From start to finish: All the best celebrity outfits at Venice Film Festival 2021

Currently in its 78th edition, the Venice Film Festival is the world’s oldest celebration of artistry and expression through cinematography. Every year, A-list celebrities descend upon the picturesque island of Lido in the Venetian Lagoon, where a selection of highly-anticipated films premiere at the historic Palazzo del Cinema.  

Cinematography might be the main purpose of the Venice Film Festival; with the most coveted award, the Golden Lion, presented to the best film screened at the festival. But where we see a gathering of high-profile stars, we also get to witness exciting looks from ready-to-wear to haute couture on some of the biggest names in Hollywood. 

In just the first week alone, a strong selection of show-stopping ensembles have already graced its red carpet. At the premiere of her sci-fi epic Dune directed by Denis Villeneuve,  Zendaya stunned in a custom wet-look nude dress by Balmain, which she paired with an emerald-set Bulgari necklace. Meanwhile, Pablo Larrain’s Spencer starring Kristen Stewart in the role of the people’s princess has set the scene a twitter with Oscar buzz for her stellar performance. The actress turned heads wearing a mint-green silk Chanel ensemble with lace detailing and a black bow around the waist. 

For now, here is a round-up of the best dressed celebrities at Venice Film Festival 2021. We’ll be adding to this list daily, so watch this space.
