This summer has been jam-packed with stellar red carpet events, so we don't blame you if you've lost track. There were feather boas and thigh-high boots at the MTV Video Music Awards, ethereal dresses during Margot Robbie's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood press circuit, and hundreds of crystals at The Lion King's L.A. premiere. But now, it's time to turn our attention to Italy for the 76th annual Venice Film Festival, which begins on August 28 and runs to September 7.
Eleven glorious days of a festival packed with A-listers can only mean one thing: We're about to witness a whole lot of stellar red carpet looks. This year's Cannes Film Festival certainly set the bar high, but we have no doubt that the Venice iteration will deliver as well. Last year's event in Venice saw the likes of Lady Gaga, Dakota Johnson, and Ryan Gosling walk the red carpet, so we have high expectations for 2019. Scroll down to see the very best Venice Film Festival red carpet looks, from Iman to Sofia Richie.
