I’m a bit of a film buff, so you better believe that I live for the Venice Film Festival. Perhaps it’s the gondolas or, more likely, the sheer fashion fest that the attendees put on for us every night, but there’s something about the glittering Italian event that makes it feel incredibly special—sorry, Cannes. And tonight, it’s gone more A-list than ever, with the glory that is the Don’t Worry Darling premiere—arguably the most hotly-anticipated screening of the whole festival. Why? It’s incredible cast and crew; namely Harry Styles, Florence Pugh, and Olivia Wilde.
The anticipation centred around this film has been palpable ever since the first teasers were released over a year ago, and even before that when the controversial casting was released. Of course, I’ve already carved out a date to see it when it’s released later in the month, but my excitement might just have peaked this evening when the images of the premiere started to trickle through.
I knew Styles would treat us to something spectacular, and he certainly held up his end of the bargain in a midnight blue, flared-trouser suit and cornflower pointed-collar shirt, accessorised with white shoes, retro sunglasses (all by Gucci, naturally), gold rings, and a pastel manicure. Pleasing indeed. Then, there’s fashion darling and, in my opinion, one of the A-list’s freshest dressers, Florence Pugh, who took the naked dress trend to the next level with her off-the-shoulder Valentino Haute Couture creation of tulle and sequins. A fellow petite girl, she has my full support in her choice of stacked platform, bow-adorned heels. Then, there’s the film’s director Olivia Wilde, whose flowing yellow Gucci gown was challenged in its beauty by only her diamond jewellery. And her face.
See their incredible looks below, as well as more standout ensembles worn by the films other impeccably-dressed stars. Chris Pine in autumn/winter’s hottest colour trend, you say? Coming right up…
