The Venice Film Festival 2025 has begun, bringing with it a major spike in hair creativity. The fest is just beginning, but already several head-turning hairstyles have been spotted on the red carpet, drawing attention with their originality and detail.
Between long beach waves that nostalgically recall the soon-to-end summer and evergreen sophisticated crops, red carpet hair is getting a creative twist. Undoubtedly, in the crosshairs, Rose Villain‘s two-tone mohawk hair took the headline for the trend on opening night, and Barbara Palvin‘s disheveled braid studded with pearls rewarded close inspection. At first glance it looked like a cascade of curly waves, but was much more complex in reality. Paola Turani sported a two-in-one crop, Shannon Murphy opted for a high-volume chignon, and more stars locked in their place in the creative hair conversation. Take a closer look below at the most creative hairstyles of the 2025 Venice Film Festival.
Rose Villain’s mohawk
Rose Villain’s hairstyle certainly did not go unnoticed Wednesday, as she recreated the typical mohawk style in her hair by knotting her lengths, section by section, over her head. She gave it a pop of color with a two-tone treatment, sporting light blue tips offset by a dark base. Talk about being on the crest of the wave.
Barbara Palvin’s disheveled braid
At first glance, they look like classic beach waves, except when you look closer, you discover that the model decided to style the ends of her lengths in a mini disheveled braid, with a relaxed, almost ruffled look. The result was a creative hairstyle complete with pearls applied here and there to give the whole thing a romantic touch.
Paola Turani’s mix
Paola Turani went all out for a two-in-one style, mixing a “Croydon facelift”—that is, a pulled-back hairstyle capable of lifting the eyes—and a sleek bun divided in two with a sharp center part for perfect symmetry. It all exploded into a cloud of curls that falling softly on the top of her head.
