As the sun sets on another European summer, the silver screen’s brightest stars and boldest directors have made their way to the historic canals of Italy for the 2025 Venice Film Festival. The event, now in its 82nd year, sets the pace for the awards season ahead and has delivered some of the most unforgettable fashion moments in history—both on the red carpet and on Venice’s canals, as stars famously arrive at the event’s venues via water taxi. And this year’s edition, taking place from August 27 to September 6, is shaping up to be no different.
A jury led by American director Alexander Payne and featuring actors Fernanda Torres and Zhao Tao is tasked with doling out the festival’s top prize, the Golden Lion. Among the films slated to debut this year are Yorgos Lanthimos’s Bugonia, starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, After the Hunt with Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield, and Ayo Edebiri, and Jacob Elordi’s Frankenstein. Also slated to appear in Venice are Marc Jacobs and Sofia Coppola, Emily Blunt, Chloë Sevigny, and festival regulars like George Clooney and Cate Blanchett.
So, check back here as we keep track of all the glamorous red carpet fashion, dazzling jewelry, and enviable timepieces from the 2025 Venice Film Festival red carpet.
