Decked in decadent jewels, celebrities graced the Venice Film Festival red carpet with their usual flair despite soaring temperatures reaching 30 degrees celsius (otherwise known as a good day for those of us in the Middle East) on the beautiful island of Lido. While some preferred to bring out the brilliance of high jewellery, others preferred a more subtle approach to resplendence. Diamonds, pearls and emeralds were all on the guestlist, and we can guarantee that the stars did not hold back.
From intricate settings to bold, contemporary designs, this year's selection captures the essence of haute joaillerie. Join us as we spotlight the standout pieces that have redefined red carpet elegance and left an indelible mark on this year's festival.
Camila Mendes in Bvlgari
Camila Mendes' bold red carpet look was elevated by Bvlgari's Monete High Jewelry choker. The statement piece, crafted in yellow gold with onyx elements and a bronze coin, perfectly complemented her fearless style. A true friend to the bold dresser, this choker added the perfect touch of panache.
Mariacarla Boscono in Pomellato
A regal princess necklace featuring an oval cabochon-cut tourmaline stone was the centerpiece of Mariacarla Boscono's ensemble in Venice. The elegant piece, crafted in white gold with delicate diamond links, transformed the model into a modern-day princess.
Poppy Delevingne in Boucheron
Poppy Delevingne arrived wearing the Plume de Paon collection, featuring large earrings adorned with diamonds and rose-cut diamonds in white gold. She paired this with the Plume de Paon ring, set with a radiant rose-cut diamond surrounded by diamonds and the Plume de Paon small ring, also featuring a rose-cut diamond.

Attending the world premiere of her Apple Tv+ limited series, Disclaimer, Hoyeon opted for minimalistic jewellery on the red carpet with the Galaxie Monogram earrings by Louis Vuitton High Jewellery. Designed with two princess-cut diamonds and a marquise-cut diamond in white gold, the actress defined understated elegance.

Sydney Sweeney in De Beers
The Aria bracelet and Adonis Rose ring were Sydney Sweeney's choice of bling for Venice and we can't help but applaud the decision. The chunky bracelet is simultaneously daring and feminine, making it a note-worthy selection for the carpet.
Felicity Jones in Boucheron
Felicity Jones graced the red carpet in the Vendôme Liseré pendant earrings and bracelet, both set with diamonds on white gold and highlighted by chic black lacquer.
Cate Blanchett in Louis Vuitton High Jewellery
The Seeds earring from the Deep Time collection by Louis Vuitton High Jewellery made sure we couldn't keep our eyes off of Cate Blanchett. The stunning single earring, set with two yellow pearls, effortlessly added colour and excitement to the actress' look at the Disclaimer premiere.
