I love this -- and respect how well it coordinates with the step-and-repeat -- and I would not have ever, ever guessed it was Tory Burch. (I thought it was Valentino?????!) Good on you, Tory.

Bong Joon-ho

He is the president of the jury and he looks very much like himself here. I would be surprised if Bong Joon-ho showed up for an event in, like, an LV harness.

Bong Joon-ho

I love this fan! (Also, a fan makes great sense for Venice in August. I hope fans make a return for everyone.)

Virginie Efira

This is crisp and enjoyable and normal, especially because....

...I think the lighting was not very useful to her color scheme. What looked like a cream/white situation seems like it's probably more like a light green/white situation?

Chloe Zhao

I just realized, we're not accustomed to Summertime Chloe Zhao! Awards Season Chloe Zhao loved a knit cap. This is very relaxed but also snazzy?

This is VERY ARMANI and both Swinton and Blanchett have thought about it.

Mona Fastvold

I am, personally, slightly wary of pleated pants but must admit these are cool on her -- even with her very fancy sports bra. Sue Ellen Mischke could never!
