Red carpet lovers, it’s your lucky day: The 2026 Venice Film Festival has officially arrived.
This year’s edition of the annual film festival—which produces one of the most glamorous red carpets in the world— kicked off with a bang: George and Amal Clooney rolled up to Venice in customary water taxi, where George is set to receive a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement award this week. (Ellen Burstyn will receive the same honour at 93, while appearing in two films: Kornél Mundruczó’s Place to Be and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Marilyn Monroe biopic, Flesh Impact .)
The film roster for this year’s festival has plenty of buzzy projects to take in: Among them is Martin McDonagh’s Oscar-tipped black comedy Wild Horse Nine ; Lance Oppenheim’s Primetime; a Robert Pattinson-led portrait of To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen; and Bunker , Florian Zeller’s marital drama starring Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem.
Better year, however, is what all of these A-listers will be wearing on the step and repeat for the splashy premieres. This is, after all, the festival that last year offered the first glimpses of new-era Chanel, Dior, Versace and Bottega Veneta before their respective runway debuts, and which has given us Lady Gaga’s feathered Valentino couture gown in 2018 and Zendaya’s wet-look Balmain dress in 2021, among other standout moments.
Who are the A-listers you can expect to see on the 2026 Venice carpet? Stars such as Dakota Johnson, Pamela Anderson, Claire Foy, Susan Sarandon, Kate and Rooney Mara, Orlando Bloom, Stephen Graham, Parker Posey and Phoebe Bridgers are all expected to attend.
