taylor wasn’t here just to watch films. In a nutshell, she was there to steal the spotlight.
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga doesn’t just attend red carpets; she owns them. At the Joker: Folie à Deux premiere, she brought the drama in a voluminous black Dior dress. She accessorized with a Philip Treacy hat that screamed, “I’m not just a pop star, I’m a fashion icon.” Speaking of icons, her Tiffany & Co. jewelry has blinded the paparazzi.
She went for a spiked platinum and 18k yellow gold necklace, matching earrings and bracelet. As a bonus accessory, she brought along her fiancé, Michael Polansky. Now, it’s confirmed Gaga doesn’t walk the carpet alone. When Lady Gaga shows up, she’s not just attending the Venice Film Festival; she’s giving it a headline act!
Stacy Martin
Stacy Martin took the ballgown to the Venice Film Festival and made it look effortless. Wearing Louis Vuitton by Nicolas Ghesquière, she proved that you can indeed channel a Grecian goddess. The gown’s modern color and low drop waist kept it fresh and far from fussy.
In true sense, it’s a feat only achievable with the magic of stylist Rebecca Corbin-Murray. Martin paired the dramatic draping with a LV collar necklace that could’ve been mistaken for ancient treasure. Stacy didn’t just walk the red carpet; she floated, creating an atmosphere of elegance that was anything but ordinary.
Sophie Wilde
For the Babygirl premiere at the Venice Film Festival, the Australian actor channeled serious drama with a dress from Loewe. Her black strapless gown was minimalist but the draped back and train detail was pure magic. Wilde’s look was like an enigma wrapped in a fashion statement.
Let’s not forget the Cartier jewelry! Because if you’re going to wear a mask, your accessories might as well sparkle enough to make up for it. It’s not every day you see beauty that shines both literally and metaphorically. Wilde proved that sometimes, a little mystery and a lot of glam can be a match made in heaven.
Ncuti Gatwa
Ncuti Gatwa made an entrance at the Venice Film Festival that could only be described as fashion-forward chic. Decked out in an all-black ensemble from Emporio Armani, he looked like he walked straight out of a noir film. Wide-leg pants, an asymmetrical vest and a floor-sweeping robe—it’s like the red carpet had its own stylish superhero.
Now let’s talk accessories—Messika’s statement ring and ear cuff turned Ncuti into a walking, talking billboard for high fashion. The man was all smiles, probably because he knew his diamond bling was doing most of the talking. Ncuti proved that even in basic black, you can stand out and steal the show.
Angelina Jolie
On the Maria red carpet, Angelina Jolie showed us that she’s not just a movie star; she’s a legend. Sporting a custom asymmetric chiffon gown by London-based designer Tamara Ralph, she made “timeless elegance” look like child’s play. The off-the-shoulder faux-fur stole added a touch of glamor, while her bold red lips turned heads.
But it was her Cartier Rose Ouvrante 1972 flower brooch that created a buzz. With a mechanism that lets the petals open and close, this bling performed its own magic trick. If that’s not movie star material, I don’t know what is! Jolie was not just in her film; she was owning the red carpet of the Venice Film Festival.
Monica Bellucci
Monica Bellucci turned the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice premiere at the Venice Film Festival into a high-glamor spectacle. Wearing a custom Vivienne Westwood gown, she exuded sophistication with a twist of mystery courtesy of her black-out sunglasses. However, the real showstopper was her oversized Cartier necklace.
Adorned with colorful stones, turquoise and ruby, Bellucci’s accessory was so dazzling it might have upstaged the film itself. If there’s a category for “Best Red Carpet Look,” Bellucci would have walked away with the award. In a sea of fashion statements, she made sure hers was the loudest.
Mariacarla Boscono
Mariacarla Boscono made a red carpet entrance that practically whispered, “I don’t do conventional.” Dressed in white with feather details, she was like a high-fashion phoenix rising from the ashes of traditional gala wear. The knee-high black boots were a bold choice, ensuring she wasn’t just another pretty face in a sea of sequins.
Then there was the Pomellato necklace, featuring a drop emerald pendant so dazzling it practically needed its own spotlight. In a world of sparkle overload, Mariacarla showed that a bit of edge and a standout jewel can reign supreme.
In the End
Venice Film Festival 2024 wasn’t just a celebration of cinema, it was a fashion feast with a side of sparkle. From oversized jewels to gowns that belonged in a museum, every celebrity made sure they left their sartorial stamp. It’s safe to say the red carpet was where the real show happened.
