From 28 August to 7 September 2024, the Palazzo del Cinema on the Lido di Venezia will play host to a flurry of glamour as stars descend on the coastal Italian city for the annual Venice International Film Festival. The 81st edition is shaping up to be one of the most starry yet, with the programme slated with twisted psychological thrillers, biopics, erotic dramas and book-to-movie adaptations set to enthral any cinephile.
But as those keeping up with the movements of the celebrity set would know, impeccable fashion moments aren’t just reserved for the short stretch lining the historical 1930s movie theatre. Indeed, the very nature of Venice—its lagoons, grand canals, stilted architecture and noble design—lends itself to a never-ending display of style. Though nothing could rival the glamour and opulence of the red carpet, there’s a lot to be said about the off-duty moments; the walk from Marco Polo airport to their water taxi, arrivals on suave speed boats as stars cross the Santa Maria della Salute on their way to their premieres, gondola rides to dinner at ritzy restaurants for Cicchetti and Aperol Spritz.
Ahead of the official opening of the schedule, A-listers have already started to arrive and set off the procession of fashion to come. From Angelina Jolie flexing her Christian Dior travel ensemble to Jenna Ortega channelling Wednesday Addams in a preppy gothic-inspired set, keep scrolling ahead for the best street style moments during the 2024 Venice International Film Festival.
