While it may not involve the model onslaught that the Cannes International Film Festival frequently elicits (blame it on its proximity to the start of New York Fashion Week), the Venice International Film Festival still gets its fair share of runway beauties gracing the red carpet. And this year was no exception, especially since a film chronicling the life and career of Franca Sozzani, editor-in-chief of Italian Vogue, premiered, luring out some of fashion’s finest. The stars also delivered some high-wattage style moments with Emma Stone, Dakota Fanning and Amy Adams quite literally shining bright over in Italy. Much to our continued dismay, the sheer trend proved it still has legs and most of the fellas kept things pretty conventional in variations of the traditional tux. A couple relative red carpet newbies managed to turn heads over in Venice, too. On the off chance you didn’t have a front row seat for the festival’s various red carpets, we went ahead and compiled all the fashion highlights from this year’s edition in the slideshow above. Prego.
The festival is back in full force.
