On August 31, the 79th Venice Film Festival opened, which means that we can expect not only movie premieres, but also bright star images in the coming days. Fashion editor Nadia Bechetnikova She looked at the red carpet of the first evening, chose the most memorable looks and talked about which trends determined her outfit choice.

At the opening ceremony of the Venice Film Festival, you could see the stars gathered at the Lido following various trends. Perhaps the most popular were transparent dresses. Various guests appeared on the runway, including jury president Julianne Moore to top model Mariacarla Boscone. That is why those who still doubt can be convinced that “naked” dresses are again at the peak of popularity.

Another sign of this year’s red carpet are dresses from past collections. Armani Prive archival outfits were particularly popular this year (though the Italian brand is traditionally one of the main suppliers of evening looks at the Venice Film Festival). This trend is quite understandable: in recent years, designers and celebrities alike have championed sustainable fashion and a sensible approach.

The main color of this summer – pink – was almost invisible. If even at recent social events half of the guests came in pink, now only Alessandra Ambrosio was shining in a dress in that color. But red became the favorite – fashionistas were not afraid to merge with the runway.

And, of course, not without impressive decorations. Model Grace Elisabeth wore a massive Crivelli diamond necklace, model Isabeli Fontana wore a large Elsa Jin brooch set of diamonds and sapphires, and actress Mélanie Laurent wore Cartier earrings with diamonds, rubellite and peridots.
