The Venice Film Festival may revolve around cinema, but fashion has become an essential part of its annual spectacle. The 2026 edition once again transformed the Lido into a showcase for couture, sharp tailoring and unexpected styling. Stars moved between timeless black gowns, shimmering embellishments, relaxed suits and bursts of bright color. Some relied on archival fashion, while others arrived in custom creations designed specifically for the occasion. Together, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Amal Clooney, Rooney and Kate Mara, Robert Pattinson, Suki Waterhouse and Pamela Anderson demonstrated just how varied festival dressing can be.
Jury president Maggie Gyllenhaal established a sophisticated tone with several dramatic black looks. For the opening, she selected an all black Celine ensemble featuring an off the shoulder twisted bodice. Another memorable appearance came in archival Armani Privé from the Fall 2015 collection. Rich velvet, sharply sculpted shoulders and crystal detailing around the plunging neckline gave the older design a fresh presence on the carpet.
Amal Clooney also embraced black with a custom Tom Ford creation by Haider Ackermann. Her appearance demonstrated the continuing appeal of streamlined eveningwear, with careful construction and texture doing much of the visual work. Rather than competing with the surroundings through excessive decoration, the gown relied on an elegant silhouette and refined details.
Sisters Rooney and Kate Mara offered two very different interpretations of evening glamour while promoting Bucking Fastard. Rooney remained close to her famously minimalist aesthetic in a black satin Louis Vuitton dress. A sleek fitted upper section expanded dramatically near the hem through gathers and voluminous fabric. Kate moved in the opposite direction with Armani Privé, choosing a black and white gown featuring a sparkling skirt and pearl embellished bodice.
Menswear also provided a change of pace. Robert Pattinson appeared in a relaxed white pinstripe suit while promoting Primetime, pairing it with a crisp shirt and striped tie. The slightly oversized proportions gave traditional tailoring a lighter feeling suited to Venice. Suki Waterhouse accompanied him in a pale green Saint Laurent lace two piece, bringing a softer color and delicate texture to the event.

Southampton head coach Tonda Eckert says his players "deserve all the credit" after they beat Bristol City 4-1 on Saturday.
Two goals from Cyle Larin, and strikes from Kuryu Matsuki and Finn Azaz capped off an excellent performance, and extended their unbeaten run in the league to six matches.
"If you see the block of games that we come from it's not easy, especially if you then face a team who had a whole week to prepare," he told BBC Radio Solent.
"The midweek game against Swansea we knew that we have to run more and we did run more and more intense than we have all season.
"Obviously that takes takes a toll, that's just the reality so early on in the season and then it was just different energy levels on the pitch today."

Natsuki Deguchi brought two completely different fashion stories to the Venice Film Festival while promoting Hirokazu Kore-eda's Look Back.

Natsuki started the day in a Maison Margiela Co-Ed Fall 2026 look that was far removed from the simple, clean elegance we are used to seeing at Venice photocalls.
The floral-print dress was overlaid with fused and spliced tapestry panels, arranged to create the impression of a Stockman dressmaker's dummy. With the tapestry appearing almost pinned onto the floral base and its raw edges left exposed, there was an unfinished quality that made the construction the most interesting part of the look.
It's the kind of Margiela design that makes more sense the longer you look at it. Yes, there is a lot happening between the contrasting prints, textures and deconstructed finish but she sold it too me.

Suki Waterhouse graced the red carpet alongside her fiancé, Robert Pattinson, for the screening of his new film "Primetime" during the 2026 Venice Film Festival on Sept. 5 in Venice. The duo was dressed formally for their red carpet moment.
The "Back in Love" singer's Lavalliere-Cuff mini dress hailed from Saint Laurent and was constructed out of a mossy green lace fabric. The delicate construction consisted of a high neck and long sleeves adorned with mauve silk bows at the wrists. Said bows were worn undone, tapping into Waterhouse's rock star aesthetic that is slightly disheveled but always flattering.

Suki Waterhouse has spent eight years with Robert Pattinson without watching the movie franchise that turned him into an international star.
Pattinson played vampire Edward Cullen in the original 2008 film and its four sequels, which were released through 2012.

LONDON/SINGAPORE, June 30 (Reuters) - The steadily climbing dollar pushed the yen down to levels not seen since 1986 on Tuesday, stoking worries that direct intervention from Tokyo was near, if perhaps not immediate, and also putting the ‌euro under pressure.
The greenback climbed to as high as 162.41 yen for the first time in 40 years on Tuesday and ‌was last at 162.15, up slightly on the day. ******* anese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama reiterated that authorities stood ready to respond appropriately at any time, but refrained from stronger rhetoric.
"The dollar is the main story at the moment and dollar/yen the key focus within that," said Lee Hardman, senior currency ******* yst at MUFG.
"The market has moved to price in a higher chance of the Federal Reserve hiking rates, and while our view is ultimately the Fed can look through this inflation pick up there isn't an immediate trigger for that unless we get softer data or Fed officials dial back the rhetoric."
