Was this the starriest Venice Film Festival ever? The best celebrity looks from Lady Gaga and Sienna Miller

Call my water taxi!

The film industry’s great and good made their way to Venice, as the Italian city’s 81st International Film Festival played out in spectacular. Running 28 August – 7 September, the most hyped premieres included Babygirl, Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson’s erotic thriller, Wolfs, with Brad Pitt and George Clooney, as well as Joker: Folie à Deux, with Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga.

While last year’s festival was hampered by the SAG-AFTRA strikes, 2024 proved to be no problem by way of household names and extravagant ballgowns. Below, a re-cap of the very best outfits in Venice.
