The Venice Film Festival recently witnessed a surprise appearance by one of the music industry's most popular figures. Olivia Rodrigo, currently taking a break from her Guts World Tour, made a discreet visit to Italy to support her boyfriend Louis Partridge's involvement in the Apple TV+ limited series, Disclaimer. This marked the couple's first public appearance at an official event, although they did not pose together on the red carpet outside Palazzo del Cinema.
Rodrigo and Partridge attended a cocktail reception at the Hotel Excelsior before the world premiere, as well as a post-screening reception at Palazzina Grassi. Paparazzi images captured the couple moving between these events. Vogue covered Rodrigo's outing, praising her '90s-inspired ensemble. Rodrigo herself documented the evening, filming Partridge during the show's introduction at Sala Grande, where Disclaimer received a warm standing ovation.
The Apple Studios series, based on Renée Knight's best-selling novel, unfolds in seven chapters and boasts a star-studded cast including Cate Blanchett, Kevin Kline, Sacha Baron Cohen, and others. Blanchett portrays Catherine Ravenscroft, a renowned journalist who finds herself the subject of a novel that exposes her deepest secrets, leading to a gripping narrative.
Partridge, known for his roles in various films including Argylle and Paddington 2, joins Disclaimer after a successful career. The series is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on Oct. 11, with the first two episodes launching simultaneously, followed by weekly releases.
This event at the Venice Film Festival not only showcased Rodrigo's support for Partridge but also highlighted the anticipation surrounding Disclaimer's release and the stellar performances expected from the talented cast. Fans can look forward to immersing themselves in this intriguing series as it unfolds on the small screen.
