20 Most Memorable Images of the 2025 Venice Film Festival (21 photos)

The 82nd Venice Film Festival opened on August 27. Hollywood stars sailed through the canals and arrived in their finest at the premieres of the most anticipated films of the year. Among the films presented were Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, Kathryn Bigelow's House of Dynamite, Yorgos Lanthimos' Bugonia, and Noah Baumbach's Jay Kelly. The dress code remains simple and elegant, and here is a list of celebrities whose outfits on the Lido were the most striking.





1. Cate Blanchett



Kate appeared in a black dress by Armani Privé, which she previously wore to the Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2022. The mermaid silhouette, deep neckline, large stones - the actress looked flawless. She attended the premiere of Grace, a new drama by Italian director Paolo Sorrentino. The film tells the story of the last days of a fictional Italian president.

2. Tilda Swinton





Tilda showed off a black and white look from Chanel. Elle claims that the outfit presented is a chance to see the debut of the fashion house's new artistic director, Mathieu Blasi.

The British actress gained the status of a Chanel star after being invited by Karl Lagerfeld to appear in the Paris-Edinburgh collection advertising campaign.

3. Amal and George Clooney



On August 28, the Hollywood couple sparkled at the premiere of the film "Jay Kelly". Amal amazed everyone with her luxurious outfit. She chose a fuchsia dress from Jean-Louis Scherrer with a spectacular train. The look was completed with high-heeled shoes from Aquazzura and a gold clutch.

The Oscar-winning actor looked sharp in a classic black tuxedo with a white button-down shirt and black bow tie.

In Jay Kelly, which premieres on Netflix on December 5, Clooney plays a celebrated actor who embarks on a whirlwind trip to Europe with his manager, played by Adam Sandler.

5. Jesse Plemons



Jesse chose a classic suit for the premiere of the film "Bugonia", in which he played a conspiracy theorist. The film by Yorgos Lanthimos received a 6-minute standing ovation at the film festival.

"Plemons is a new level in this genre. "It's a fantastic show, full of madness, but also grounded in humanity," Deadline's Pete Hammond said.

6. Naomi Watts



Naomi wore a sophisticated beige Valentino gown, embellished with sparkling floral appliqués and a black bow at the waist.

The actress joined husband Billy Crudup at the premiere of his work in "J. Kelly." The Netflix film also stars George Clooney, Adam Sandler, Laura Dern, Eve Hewson, Grace Edwards, Stacy Keach, Riley Keough, Isla Fisher, Patrick Wilson, and Greta Gerwig.

11. Laura Dern



Laura hit the red carpet in an Armani Privé gown with a black bodice that flowed into a green skirt. A cape reminiscent of barbed wire completed the look.
