All the Best Dressed at Venice Film Festival 2025

Venice is once again a city of stories as the 82nd Venice Film Festival takes over the Lido. Running until 6 September, the annual festival brings together cinematic heavyweights such as Frankenstein, Bugonia, After The Hunt and La Grazia under the direction of jury president Alexander Payne. Beyond the reels, the red carpet has become theatre in its own right, where A-list actors craft moments as artfully composed as the films inside. 

The Clooneys drew the spotlight at the Jay Kelly premiere—George in Giorgio Armani tailoring, Amal radiant in a vintage fuchsia Jean-Louis Scherrer gown. From Chanel, Tilda Swinton offered crisp contrast in white silk crepe and black mikado, while Ayo Edebiri electrified the carpet in a strapless red gown.

Meanwhile, the Frankenstein premiere brought its own share of high-style moments. Mia Goth stood out in a brown Dior dress, while Gemma Chan gleamed in a liquid metallic asymmetrical gown by Giorgio Armani. Menswear highlights included Jacob Elordi in a Bottega Veneta grain de poudre suit and Oscar Isaac in a white Celine jacket accented with black lapels.

Style notes carried into the weekend at the premiere of Father Mother Sister Brother, as Indya Moore opted for a floor-length patterned Saint Laurent dress, and Cate Blanchett impressed in a black bodice set against a sweeping feather skirt, courtesy of Maison Margiela.
