The Most Glamorous Red Carpet Looks From the Venice Film Festival

The term "red carpet season" is beginning to seem like a misnomer. The reality is that the red carpet schedule is positively packed year-round, including the Oscars in March, the Met Gala and Cannes Film Festival in May, and the Venice Film Festival in August. (Oh, and don't forget the upcoming VMAs on September 12!)
The Venice Film Festival just kicked off yesterday but has already blessed us with some majorly stylish red carpet looks. With the SAG strike keeping some actors and actresses away, models such as Bianca Balti and Anja Rubik are holding down the fort in spectacular fashion. Scroll down to see the most glamorous looks from the 2023 Venice Film Festival and keep checking back, as the event continues until September 9.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) 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. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
