Article (news)

The&nbsp;2026 Venice Film Festival has brought together some of the biggest names in Hollywood, fashion, music, and film, turning the Lido into a showcase of glamour, individuality, and standout red-carpet dressing.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17887644356563.png" style="width: 960px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"></div>Among the early arrivals, Bianca Balti made one of the most theatrical entrances in a sculptural pale-pink gown complete with dramatic white wings. The statement silhouette gave traditional red-carpet glamour a distinctly Venetian edge, while her sleek bob and minimal beauty look kept the styling sharp.Alessandra Ambrosio and Stella Maxwell offered two takes on the season&#39;s continuing lingerie-inspired dressing. Ambrosio&#39;s fitted satin look emphasized a structured bustier and corsetry, while Maxwell opted for an intricate sheer lace gown that revealed the lingerie-inspired construction underneath.Nina Dobrev brought a dose of high-fashion drama in a black sequined Armani Priv&eacute; gown, punctuated by unexpected chartreuse panels that swept from the hips into a fluid train. The combination of dark embellishment and vivid green gave the classic strapless silhouette a striking finish.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17887644435564.png" style="width: 960px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"></div>Meanwhile, Kendall Jenner made her Venice debut in a vintage Giorgio Armani look from the designer&#39;s Fall 1995 collection. The gold embroidered slip dress delivered a softer, old-Hollywood interpretation of festival glamour, with its archival provenance adding another layer to the look.Black continued to dominate the carpet in different forms. Brittany Snow leaned into classic evening glamour with a sleek embellished gown, while Hayes Warner brought the shade into sharply tailored territory with a streamlined jumpsuit. Phoebe Waller-Bridge, meanwhile, offered a more directional take on evening dressing with a dramatic, cape-like silhouette.Across the arrivals, the 2026 Venice red carpet is shaping up around a mix of archival fashion, sculptural silhouettes, visible corsetry, sheer dressing, sequins, and polished tailoring. The looks feel glamorous without being overly uniform, with each star finding a different way to interpret the traditional Venice dress code.With the festival continuing through September 12, there are still plenty of red-carpet moments to come.

From Bianca Balti’s sculptural pink gown to Kendall Jenner’s archival Giorgio Armani look, these are the standout fashion moments from the Lido
