Oh how we adore the Venice Film Festival. After Awards season way back in February, we have the glorious Cannes Film Festival in May, but then we experience a drought of glamour in the intermittent months before the famous Italian festival sails into view at the end of August to quench our thirst.
While the acting accolades and directing gongs are being celebrated, there are also some incredible fashion moments to behold plus a stunning array of beauty looks that will give us lots of inspiration for the season ahead. We've been trawling through the incredible images to make a top tier gallery for you of all the best beauty looks.

1/26
Rooney Mara
There is always something so satisfying about a braided patten on the red carpet. We love the Nightmare Alley actresses slicked back braided bun look.
2/26
Sabrina Elba
Sabrina Elba was a vision at Venice Film Festival. From her short crop with a feathered fringe to soft glowy makeup - this is the epitome of the perfect red carpet look.
3/26
Greta Lee
Actress Greta Lee looked sensational in custom Christian Dior teamed with a relaxed tousled wave, barely there liner and lashings of pinky blush.
4/26
Jason Momoa
On Wednesday's we wear pink! Jason Momoa embracing Barbie-core was not on our bingo card for the Venice Film Festival. The Aquaman actor showed off his suit and matching pink manicure and pedicure for his starring moment.
5/26
Amanda Seyfried
Mean Girls star Amanda Seyfried gave us serious hair envy with the perfect beachy wave, tucked into a collar for back-to-school September energy.
6/26
Alisha Boe
All hail the return of the headscarf! Worn with aplomb by Norwegian actress Alisha Boe, teamed with very Venice appropriate white sunglasses and a plummy pout.
7/26
Halsey
Singer Halsey's raven choppy bowl cut stands out amongst the long flowing locks on the red carpet. In case you missed the memo, short hair and bobs are so back in for autumn 2025.
8/26
Emily Blunt
We love a bold lipstick look. Emily Blunt steered away from classic Hollywood red, instead opting for a bright fuchsia pink pop of colour.
9/26
Amanda Seyfried
Amanda Seyfried's slicked back princess bun lives in our minds rent free. This sleek hair moment is so cool and perfectly matches the vibe of her whimsical dress and red bows.
10/26
Rosie Huntington-Whitley
Rosie Huntington-Whitley is a vision with a soft-glam look that is simply to die for. From her fluffy brows to nude matte lip - we are obsessed. Who could forget her hair? Her blonde softly curled locks cascading amongst her feather boa was simply a dream.
11/26
Julia Roberts
We absolutely adore Julia Roberts beauty look here. We love how she wears her fiery red locks with a slight wavy effortless finish. To contrast, she paired her bold hair with a muted pink-toned lip.
12/26
Georgina Rodriguez
Cristiano Ronaldo's wife-to-be let her manicure do the talking on the Venice Film Festival red carpet. She opted for a french manicure with a diffused ombre twist. This is the manicure of the moment, especially amongst celebrities set to walk down the aisle.
13/26
Lady Eliza Spencer and Lady Amelia Spencer
Lady Eliza Spencer and Lady Amelia Spencer brought effortless soft glam to the Venice Film Festival red carpet. From a flush of pink blush, to softly chiseled cheekbones and glowing skin which is synonymous with this technique.
14/26
Paris Jackson
Paris Jackson proved that sometimes an undone look can still look chic. We are here for the effortless bun with windswept tendrils.
15/26
Ayo Edebiri
With Ayo Edebiri's Venice Film Festival beauty moment - it was all about the blush. In case you missed the memo, blush is the main focus of makeup these days. Ayo kept most of her look quite minimal but added a bright pink wash of colour on her cheeks to elevate the look.
16/26
Greta Gerwig
We can always rely on Greta Gerwig to give us some much-needed hair inspiration. The Barbie director slicked back her signature short blonde bob for an ultra-sleek look.
17/26
Cate Blanchett
Australian actress Cate Blanchett elevated her blonde bob with a wavy twist. She styled her usual sleek bob with a boho edge letting the volume do all the talking.
18/26
Shailene Woodley
We are a huge fan of Shailene's raven-hair moment - the perfect inspo as we head to autumn/winter. Her half-up half down princess hair looked so stunning and whimsical on the red carpet along with her jewelry.
19/26
Emma Stone
Well, if you could bottle radiance, we think it would look exactly like Emma Stone at the Bugonia photocall at this year's festival. Please Emma, we beg you, tell us your secret to skin this glowing. And that pixie cut? Sublime.
20/26
Laura Dern
In case you were in any doubt that fringes with a 70s spin are in, please behold acting legend Laura Dern's bright, bouncy bangs.
21/26
Riley Keough
At the Jay Kelly photocall, we were fawning over Elvis Presley's granddaughter's perfectly slicked back locks and barely there mascara.
22/26
Barbara Palvin
On first glance, it looks like ex Victoria's Secret model Barbara has elegantly waved hair, but it's actually a very loose, very mermaid-inspired plait, peppered with tiny pearls throughout. We will be copying this immediately.
23/26
Cate Blanchett
Australian acting legend Cate Blanchett never fails to look anything other than pitch perfect on the red carpet. The gentle waves in the hair? Sublime. The fluttery lashes? Gorgeous. The soft matte pout? Perfection.
24/26
Heidi Klum
Supermodel Heidi Klum opted for a tousled wave, a slightly softer touch than the classic Hollywood bombshell blow-out and the perfect compliment to her Grecian inspired corset-dress. Top marks for the fringe Heidi.
25/26
Beatrice Valli
We've seen many an iteration of the 'slick back' this year, and are fondly dubbing this look - the 'slick back's' red carpet worthy cousin - the 'slick down.' The perfect compliment to the lashings of blush sported by Beatrice here.
26/26
Rose Villain
Oh how we love it when someone does something unexpected on the red carpet. Italian singer Rose Villain wore her signature blue locks in an intricate updo, teamed with a super subtle eyeliner flick and perfectly groomed brows.
