The 83rd Venice International Film Festival is currently underway on the Lido, running from September 2 to September 12, 2026. Organized by the Biennale di Venezia, the event features a selection of 88 feature films, 18 short films, and various immersive projects. 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’. Red carpet appearances continue to serve as a major global platform for fashion and celebrity culture. George Clooney attended to receive an honorary Golden Lion, while his wife, Amal Clooney, drew attention in various high-fashion looks. 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. Recent high-profile appearances include Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham at the Kinéo Awards, where Peltz received the Rising Star award wearing a violet Balenciaga haute couture gown. 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.

The presence of television and social media figures Roberta Di Padua and Alessandro Vicinanza sparked criticism from users questioning the ~~Giorgio Armani Fall/Winter collection, while Penélope Cruz appeared in a custom red Chanel ensemble for~~ inclusion of influencers alongside professional film industry workers.
