The 2026 Venice Film Festival runs from September 2 to September 12, 2026, with A-listers like Kendall Jenner and Robert Pattinson in attendance.
Stars traditionally hit the red carpet in couture gowns, statement-making pieces, and custom tuxedos.
InStyle looks back at the festival's best fashion moments, dating all the way back to 1958.
The 83rd Venice International Film Festival is officially underway. Film junkie or not, you can't deny that Hollywood's finest arrive in Italy ready to bring their best-dressed game. After all, when you're surrounded by your peers competing for some of the industry's highest honors, why wouldn't you dress the part? C'mon. First held in August 1932, the Venice Film Festival has long been one of the industry's most glamorous events, welcoming everyone from Jane Fonda to Lady Gaga over the decades. I'd argue the red carpet is a spectacle all its own, with our favorite fashion houses playing a starring role.
From the water-taxi arrivals to the actual carpet, celebrities often use Venice to offer a glimpse at fashion's next era, stepping out in fresh-of-the-runway Chanel, Dior, Versace, and more. Robert Pattinson, for instance, pulled up in Dior 2027, while Timothée Chalamet famously tested the waters in a daring backless ensemble. Or Zendaya in that Dune-coded Balmain look in 2021? And of course, we have to pay our respects to the style icons who came before them—ahem Jane Birkin—who brough their signature effortless staples to the Lido.

LONDON (AP) — The NFL will play a record nine games internationally this season and they include three cities hosting for the first time: Melbourne, Australia; Rio de Janeiro; and Paris.
Jacksonville and San Francisco both play two games abroad: the Jaguars back-to-back in London; the 49ers in Melbourne and later in Mexico City.
Here's some handy information about the games and locations.
The NFL's first international game of the season might be hard to top attendance-wise. Mike Evans, Demarcus Robinson and Deebo Samuel caught touchdown passes from Brock Purdy, and the San Francisco 49ers routed the Los Angeles Rams 27-7 in the NFL's first regular-season game in Australia. There were 100,021 fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the game, the seventh-largest regular season crowd in NFL history. It was the second-largest international NFL match by attendance, topped only in October 2005 when the 49ers lost 31-14 to the Arizona Cardinals before 103,467 fans at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
The league had never staged a regular-season game so far from home — it's a nearly 16-hour flight from the U.S. West Coast. The NFL West matchup kicked off at 10:35 a.m. local time Friday, Sept. 11, in Melbourne — which was 8:35 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10 on the U.S. East Coast.

A California appeals court has ruled that Jay-Z cannot sue a personal injury attorney for extortion or defamation.
The musician's bid to sue was in response to a lawsuit that accused him of raping a 13-year-old girl.
In 2024, Tony Buzbee accused Jay-Z, known legally as Shawn Carter, of raping a child alongside Sean 'Diddy' Combs decades earlier, then dropped the case just months later.
Jay-Z denied the allegations and fought back, claiming the lawyer had fabricated the claims to extort him.
In a new ruling, California's Second Appellate District has decreed that the rap icon cannot sue Buzbee for extortion or defamation over the salacious accusations, even if they were quickly dismissed.
"The record contains no evidence Buzbee accused Carter of raping Jane Doe while knowing those statements to be false or with reckless disregard as to whether they were true," the appeals court wrote in a decision obtained by Billboard.

Keith Andrews was not shy in making changes at the break and it almost secured Brentford three points.
Record signing Ibrahim Sangare has had rave reviews for his performances in their first two Premier League games of the season since joining from Lens but he picked up a booking in the first half and was not at his best.
Anthony was one of those half-time substitutes and the former Burnley winger wasted an early chance but showed more attacking threat.
Then Yehor Yarmolyuk played a role in the build-up to the opener before Damsgaard put in the ball which eventually led to Vitaly Janelt's great finish.
Brentford remain unbeaten and if Andrews continues to show bold management then the Bees could be well placed to push on from their ninth-placed finish last season.

Actress and liberal activist Jane Fonda had some surprisingly positive things to say about Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison despite her complete opposition to a merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery.
Fonda took questions this week at the DVF Awards charity gala held during the Venice Film Festival, and she said she likes Ellison "very much," which makes her vocal opposition to his $111 billion merger a bit awkward.
"It's sad for me because I like David Ellison very much," Fonda said, according to Variety.
The 88-year-old actress noted Ellison's Skydance financed her Netflix series Grace and Frankie which ended in 2022.
"David's Skydance financed Grace and Frankie, my seven-year-long run for Netflix, and I got to know him, and I like him. But that doesn't change things. This is not a personal thing. This is what it will do to the entertainment industry, which is already suffering terribly," Fonda said.

Robin Morgan, a former editor-in-chief of Ms. Magazine who co-founded the Women's Media Center with Ms. co-founder Gloria Steinem and Jane Fonda, died today, September 5, just several days after the passing of her friend and colleague Steinem. Morgan was 85.
Her death was announced by her son Blake Morgan and Julie Burton, president and CEO of the Women's Media Center. A cause of death was not disclosed, but her son noted that she died peacefully in her sleep. Robin Morgan was in her second decade of living with Parkinson's Disease.

ETF professionals argue an overly wide definition could slow product launches and undermine one of the market's biggest advantages, even as increasingly complex funds test the boundaries of the traditional ETF structure, per a Reuters report.
The SEC opened the review in June after delaying a wave of proposed prediction-market ETFs. Its request covers ETFs that invest in innovative ***** et classes or use unconventional strategies and asks whether existing rules adequately address investor protection, market integrity, and the registration process.

Jane Fonda and Barbra Streisand have led tributes to the late Gloria Steinem.
The trailblazing feminist activist died at her home in New York City on Wednesday. She was 92.
Following the sad news, Fonda issued a heartfelt statement via Instagram.
"Gloria, in her graceful, kind, and deeply intelligent way, changed the world we live in," she wrote. "(Gloria) had a clever, often funny way to say just what was needed to surface feelings and ideas about where we belonged, what our inchoate yearnings meant, whether power was a word that women could and should embrace for ourselves, and how different power looked when held in men's hands alone."
While her own message, Barbra recalled how she was "deeply impressed" by Gloria from the moment they met in the 1970s.
"What made her so extraordinary was not only the strength of her convictions, but the humanity and grace with which she expressed them," the legendary singer-actress mused. "Gloria once said, 'When unique voices are united in a common cause, they make history.' Her voice changed history, but her greatest legacy may be the countless voices she helped others find - and gave the courage to use."

Rafael Ribeiro / CBFCredits: Palmeiras and Vasco go after the ***** le
It's time to find out who will be the 2026 Brazilian U-20 champion. Palmeiras and Vasco face off this Friday (4), at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), at Nubank Parque, in São Paulo (SP), for the second and decisive leg of the final. After a 1-0 win in the first match at São Januário (look back here), in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Verdão takes the field with the advantage in the ***** le race.
Palmeiras' winning goal in the first game was scored by Erick Belé late in the first half. As a result, a draw is enough to secure the trophy for Verdão. If Vasco manage to win by a one-goal margin and level the aggregate score, the champion will be decided on penalties.
The advantage, however, does not mean peace of mind. Vasco showed in the first match that they can trouble their opponent and will now have 90 minutes to try to change the course of the final. The Rio side have reached the final for the first time in the history of the Brazilian U-20 Championship and need to win away from home to take the trophy back to São Januário.

Olivia Rodrigo leaned into edgy glamour for her latest look, pairing a skeleton micro minidress with Stuart Weitzman pumps. The "deja vu" singer turned heads at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, California, on September 1 for the "An Evening with Olivia Rodrigo" event. The museum's official Instagram page shared her photos from the event.
Olivia Rodrigo wore a vintage Undercover Fall/Winter 2013 Silk Skeleton Top in Orange/Black to the Grammy Museum. Styled as a micro minidress, the top featured cap sleeves and a black Peter Pan collar that rested wide across her shoulders. The garment's most eye-catching detail was the centrally printed black skeletal ribcage graphic. The goth-inspired anatomical graphic contrasted with the soft peach color of the fabric, creating a playful and edgy juxtaposition.
Styled by Chloe and Chenelle, the Grammy winner paired the lightweight dress with black sheer Wolford tights. For footwear, she opted for Stuart Weitzman Babette Patent Leather Mary Jane Pumps in black colorway. The high-shine patent finish caught the light, elevating the dark tights beneath and bringing a sleek, liquid-like **** re to her look.
The $495 shoes featured an almond-shaped toe and a slender instep strap with a metallic buckle. The 85 mm block heel elongated her frame while maintaining a retro silhouette that balanced the breezy drape of her tunic. Furthermore, its black color kept the look cohesive along her leg line.
Rodrigo wore her dark brown hair in voluminous, glossy waves parted down the side, softly framing her face. Meanwhile, her makeup was fresh and radiant. It featured a natural flush, defined lashes, and a pink lip that echoed the peach tones of her dress.

Pop superstar Olivia Rodrigo continues to showcase her passion for edgy vintage fashion. Recently, the singer attended the "An Evening with Olivia Rodrigo" event at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. Naturally, her stylish appearance captured everyone's attention. She cleverly repurposed an archival designer top into a thigh-skimming micro minidress. Ultimately, her unique outfit seamlessly blended spooky graphic elements with classic preppy aesthetic details.
For the special museum appearance on September 1, 2026, Olivia Rodrigo selected an iconic archival piece from ***** anese brand Undercover's Fall/Winter 2013 collection. Specifically, the vintage silk top showcases a soft peachy-orange shade with short sleeves. Furthermore, a contrasting black rounded collar and dark shoulder cap trims give the top a neat, structured silhouette. However, rather than pairing the top with pants or a skirt, Rodrigo wore the piece as a teeny tiny micro minidress.
The front of the dress features a detailed black ribcage and spine print running down the middle. Consequently, this bold skeleton graphic adds a rebellious, punk-rock twist to her sweet look. Moreover, celebrity stylists Chloe and Chenelle elevated the leggy silhouette by pairing the dress with semi-sheer black Wolford tights. The dark tights created a striking contrast against the bright orange silk fabric.
In addition, Rodrigo chose shiny black patent leather Stuart Weitzman "Babette" Mary Jane pumps ($495) for her footwear. The block-heel shoes featured delicate straps across her feet, injecting a dainty vintage charm into the edgy outfit. Furthermore, she kept her jewelry very subtle so the graphic vintage dress could remain the main focus.
Her beauty team complemented the look with effortless styling. Hairstylist Mary Kendall brushed her long dark locks into soft, glossy waves that fell over her shoulders. Meanwhile, makeup artist Karissa O'Hanlon gave her glowing skin, rosy flushed cheeks, and a glossy berry-pink lip. Overall, Rodrigo perfectly demonstrated her ability to turn a vintage top into an iconic micro-dress.

The husband of a renowned ballroom dancer who needs 24/7 care after suffering a stroke said her first trip to the hairdressers since she fell ill had been a welcome "distraction".
Jane Bullock, who coached professionals for the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, collapsed at her Wolverhampton home on 10 August 2025, after she finished teaching a class.
As a result, the once fit and healthy dancer lost half her sight and all the movement on the left side of her body, meaning she is often restricted to her bed.
Her husband Warren said her life had "completely changed" and it had been a difficult time for both of them.
"As time goes on, you start to have a realisation and accept some things, but other things she can't accept," he said.

San Francisco sports fans will luckily not have to rely on their Netflix subscription to see yet another local team's opener this year.
The NFL has advertised its 49ers-Rams game in Melbourne next week, the league's first game in Australia ever, as something you can only watch on Netflix. While that might be true for the majority of the country, local Niners fans will have a free alternative in NBC Bay Area.
"NBC Bay Area will televise Netflix's presentation of 49ers-Rams locally in the Bay Area, with coverage beginning at 4:30 p.m. PT with an NBC Bay Area special anchored in studio by Janelle ******* and Raj Mathai, with live reports from Australia from Anthony Flores," a news release from NBC Universal reads.
This is a result of the league's simulcast rules, which contractually require the league to show a local market's team for free, even if the game is on an exclusive streaming service. This applies to Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football and now the International Game.
It's a policy that the league is quite proud of. In a news release announcing media distribution agreements through 2033, there's a line that reads "The NFL continues to be the only sports league that delivers all of its games - regular-season and playoffs - on free, over-the-air television."

Jenna Dewan credits her 13-year-old daughter Everly for inspiring her to join Dancing with the Stars this season
Everly, a fan of the show, attended last year's finale with Dewan, possibly putting her on the show's radar
Dewan shares Everly with ex Channing Tatum and says her daughter is starting to appreciate her dance legacy
Jenna Dewan might not have been on this season of Dancing with the Stars if it wasn't for her daughter Everly.
The Step Up alum, 45, spoke with PEOPLE at the Dancing with the Stars Season 35 red carpet cast reveal and shared that her 13-year-old daughter Everly is one of the reasons she's doing the reality competition show this year. Dewan, who began her career as a backup dancer for Janet Jackson, revealed that this is the first time the show asked if she'd like to join.

Jenna Dewan is headed to the Dancing with the Stars ballroom, but some fans already think she has a major advantage over the competition.
Good Morning America announced the season 35 celebrity cast and pairings on Wednesday, September 2, revealing that Dewan, 45, will compete alongside professional dancer Val Chmerkovskiy.
The casting quickly raised eyebrows because Dewan has extensive professional dance experience. Before becoming an actress, she worked as a backup dancer for stars including Janet Jackson, Missy Elliott and Christina Aguilera.
She later broke through in Hollywood opposite now-ex Channing Tatum — with whom she shares daughter Everly, 13 — in the 2006 dance film Step Up. Dewan also hosted World of Dance and previously appeared as a guest judge on So You Think You Can Dance.
Fans quickly took to social media, questioning whether Jenna's dance background gives her an unfair edge over the other contestants.

A former Cal softball player has sued the University of California and former Bears coach Chelsea Spencer, alleging that Spencer coerced her into a ******* ual relationship and retaliated against her when she tried to end the relationship.
The former player filed the lawsuit in Alameda County Superior Court last week, filing under the anonymous name Jane Doe to protect her identity. The lawsuit alleges the school did not remove Spencer from her role, even after the inappropriate relationship was raised to higher-ups.
Berkeleyside was the first to report on the lawsuit. The outlet said it got in touch with Spencer via LinkedIn, who initially said she was not aware of the lawsuit and that claims "will be addressed in the appropriate legal processes." Berkeleyside said that Spencer stopped replying and appeared to delete her account once the outlet sent her the complaint and requested a response.
The lawsuit alleges that, after the player came to Berkeley as a transfer in the fall of 2023, Spencer quickly proceeded to talk to the player "outside the ordinary confines of a coach-athlete relationship" once the player arrived on campus for the 2023-24 school year. This included talking about personal details, emotional struggles and romantic attention, according to the lawsuit, with Spencer saying the player was "so beautiful" and "your girlfriend is so lucky." Spencer also sent gifts to the player, both in the form of direct cash and items like AirPods, the lawsuit said. If the player was not responsive to Spencer, the coach would get angry and retaliate against her with negative treatment, the lawsuit alleges - including on the field, where Spencer "reduced or withheld Plaintiff's playing opportunities." But if Spencer was given the attention she sought, then the player got more time on the field.
Once the power dynamic and dependency were established in the player's mind, the lawsuit alleges, Spencer then "escalated the relationship into ******* ual contact." The ******* ual relationship allegedly began on a 2024 road trip and continued for a year, with the lawsuit detailing several instances of ******* ual encounters.

It's reasonable to **** ume that people only really talk about Taylor Swift's outfits because she's Taylor Swift. But even beyond the hype, the Grammy winner has proven time and again that she possesses an impeccable fashion sense. The "Shake It Off" hitmaker knows how to cleverly build each public appearance to reward a closer look, whether it's the best outfits Swift has worn in every era of her career or a casual 2026 street style moment during which Swift perfectly nailed the '70s nostalgia look with only two items of clothing. On May 15, 2026, she and her then-fiancé Travis Kelce were photographed enjoying a night out on the town in Manhattan. The singer-songwriter was wearing some of the most expensive jewelry out there, but her dreamy ensemble was what stole the show.
Aeon/Getty
Understandably, what everybody noticed first was the dress — a gorgeous, cream-colored midi scattered with faded blue olive sprigs. Paired with beige, strappy leather sandals, the "I Knew You Were Trouble" hitmaker looked like she'd walked straight out of an Emily Brontë or Jane Austen novel. Swift's lipstick, the one colorful stroke in an otherwise neutral palette, is definitely worth a closer look, too. The pop star opted for a rosy shade, though not so bright as to look jarring against the rest of the outfit, which consisted mostly of muted florals. It complemented everything seamlessly, hammering home that prairie vibe she was going for. Being one of her last date-night looks as a bride-to-be before the July 3 ceremony, it offered yet another look into why Swift's story-rich aesthetic is one of a kind, and why we keep chasing the details well after the moment has passed.

Before Olivia Rodrigo built Daisy Chain Fields Festival around several generations of women in music, she had already spent nearly a decade gracing the red carpet. As of the past two years, the "The Cure" singer has turned to vintage looks from the likes of John Galliano-era Dior to Tom Ford-era Gucci to spring 2000 Versace, with newer Gucci and Saint Laurent looks keeping her style current with a mix of vintage designer duds.
While her performance style has a different approach — think heavy boots with baby-doll dresses — her red carpet style has a throughline of its own. Ahead, take a look at Olivia Rodrigo's red carpet style evolution since 2017.

In a bit of a surprise move with the regular season winding down, the Mets have placed outfielder Luis Robert Jr. on waivers, SNY MLB Insider Chelsea Janes confirmed.
If Robert were to be claimed by another team, they would pick up the remainder of his contract. But it is not guaranteed that he will be claimed. Saturday is also the last day you can take someone on waivers and have them be postseason eligible
Robert has a team option worth $20 million for the 2027 season, making it unlikely the Mets were going to pick it up. Robert also has about $3 million remaining on his 2026 salary and a $2 million buyout for the 2027 option, MLB.com's Anthony Dicomo notes.
The 29-year-old has a had a rough first season with New York after being acquired in January from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Luisangel Acuña and RHP Truman Pauley.
Injuries continued to be a problem for him, as he landed on the 60-day IL at the end of April with lumbar spine disc herniation and didn't return until July 20.

The FIBA World Cup is a very big deal in women's basketball, and it only comes around every four years, so you'd like for it to work smoothly. That is hardly the case for the event that begins on Friday in Berlin.
The timing, as it relates to the WNBA, is absurd. Here we have a nine-day tournament that finds the WNBA suddenly going dark near the end of its regular season, then resuming with only four games remaining per team.
The Valkyries' season goes on pause on Sunday (against Portland) and doesn't restart until Sept. 18. That's nearly a three-week break for the league's hottest team - all the while uncertain about their playoff opponent, with the seedings still to be determined.
They'll have four players engaged in the World Cup: Gabby Williams and Janelle Salaün (France), Cecilia Zandalasini (Italy) and Miela Sowah, a development player who has appeared in just five Valkyries games but was recently added to the Australian team.
Conveniently, the WNBA's eight-team playoff group is locked in, so that's one inconvenience out of the way. Certain teams and players could certainly use a break, but the league is understandably worried about injuries and, especially in the Valkyries' case, hard-earned momentum gone stale.

On August 19, 2026, Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) and Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE:MRK) said their personalized melanoma vaccine, intismeran, combined with Merck's Keytruda, met its goals in a Phase 3 trial of 1,137 patients. It reduced the risk of cancer recurrence and spread compared with Keytruda alone, Reuters reported.
It is the first positive late-stage trial result for an mRNA cancer vaccine. Merck's Jane Healy called the result a "clinically meaningful improvement," and said it was well tolerated, CNBC reported.
Both companies' shares rose on the news. Full data will be presented at an upcoming medical meeting alongside regulatory filing discussions. The companies are already running additional trials of the same vaccine-Keytruda combination in lung, bladder, kidney, pancreatic, and stomach cancers.
For Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA), this is proof that its mRNA platform works beyond vaccines for infectious disease. A positive Phase 3 readout validates years of personalized cancer vaccine development. It gives Moderna a genuine second growth pillar alongside its COVID business, one built on technology the company already knows how to manufacture and scale.
For Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE:MRK), the result extends Keytruda's competitive life at a critical moment. Pairing Keytruda with a personalized vaccine gives Merck a differentiated, harder-to-copy combination therapy just as Keytruda itself approaches patent expiration later this decade. Hence, it protects franchise revenue through a next-generation product rather than the drug alone.

A few hours ago, the world lost legendary actor Tim Curry. The 80-year-old English actor died at his home in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles, California. A former heavy smoker and user of several substances, Curry also suffered several health issues throughout his life. While a cause for his death has not been shared, he had experienced multiple health issues after his stroke in 2012.
Soon after his passing, celebrities from across the world and from various professions came together to honor the legend. Tributes were paid by Carol Burnett, Lesley Ann Warren, Michael McKean, Kiefer Sutherland, Jane Seymour, Rob Schneider, Jennifer Tilly, Stephen King, Eric Idle, Hank Azaria, Lacey Chabert, Bruce Campbell, and others.

Former WWE Superstar and current indie wrestler Shotzi also wrote, "As a horror lover, Tim Curry scared me in the best way. As a theater kid, I wanted to be Tim Curry. I wanted to play the most bizarre, larger than life roles just like him. When I applied to AMDA, I had to write a paper about the performer who inspired me most, I chose Tim Curry. RIP to an absolute legend." Several others, including MMA veteran and actress Gina Carano, Nyla Rose, Frankie Kazarian, and others, also paid their tributes.
