The Venice Film Festival is one of the most glamorous events in the showbiz world, a veritable global summit of style where movie stars, directors, musicians, supermodels and influencers convene to look pretty on the red carpet between soaking up highbrow cinema. This year’s 79th edition, which kicked off on August 31 and wraps on September 10, welcomed stars like Julianne Moore, Laura Dern, Brad Pitt, Harry Styles and Florence Pugh.

While the event once again set a high watermark for luxury fashion, we’ve noticed a shrinking amount of conspicuous bling. However, there were still some dazzling stand-outs. As the festival draws to a close, we take a look at some of the most head-turning high jewellery looks on this red carpet.

1. Penélope Cruz

Sporting black tweed and guipure couture from Chanel’s autumn/winter 2022-2023 haute couture collection, Spanish actress Penélope Cruz complemented her elegant look with diamond jewellery from the same Parisian house. She wore the Comète earrings in white gold and diamonds, the Lune Talisman ring in white gold and diamonds from the maison’s extravagant 1932 high jewellery collection, as well as the Comète 1932 ring in 18k white gold and diamonds.
