From John Malkovich's ruff to Nina Dobrev's vintage Armani gown, there's a lot to unpack.
When it comes to star-studded film festivals, Cannes gets plenty of attention. But Venice certainly isn't short on star power — or unmissable red carpet fashion.
The festival is currently underway and drawing everyone from Hollywood heavyweights to A-list couples and serving plenty of memorable looks along the way.
Kendall Jenner arrived in an archival Armani gown; Robert Pattinson and partner Suki Waterhouse enjoyed a date night in contrasting yet complementary outfits; Brooklyn Beckham showed off a new look, and Phoebe Bridgers made a statement in a chic two-piece that showcased her leg hair.
Nina Dobrev, in town for Danny Boyle's drama Ink, barely had time to let her glittering Armani look have its moment as she was rushed off the red carpet in a since-viral encounter.
