The 2025 Venice Film Festival (82nd Edition) has officially set sail, and with it comes one of the most highly anticipated style showcases of the year. Unlike any other red carpet, Venice offers a backdrop that is both cinematic and historic; arrivals by boat across glistening canals, sweeping staircases leading into grand theaters, and a runway framed by the romantic Venetian skyline.
The Venice Film Festival is where cinema’s brightest stars, acclaimed directors, and cultural icons merge fashion with artistry, making every step a statement.
This year, the red carpet was nothing short of a spectacle. Cate Blanchett reminded us why she is Hollywood’s reigning queen of sustainable glamour by rewearing an Armani Privé gown with even more confidence than when she first debuted it.
Amal Clooney redefined vintage chic in a bold fuchsia mini-dress straight from the 1990s. Meanwhile, Emma Stone showcased modern style in a Louis Vuitton mini, fusing youthful edge with timeless grace, and Tilda Swinton delivered her signature avant-garde whimsy in custom Chanel.
The Venice Film Festival has always been a playground for fashion experimentation, where daring statements, subtle nods to history, and unforgettable couture moments collide. From mother-daughter duos like Heidi and Leni Klum making headlines in sultry corseted gowns to surprising transformations like Adam Sandler’s formal tuxedo debut, the festival proved once again that its red carpet is as much a star as the films being premiered.
Ahead, we take you through all the best red carpet looks from the 2025 Venice Film Festival
