The 83rd Venice Film Festival opened in Venice, Italy, drawing hundreds of celebrities to its red carpet, where Sydney Sweeney, George Clooney, Amal Clooney and a string of Russian supermodels stood out with bold and often daringly sexy looks.

It ranks alongside the Cannes and Berlin festivals among the industry's most prestigious events, and its top prize, the Golden Lion, is one of cinema's highest honors.
