The Most Dazzling Red Carpet Looks From the Venice Film Festival

The Venice Film Festival is nothing if not glamorous. Italy's most prestigious red carpet event never fails to deliver in the fashion department with high-profile attendees wearing a smattering of luxury brands. Running from August 28 to September 7, the 2024 edition is chock-full of exciting movie premieres, including Beetlejuice Beetlejuice starring Jenna Ortega and Winona Ryder, Maria led by Angelina Jolie, and Joker: Folie à Deux headlined by Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix.
This year's festival has only just begun, but we've already been treated to a slew of standout red carpet looks. Taylor Russell, for instance, dug into the Chanel archives and wore a show-stopping white dress from the house's S/S 93 collection. Meanwhile, Cate Blanchett donned an Armani Privé dress with Louis Vuitton jewelry. Scroll down to see my best-dressed list from the 2024 Venice Film Festival.
