Our Favourite Beauty Looks from the Venice Film Festival 2023

This year's Venice Film Festival might have been a bit more subdued than in previous years due to the recent SAG-AFTRA strikes. However, attendees still arrived dressed to perfection, and once again, we were left wanting more. The Venice Film Festival is known not only for its artistic films but also for its stunning red-carpet looks.

This year, we were treated to Amal Clooney in a vintage Dior slip dress that turned heads, making us almost forget her suave date, hubby George Clooney, who wore a sharp all-black suit. Many looks graced the red carpet, leaving us in awe and prompting us to save them in our archive of the best beauty looks. Here is our compilation of the best beauty looks that graced this year’s film festival.

Ava Duvernay

Ava maintained an elegant tone throughout, sporting crochet faux braids in an updo bun and achieving a bronzed and radiant complexion.

India Amateifio

India's head-to-toe look impressed us as she emerges this awards season. The Queen Charlotte actress kept her hairstyle simple yet classic drawing attention to the natural flush and glow on her face. She placed a blush on her cheekbones, extending it up to her temples to create a lifted face.
