What better occasion for people-watching than the red carpet of a film festival? Obviously, at the Venice Film Festival, several notable films are premiering: There’s Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt, starring Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri, Andrew Garfield, and Chloë Sevigny; the Yorgos Lanthimos-directed Emma Stone-starrer Bugonia; Katherine Bigelow’s A House of Dynamite; Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, starring Jacob Elordi…
Amid all the standing ovations and rave reviews that the films themselves generated, do you know what the biggest talking point was? Alba Rohrwacher’s blue dress that she wore to the Jay Kelly premiere. Specifically, a draped-bodice, floor-length, blue dress with a butt that can support a royal tea service; everyone suspects the gown is from Jonathan Anderson’s debut Dior couture collection. The Italian actor-director wore another Jonathan Anderson for Dior look earlier the day—a butter-yellow silk satin pleated blouse over grey trousers.Â
Ayo Edebiri had fashion watchers in a tizzy with a red Chanel gown and a white suit that are dialling up the excitement for Matthieu Blazy’s debut at Chanel. Co-star Julia Roberts did a day-and-night Versace spotlight—a blazer-and-jeans look followed by a bias-cut navy gown, both early peeks into Dario Vitale for Versace.
Of course, we’re lapping it up. We love Easter eggs. We love little breadcrumbs that’ll make us gleefully enter the dark wood where the gingerbread cottage awaits.
For more rabbit holes to do down into, we have reads on the Tayvis effect on engagement rings, a legendary Mumbai hairstylist, and Y2K-era douchebag style.
