Dresses of the Venice Film Festival Jury – Black Mass Premiere 

5 Sep

Red carpet treats continue to be delivered from the Venice Film Festival with Diane Kruger and Elizabeth Banks hitting the dramatic notes at the Black Mass premiere.  First up is Diane Kruger crushing it in a velvet BOSS gown from Jason Wu and on her Instagram she notes that all of her looks for this festival are inspired by Italian actresses from the 50s and 60s; a playful twist on a classic style. Bonus Joshua Jackson in a tux. Happy Saturday!Going big in Andrew Gn and showing why I cannot wait for the next and final Hunger Games press tour. It’s a whole lot of dress and Elizabeth Banks is working it.  In motion going up the stairs gives a fantastic glimpse of the super stacked Brian Atwood shoes.

And from my new favourite Instagram account here is a fun behind the scenes shot of Banks.

Dresses of the Venice Film Festival Jury – Day 1

3 Sep

September is a busy month for fashion, TV and film and as I’ve previously written it always feels like the start of a new year (I’ve been out of full time education for a few years now, but my brain is still wired to the academic calendar). The Venice Film Festival kicked off yesterday and the jury consists of some TV Ate My Wardrobe faves; day 1 of the red carpet and photocalls definitely delivered on both the casual and formal threads so I’m taking this as an early birthday present.  If there was a daytime theme it would be florals and Diane Kruger is kicking it in sailor inspired Preen. Pairing this with black Chelsea boots is giving me slight My So-Called Life vibes (DMs would be full MSCL vibes). Also pockets! Going full floral in Dolce & Gabbana and Stuart Weitman sandals; Elizabeth Banks is a romantic dream. Paz Vega dons vintage looking Salvatore Ferragamo and stacked platform peep toes.

I would like all of these dresses in my closet please. Comtinuing the floral trend is Emily Watson at the Everest photocall and she looks delightful in a bold take on this print. Bonus dudes in great suits includes a dreamy beardy Jake Gyllenhaal in Salvatore Ferragamo and Jason Clarke (that hair has to be for a role) in walnut Bruello Cucinelli. Pretty in Prada and caped perfection for Diane Kruger at the Everest premiere.  The ladies of the jury are also coordinated in their evening wear in such a way that is unique to the individual and shows that there was maybe an email chain laying down themes; pale and ethereal gowns with slight embellishments. Dolce & Gabbana again for Elizabeth Banks and an amazing red lipstick to top it all off. 

A beaded Ralph & Russo beauty for Paz Vega in another stunning turn. Bonus Jake in velvet and he’s once again in Salvatore Ferragamo and wearing it so well. Because she is a Magical Fashion Unicorn, Kruger can pretty much make all jumpsuits work so effortlessly including this Cushnie et Ochs ensemble at the opening dinner event.

So many amazing outfits and it is only day 1!
