The Venice Film Festival had barely begun, but the red carpet was already commanding attention. As usual, the world’s focus turned to the stars arriving in the city, with festival fashion taking a leading role.

Parker Posey stood out in a light, flowing Valentino dress. George and Amal Clooney again attracted attention, while George Clooney is set to receive the festival’s Golden Lion for lifetime achievement this year.

The festival’s film programme also includes major premieres. Martin McDonagh’s comedy Wild Horse Nine has been described as a strong contender for success at the next Academy Awards. Bunker, Florian Zeller’s marriage drama starring Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, will also premiere.
