The 2025 Venice Film Festival has barely kicked off and, already, it’s star-studded affair: the likes of Julia Roberts, Emma Stone, George Clooney, Cate Blanchett, and Colman Domingo are all set to grace the Lido over the next couple of weeks, and we’ve got our first reports on the fashions from the red carpets.
While focus will, of course, be on this season’s buzziest premieres—including Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt and Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein—all eyes will no doubt be on the show-stopping red-carpet style, too. After all, this is the festival that brought us Lady Gaga’s white feathered Valentino couture gown back in 2018, and Zendaya’s wet-look Balmain dress in 2021.
Before the festival had even kicked off, we spotted George and Amal Clooney, and Emma Stone arriving in the Italian city, as well as Greta Gerwig and Laura Dern in the most euro summery fits for the daytime press calls. Following the first set of premieres—including Clooney’s Jay Kelly and Stone’s Bugonia—the style bar was set high. In tandem, the DVF Awards also took place in Venice, with Kim Kardashian in a clingy, sweeping gray Margiela look and a rare appearance for Christy Turlington with her daughter Grace Burns.
We’ve also seen more archival and vintage looks via Frankenstein’s Mia Goth, custom chanel via After the Hunt’s Ayo Edebiri, and Jonathan Anderson’s first Dior Couture look on Alba Rohrwacher.
Below, see all the best looks from the 2025 Venice Film Festival, so far.
