The 79th Venice International Film Festival is upon us and even as it only just begins, we've already seen a host of stunning looks emerging from the canals of the Italian city. 

Venice is traditionally steeped in glamour, matching Cannes Film Festival in its ability to attract a galaxy of stars - all dressed to the nines of course - for the occasion. Organised by La Biennale di Venezia and directed by Alberto Barbera, this year’s festival will take place at the Venice Lido from 31 August to 10 September 2022.

What is the Venice Film Festival?

The aim of the Festival is to raise awareness and promote international cinema in all its forms as art, entertainment and as an industry, in a spirit of freedom and dialogue. The Festival also organises retrospectives and tributes to major figures as a contribution towards a better understanding of the history of cinema.

Here are some of the best looks so far:

Alessandra Ambrosio
