The 82nd Venice International Film Festival has officially opened its doors, transforming the Lido into a glittering stage where cinema and couture come together. From August 27 to September 6, the annual celebration promises not only the unveiling of some of the year’s most anticipated films but also one of the most captivating red carpets in the fashion calendar. Throughout its many decades of existence, Venice has remained a global arena where creatives converge to celebrate the incredible productions as they await global release.
Organised by La Biennale di Venezia, this year’s programme is rich with premieres, from Paolo Sorrentino’s La Grazia to forthcoming debuts from Noah Baumbach, Yorgos Lanthimos, Luca Guadagnino, Guillermo del Toro, and Sofia Coppola.
Yet, before the lights dim in the theatres, all eyes are on the arrivals.
Venice red carpet fashion is a language of its own—timeless, theatrical, often daring. From Cate Blanchett in a shimmering archival Armani Privé gown to Emma Stone in an architecturally striking custom Louis Vuitton gown, ahead, we round up the most memorable looks to grace the festival’s opening nights.
