Top Red Carpet Looks and Misses at the 2026 Venice Film Festival

During the Venice International Film Festival, which runs from September 2 through September 12 on the island of Venice Lido, a variety of celebrity outfits were evaluated. Jonathan Bailey stood out in a black tuxedo paired with a textured white shirt, velvet bow tie and an oversized blazer draped with a thin scarf. J Balvin arrived in an oversized brown-diamond-print Emporio Armani suit that reviewers felt resembled pajamas despite his Miu Miu aviators and diamond accessories.

The Clooneys continued their reputation as a well-dressed couple, with George in a classic tuxedo and Amal in a sleeveless, ruched Tom Ford gown designed by Haider Ackermann. Claire Foy wore a vibrant Bottega Veneta satin gown, but her leather, full-length gloves distracted from the look. Influencer Madisin Rian dazzled in a halter sequin gown by Giorgio Armani, complemented by silver sandals and diamond jewelry. Jewel’s animal-print Genny dress was called confusing, while Domhnall Gleeson’s chocolate-brown suit perfectly matched his hair and featured a bow tie and leather shoes.
