The main competition for the Golden Lion is presided over by jury president Maggie Gyllenhaal. Cinematic highlights include the premieres of Danny Boyle’s ‘Ink’, Werner Herzog’s ‘Bucking Fastard’, and Martin McDonagh’s ‘Wild Horse Nine’.

Other notable fashion moments include Marina Ruy Barbosa in a white Miss Sohee gown adorned with 2,160 crystals and pearls that “glows in low light,” and Georgina Rodríguez in a dark blue tuxedo-inspired ensemble.

Additionally, Count Nikolai of Monpezat and partner Benedikte Thoustrup attended the premiere of Paul Schrader’s ‘Basics of Philosophy’, with Thoustrup wearing a navy blue Armani dress.

As the festival progresses, the red carpet continues to showcase international style.
