The Dreamiest Red Carpet Looks From the Venice Film Festival

With the Met Gala and the Oscars behind us, you might have thought red carpet season was over. But allow us to turn your attention to one spectacularly stylish event that promises to end summer with a bang: the Venice Film Festival. A-list actresses have busted out their best couture looks (see: Naomi Watts in Giorgio Armani Privé and Claire Foy in Valentino Haute Couture). Of course, models also turned out in full force for night one of the festival. Victoria's Secret Angel Sara Sampaio stunned in a bow-bedecked Giorgio Armani Privé number, while Izabel Goulart was picture-perfect in a swirly silver gown. Scroll down to see the best red carpet looks from the Venice Film Festival so far.

She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports.
