The Venice Film Festival, a spectacle of star power and countless red carpets, wouldn’t be complete without the dazzling allure of high-end jewellery. This year, the festival marks a potent return to form after the subdued tone of the 2023 edition, which was impacted by the SAG-AFTRA strike. The 81st edition of the Biennale kicked off on August 28th, and the red carpet has already been ablaze with fabulous looks.
Monica Bellucci made a stunning entrance, debuting a brand-new Cartier high jewellery necklace from the Nature Sauvage collection. Angelina Jolie’s comeback was equally impactful, with her red carpet looks and jewels paying homage to Maria Callas, the opera diva she portrays in her latest film. A particularly touching detail was the use of an archival Cartier brooch that Callas herself owned and wore, which Jolie wore both in the film and at the Venice Film Festival.
Cate Blanchett, a champion of rewearing and repurposing fashion, continued her advocacy by once again donning Louis Vuitton pearl high jewellery. She graced the Venice red carpet with the same exquisite pearls that she wore at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, showcasing their timeless elegance.
Taylor Russell, a rising style icon, has solidified her presence on the Venice red carpet with three captivating looks, all featuring Tiffany & Co. jewellery. Her most striking appearance came at the premiere of ‘Maria,’ where she wore a Loewe dress with a plunging back and a Tiffany diamond, exceeding 11 carats, draped backwards and resting between her shoulder blades. The result was a breathtakingly chic and unique display of jewellery.
Vogue has been compiling the best jewellery moments from the Venice Film Festival, capturing the sparkling essence of this prestigious event.
