There’s so much more to the Venice Film Festival 2025 than the movies. Yes, the Venice Film Festival, which officially opens on Wednesday, August 27, will see the premieres of Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly and Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, among other titles sure to top the box office and awards ballots this year, but it will also see fantastic style.
The A-list will be in Venice to support their starry premieres, with the fashion to match. You’ve seen George Clooney wear a custom suit, but in Venice, he will wear a custom suit while arriving on a boat. All film festivals have their distinct styles of dress: Across the pond, VIPs at the high-altitude Telluride Film Festival will be digging out their outdoors gear and sunglasses to glad-hand, and the Toronto International Film Festival later this month will have its own site-specific microtrends, but the fashion at Venice is traditionally all about the drama.
Ahead, take a leisurely scroll through all the looks at this year’s Venice Film Festival to see who made a splash with their ensembles. For more from the Venice Film Festival 2025, follow our live blog here.
