What they’re wearing on the Venice Film Festival 2019 red carpet

It’s that time of year again when A-list celebrities descend on Venice for the annual Venice International Film Festival. 

This year, the 76th edition of the event, looks set to be one of the best editions to date with a slate of highly-anticipated films premiering with big-name stars attached. And, let’s not forget that the films shown at the festival are often those that become contenders for Oscars at the Academy Awards ceremony the following year.

With films like (or, as it is also titled) starring legendary actresses Catherine Deneuve and Juliette Binoche opening the festival and starring Timothée Chalamet along with Robert Pattinson, Lily-Rose Depp and Joel Edgerton also being shown during the festival, expectations are not only high for what is being screened but also for a dazzling red carpet.

And this year the festival — which is the oldest film festival in the world and certainly one of the most glamorous — is being held from August 28 until September 7, providing days of red carpet glitz and glamour to enjoy.

Since the festival was founded in 1932, there have been so many major red carpet moments, from head-turning arrivals on boats by way of Venice’s famous waterways — Lady Gaga made a captivating entrance at the 2018 Venice Film Festival by that mode of transport for her film to the show-stopping gowns that have been worn by Hollywood’s leading lights during the festival (Natalie Portman in exquisite red Rodarte at the premiere at the 2010 festival is just one example that immediately springs to mind).

This year the festival looks set to once again deliver memorable red carpet moments. Scroll on to see what all the stars from Iman to Elsa Hosk (above) and Barbara Palvin are wearing on the 2019 Venice Film Festival red carpet.
