You are probably familiar with the Cannes Film Festival, of course. But the Venice Film Festival predates its French counterpart, having been held in 1932 at the Excelsior Hotel in Venice, Italy. The festival put Venice on the map as an internationally acclaimed city with spectacular events, movie stars, and a well-rounded arts and cultural scene.

Today, Venice and the Venice Film Festival remain one of the most star-studded events in the world of film and fashion. According to celebrity stylists like Alexandra Imgruos, the Met Gala and the Academy Awards are among the most talked about events in the fashion world, but at the International Film Festival, participants are free to be more creative with their looks, although they are required to wear black tie. They will be able to wear it.

The Venice Film Festival, which runs from August 31 to September 10, has already begun to produce some ah-mazing style moments. Marie Claire's Artistic Director Brittany Holloway-Brown has even put Jodie-Turner Smith's stunning ombre pantsuit look on her mood board. Here are some of the best looks from the 79th Venice International Film Festival.
