The annual Venice Film Festival is one of the most esteemed film festivals across the globe, alongside Cannes, Berlin, Toronto and Sundance. Being the oldest festival in the world celebrating cinema, those who have made it on the exclusive guest list have the honour to preview the latest cinematic masterpieces in the historic Palazzo del Cinema in Venice.
Due to the historic and artistic significance of this event, stars across all walks of life flaunted their finest attire on the red carpet, adorned in exquisite pieces by renowned Italian fashion houses — such as Jacob Elordi in Valentino, Barbara Palvin in Giorgio Armani and Patrick Dempsey in Brunello Cucinelli.
Hong Kong’s very own iconic actor Tony Leung also took to the stage to receive the prestigious Golden Lion Lifetime Achievement award, a milestone which resonated in particular with viewers back home.
