00:00I love a simple, clean black. Yeah. Jodie's style is wham, bam. She is just a goddess.
00:07Welcome to Ms. Mojo. And today, we're counting down our picks for the most memorable fashion
00:12to hit the Venice Film Festival red carpet. I had planned it for a long time before I wore it,
00:18so I was really excited to finally be able to wear it.
00:22Number 10, Gwyneth Paltrow, 2011.
00:25Probably the pale pink Prada I wore to the Venice Film Festival.
00:31We've all heard the saying, less is more. For Gwyneth Paltrow at the 68th Venice International
00:36Film Festival, that couldn't be more true. When she attended the premiere of Contagion,
00:42she wore a light pink gazaar silk Prada drop-waisted gown, featuring an open back and a halter neckline
00:48with a bow detail. The actress kept the makeup light and swept her long blonde tresses to one side.
00:54She completed the look with a Prada clutch, a pair of peep-toe platforms, and Bulgari chandelier
01:00earrings. Paltrow's overall look was simple, sophisticated, and timeless.
01:06She's going for the audience award. The audience favorite.
01:11Number 9, Tilda Swinton, 2015.
01:15We can always count on the otherworldly Tilda Swinton to liven up a red carpet with her quirky,
01:20colorful avant-garde looks.
01:22A little bit of Bowie, a little bit of Chrissy Hines in the hair, and a little bit of PJ
01:27Harvey.
01:27You know, just a feeling of something that people would recognize.
01:31When she attended the At Eternity's Gate premiere, she rocked a neck-to-toe red leopard print dress
01:36from Schiaparelli Fall 2018 Haute Couture, shoes and all. But sometimes the star likes to change it up
01:42a bit and defy expectations.
01:44I think people who collaborate and like each other amuse each other. So, no, I'm very happy to be amused
01:55by many people.
01:56One of those instances was at the 2015 premiere of A Bigger Splash, when Swinton wowed in a soft
02:02lemon-hued off-the-shoulder gown custom-made by designer Hyder Ackerman. She spiked her signature
02:07icy blonde undercut pixie, adding an edgy touch for a unique look.
02:12I mean, to say it's timeless is kind of banal, because you can say that about a lot of things,
02:16but it really is. It's both supersonic, modern, and ancient. And, of course, incredibly easy to wear,
02:25I find. And it's all about moving. It makes you want to just move his work.
02:30Number 8. Jennifer Lawrence, 2017
02:33Jennifer Lawrence isn't known for method dressing on the red carpet, but her whimsical look at the
02:3874th Venice International Film Festival was very on-theme for her film Mother.
02:43Weirdly, costumes have a lot to do with it. You know, you start feeling what she wears,
02:49and that kind of starts giving you an idea of who she is. And she just kind of, like, arrived
02:53one day.
02:54The actress attended the premiere wearing a semi-chir point d'esprit over a nude pink layered
02:59ball gown from the Christian Dior Spring-Summer 2017 couture collection by Maria Grazia Chiori.
03:05The creation featured delicate floral appliques on the bodice and all the way down the voluminous
03:10skirt, perfectly channeling her Mother Earth character. Lawrence topped off the dreamy look
03:15with a smoky eye, chic updo, and subtle Tiffany & Co. jewels.
03:20Number 7. Anne Hathaway, 2008
03:23With her impeccable fashion, Anne Hathaway consistently finds herself topping best dress lists,
03:29and for good reason.
03:31Feel more sure of yourself, something empowering woman.
03:35I don't mean empowering completely, I don't think so, but you have to feel good about yourself
03:40when you wear something.
03:41For the 2008 Venice Film Festival premiere of Rachel Getting Married, the actress sported
03:46a mint-colored Atelier Versace strapless dress adorned with rosettes and an iridescent shine.
03:52The asymmetrical high-low skirt revealed layers of ruffled fabric in shades of blue, green,
03:57and gray. Hathaway accessorized with a gold clutch and Bulgari jewels, and styled her hair
04:03in a sleek French twist. The breathtaking look was giving mermaid royalty. It's no surprise that we
04:09are still talking about it years later.
04:11You look good.
04:15What?
04:18Shut up, Serena.

04:29Darling, shall we? We have to get to the beauty department, and God knows how long that's going to take.
04:34Number 6. Dakota Johnson, 2021
04:37Back in 2015, Dakota Johnson made her Venice International Film Festival debut in a lovely
04:43pale pink slip dress by Prada. Since then, she's delivered other memorable looks at the event by a
04:48variety of designers, ranging from boho chic to high glamour.
04:53Venice Film Festival is so special because you go everywhere in boats, and that is just ridiculous.
05:01Everyone is wearing a gown in a boat, and it looks like a fake place.
05:07For the premiere of her 2021 film The Lost Daughter, she stepped out in a sheer Gucci gown dripping in
05:13soft
05:13rose crystal embellishments and silver fringe that shimmered under the lights. Designed by long-time
05:19collaborator Alessandro Michele, the stunning creation featured padded shoulders that flowed into a cape.
05:25That dress weighs about, like, 27 pounds. It was exhausting wearing it, and it was so heavy.
05:34And I also was very naked underneath. But, like, I liked it.
05:40In contrast to the weighty dress, Johnson wore her long dark hair down in loose curls with her trademark bangs.
05:47Number 5. Jodie Turner-Smith, 2022
05:50She likes to lean into the character on her red carpet presence, so that's really inspiring today's love.
05:58At the 2022 Venice International Film Festival, styling duo Wayman and Micah had Jodie Turner-Smith serving look after look,
06:06from a Casablanca ombre suit to a dazzling Gucci gown.
06:10Our favorite has to be the colorful creation she wore at the Bardo premiere.
06:14The British actress owned the red carpet in a crayon-printed Georgette and Twill dress from the Christopher John Rogers
06:20pre-fall 2022 collection.
06:22She accessorized the vibrant look with a light blue clutch, along with earrings and a choker necklace from Bugatti.
06:29Turner-Smith was a walking work of art in all her ensembles, but it's this abstract piece that took the
06:35spotlight.
06:35And when I met Grace, she was like, we could be sisters, and I'm like, oh, Grace.
06:40I agree.
06:41You see it too, Grace.
06:42Number 4. Florence Pugh, 2022
06:45From the moment Florence Pugh arrived at her first Venice International Film Festival,
06:50she commanded attention in an all-purple Valentino resort look.
06:54The moment went viral not only because of her fabulous ensemble,
06:58but also because of her unbothered attitude amid the Don't Worry Darling drama.
07:10Later, the actress was fashionably late to the premiere,
07:13stealing the show in a sheer black Valentino creation from the Haute Couture Fall Winter 2022-23 collection.
07:20The sequined tulle gown brought a different kind of drama,
07:23with oversized puffed sleeves and a daring thigh-high slit with a corset bodysuit underneath.
07:28And as if she couldn't stand out anymore, Pugh walked the red carpet in black feathered heels.
07:34Tiffany and co-jules tied the glitzy look together.
07:37I had to go with old glamour, right?
07:40Absolutely, I have to do the dramatic at this point.
07:43Good evening to everyone.
07:45Number 3. Kate Blanchett, 2025
07:48The always elegant Kate Blanchett is known for slaying red carpets,
07:53and the Venice International Film Festival is where she thrives.
07:56Mr. Armani dressed our dreams, and he understood that elegance is not about being noticed.
08:03It's about being remembered.
08:05Her and longtime stylist Elizabeth Stewart love a black ensemble with a colorful statement piece,
08:11like 2018's black velvet off-the-shoulder Giorgio Armani privé gown with a plunging neckline and feathered sleeves.
08:18And in 2022, the Oscar-winning actress wore a Schiaparelli corset and trouser fit featuring flowers at the bust.
08:25Which I'd seen on the runway, and absolutely loved, and managed not to poke myself in the eye with it.
08:31This was an example of tar, of the character coming to life, really.
08:36But one of her most talked-about looks was at the 2025 festival,
08:39when Blanchett donned an Armani gown with a bejeweled neckline, first worn at the 2022 SAG Awards.
08:46Whether she's reviving a timeless piece from her archive or rocking something new, we are here for it.
08:52Number two, Zendaya, 2021.
08:56Frequent method dresser Zendaya never misses.
08:59And at the 2021 Venice International Film Festival's Dune premiere, she served once again.
09:26The star hit the red carpet in a custom nude-toned leather Balmain dress that fit her like a glove.
09:32With a high slit that showed off her matching nude Christian Louboutin pumps.
09:36Keeping with the wet look, Zendaya wore her curls slicked down with a center part.
09:41She also donned an eye-catching Bulgari emerald and diamond serpentine necklace.
09:45The whole Sand Dunes-inspired look was very much on theme for the occasion.
09:49They made a body cast, so a woman came to my house and we went outside and, like, she casted
09:56my, molded my body and that became, like, the shell.
10:00And this is made of leather, but it kind of looks liquid, but it's all solid.
10:05It's easily one of Zendaya's best looks ever.
10:08And that is saying something.
10:10Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
10:16The lawyer wowed in a custom lavender and pink ombre silk chiffon gown by Atelier Versace.
10:23A stylish baby bump reveal in a silver Chanel two-piece ensemble.
10:32The Italian beauty took home the Volpe Cup for Best Actress in a taffeta ball gown.
10:37Tessa Thompson, 2022.
10:40The star went avant-garde in a red Elisab sculptural gown.
10:45Jennifer Lopez, 2021.
10:47The Benefer 2.0 debut with J-Lo wearing a white plunge dress by Georges Obeka.
10:57Before we continue, check out this single from Current, EDM Transformed.
11:02Check out the full track and album below.
11:14When it comes to standing out on a red carpet, or anywhere really, Lady Gaga always turns heads.
11:20Literally the whole crew would just sit back and we were all, we all kind of forgot we were even
11:24doing a job every time she sang.
11:26We were just sort of sitting there watching it and feeling very grateful that we were there at this moment
11:31to watch this incredible artist do her thing.
11:34In 2018, she made her Venice Film Festival debut at the premiere of A Star is Born,
11:40wearing a show-stopping pink-feathered Valentino gown from the Fall 2018 Couture Collection.
11:45Created by Pierpaolo Piccioli, the dress called Flamingo was the perfect balance of elegance, opulence, and fun.
11:52The singer-actress complimented the look with chopard jewels, soft pink makeup, and a top bun.
11:57When Gaga returned in 2024, she traded pink princess for goth glam in a custom black Dior ball gown with
12:05a Philip Tracy-designed headpiece.
12:07She dominated the red carpet both times, and we'd expect nothing less.
