The celebrity style set were clearly swayed by Fergie and Jack Harlow’s performance of “Glamorous x First Class” at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this week because their stylish arrival into Venice is just that.
Ahead of the upcoming Venice Film Festival, an elite list of A-listers including Julianne Moore and Jodie Turner descended on the floating city for an all out affair of fashion, film and focaccia across the palazzos, canals and lagoons.
However, it’s not just the red carpet on the Venetian isle of Lido that will play host to some of the most illustrious and perennially stylish members of the celebrity style set.

The Casablanca creation, from the French labels Spring/Summer 2022 collection, could not be more fitting for the occasion—panache, frivolous and flirty, the perfect combination for a week long affair of art and culture.
Keeping with the vintage aesthetic, Turner-Smith completed her ensemble with a jacquard Gucci carry-all and tote bag. Glamorous.
Thor star Tessa Thompson also brought the sartorial thunder (and love) with a mesh Victoria Beckham ensemble.
With the likes of Harry Styles, Timothée Chalamet and Cate Blanchett set to jet in for the premiere of their upcoming films, Venice’s Marco Polo airport is certainly the one to watch.
