The Venice Film Festival 2025 was as much a celebration of movies as it was a fashion extravaganza. The red carpet turned into a runway, and stars let loose with their fashion sense in bold hues, vintage pieces, and stunning gowns. Every look had a story to tell, blending sophistication and imagination. Here are the top and most memorable fashion looks from the festival this year.
Amal Clooney: Vintage Glamour
Amal Clooney stunned in a funereal fuchsia dress from the mid-1990s. The high-low, ruched dress had a striking train that flowed behind her. She accessorized the look with golden jewels, maintaining her style timeless and new. Amal’s selection proved that retro fashion never goes out of style.
Julia Roberts: Effortless Chic
Julia Roberts took everyone by surprise with her laid-back but chic attire. She had a crisp tailored jacket matched with denim, demonstrating that less can sometimes be more than a dash of glitter. Her ensemble was both sophisticated and contemporary and demonstrated that confidence and elegance are never out of style.
Heidi and Leni Klum: A Mother-Daughter Moment
Heidi Klum and daughter Leni produced one of the most charming fashion moments at the festival. Both appeared in corset dresses, but of contrasting colors. Heidi shone in a rose-gold outfit, whereas Leni wore a striking black gown with distinctive cutouts. Their matching style was a glorious combination of glamour and familial bond.
Laura Dern: Boho-Inspired Elegance
Laura Dern added a bohemian touch to the red carpet. She sported a paisley off-shoulder shirt paired with a flowing silk skirt. The look was casual yet stylish, proving that not every festival look requires heavy glitz to make a statement.
Kim Kardashian and North West: Fashion Risk-Takers
Kim Kardashian walked in a streamlining black gown with a sweeping hood and a provocative neckline. At her side was her daughter North West, who dazzled in a pinstriped suit adorned with quirky safety pin embellishments. North also made a surprise with her blue hair, which gave an edgy, youthful vibe. Combined, their outfits reflected confidence and individuality.
Emma Stone: Dazzling in Silver
Emma Stone went all out in glamour in a glittering silver evening gown. The frock featured a bubble-hem style that added a touch of playfulness without looking tacky. Sequined from head to toe, Emma’s ensemble shone in the lighting, and she became a bonafide star of the festival.
Ayo Edebiri: Contemporary Chanel
Ayo Edebiri made vintage fashion more contemporary. She featured a strapless red dress with layered embellishments that created drama without sacrificing beauty. The style merged historical opulence with contemporary flair, turning it into one of the most striking ensembles of the evening.
Chloë Sevigny: Gothic Drama
Chloë Sevigny brought boldness to the red carpet in a daring black outfit. Her lace bodysuit, paired with a voluminous skirt, created a dramatic silhouette. The look was dark, artistic, and unforgettable — exactly the kind of fashion risk that makes Venice such an exciting stage.
Cate Blanchett: Sustainable Elegance
Cate Blanchett demonstrated yet again that fabulous fashion is never outdated. She re-wore a show-stopping gown she had previously worn, a dazzling black evening dress with jewel embroidery. By wearing the same outfit again, she made a strong statement about being eco-friendly while still appearing as glamorous as possible.
