Shailene Woodley joined the star-studded 2025 Venice Film Festival. The Big Little Lies actress turned heads in an ultra short, black silk mini dress by Kallmeyer as she attended the premiere of George Clooney's film, Jay Kelly. The actress wrote her long dark hair half up and accessorized the look with the striking Bvlgari Serpenti High Jewelry necklace. While Shailene isn't appearing in the film, she attended the premiere to support George, who famously played her on-screen father in the 2011 movie, The Descendants.
Shailene stunned at the film's premiere and ended up seeing a very talked about movie. Jay Kelly, directed by Noah Baumbach, is getting rave reviews and even earned a 10-minute standing ovation at the festival. Other stars at the premiere were Amal Clooney, Adam Sandler, Eve Hewson, Naomi Watts, and Billy Crudup. HELLO!'s TV Writer Abby Allen said of the film: "George is without a doubt one of Hollywood’s greatest actors, and with Laura Dern starring opposite him and Noah directing, this project is set to be a must-watch."
While the Venice Film Festival is known as a fashion event, Shailene really made a mark. But it's not a surprise. The 33-year-old is known for her many looks.
