The Venice Film Festival is once again proving that the red carpet is as much a showcase for personal style as it is for cinema. From Amal and George Clooney’s timeless sophistication to Nicholas Galitzine and Jonathan Bailey’s modern take on menswear, and Formula 1 star Carlos Sainz Jr.’s polished eveningwear, the festival’s best-dressed guests brought plenty of fashion moments to the Lido.

At the opening night of the international film festival, Amal Clooney brought her signature sophisticated glamour to Venice in a custom black ruched gown, while George Clooney kept things classic in a sharp black tuxedo. 

Nicholas Galitzine opted for pared-back eveningwear in a crisp white shirt with black trousers. 

Jonathan Bailey gave classic black tie a contemporary update by pairing a double-breasted tuxedo with relaxed barrel-shaped trousers, a pleated white shirt, velvet bow tie and sunglasses.

Formula 1 driver Carlos Sainz Jr. swapped the racetrack for the red carpet in a tuxedo, standing out in an ivory dinner jacket against classic black trousers, a cummerbund and bow tie. His date, Scottish model Rebecca Donaldson, showed up in a strapless silver gown, accessorised with a delicate diamond necklace and matching bracelets.
