(Although she IS dripping in diamonds.) ## Serena Rossi in Armani ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12397436bj-1630526034.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Anthony Harvey/Shutterstock (12397436bj) Serena Rossi 'Parallel Mothers' premiere and Opening Ceremony, 78th Venice International Film Festival, Italy - 01 Sep 2021 This is delicate and pretty and would make a beautiful wedding gown. I'm not mad at it. ## Cynthia Erivo in Versace ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12397436cq-1630526068.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Anthony Harvey/Shutterstock (12397436cq) Cynthia Erivo 'Parallel Mothers' premiere and Opening Ceremony, 78th Venice International Film Festival, Italy - 01 Sep 2021 She had a tendency to go for very BIG looks and this is sleek and chic and sexy and excellent on her. ## Isabelle Huppert in Armani ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12397436bq-1630526046.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Anthony Harvey/Shutterstock (12397436bq) Isabelle Huppert 'Parallel Mothers' premiere and Opening Ceremony, 78th Venice International Film Festival, Italy - 01 Sep 2021 Whereas she wears Armani a lot in the course of any given year and therefore this feels on brand. ## Helen Mirren in D&G ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12397436aw-1630526023.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Anthony Harvey/Shutterstock (12397436aw) Helen Mirren 'Parallel Mothers' premiere and Opening Ceremony, 78th Venice International Film Festival, Italy - 01 Sep 2021 And she is, for some reason, REALLY all on on D&G. Sigh. I'm tired. This is objectively good on her, though. ## Milena Smit in Balmain ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12397435fx-1630526012.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matt Baron/Shutterstock (12397435fx) Milena Smit 'Parallel Mothers' premiere and Opening Ceremony, 78th Venice International Film Festival, Italy - 01 Sep 2021 This is interestingly architectural and I'm surprised we didn't see this at Cannes. (I wonder how many people didn't make it to Cannes and are going to make Venice their Cannes.) ## Georgina Rodriguez in Ermanno Scervino ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12397435au-1630525965.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matt Baron/Shutterstock (12397435au) Georgina Rodriguez 'Parallel Mothers' premiere and Opening Ceremony, 78th Venice International Film Festival, Italy - 01 Sep 2021 This is very chic and I would love to see more sleek pants on the red carpet. ## Sara Sampaio in Armani ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12397435fi-1630526000.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matt Baron/Shutterstock (12397435fi) Sara Sampaio 'Parallel Mothers' premiere and Opening Ceremony, 78th Venice International Film Festival, Italy - 01 Sep 2021 This is NOT very Cannes-y -- Cannes is generally more naked than Venice -- and it's surprisingly sweet on her. ## Sarah Gadon ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12397436di-1630526080.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Anthony Harvey/Shutterstock (12397436di) Sarah Gadon 'Parallel Mothers' premiere and Opening Ceremony, 78th Venice International Film Festival, Italy - 01 Sep 2021 Sure! Although I don't love the floofy fringe there in the middle of the bodice. ## Barbara Palvin in Armani ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12397436ci-1630526057.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Anthony Harvey/Shutterstock (12397436ci) Barbara Palvin 'Parallel Mothers' premiere and Opening Ceremony, 78th Venice International Film Festival, Italy - 01 Sep 2021 This is excellent on her and yet again I wonder how someone named "Barbara Palvin" isn't a movie star in 1964. ## Penelope Cruz in Chanel ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12397436dr-1630526101.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Anthony Harvey/Shutterstock (12397436dr) Penelope Cruz 'Parallel Mothers' premiere and Opening Ceremony, 78th Venice International Film Festival, Italy - 01 Sep 2021 This has a real *My Fair Lady* vibe to it that I don't hate. ## Penelope Cruz in Chanel ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12397436dv-1630526113.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Anthony Harvey/Shutterstock (12397436dv) Penelope Cruz 'Parallel Mothers' premiere and Opening Ceremony, 78th Venice International Film Festival, Italy - 01 Sep 2021 The back is interesting and, again, sort of sweet. Are we all going to be sweet in the upcoming months? (I mean....signs point to no but I hold a good thought.) ## Jane Campion in Prada ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12397436dy-1630526124.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Anthony Harvey/Shutterstock (12397436dy) Jane Campion 'Parallel Mothers' premiere and Opening Ceremony, 78th Venice International Film Festival, Italy - 01 Sep 2021 She, on the other hand, looks like she's got to go back to the castle and cast some spells and I am DEFINITELY here for THAT. ## Francesca Tizzano ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12397436ek-1630526137.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Anthony Harvey/Shutterstock (12397436ek) Francesca Tizzano 'Parallel Mothers' premiere and Opening Ceremony, 78th Venice International Film Festival, Italy - 01 Sep 2021 Shades of the nicest saloon in the west...but not in a bad way. ## Adriana Lima in Etro ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12397435bb-1630525977.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matt Baron/Shutterstock (12397435bb) Adriana Lima 'Parallel Mothers' premiere and Opening Ceremony, 78th Venice International Film Festival, Italy - 01 Sep 2021 The Sexy Tootsie Competition of 2021 is OFFICIALLY ON. ## Roberta Armani ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12397435ez-1630525989.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matt Baron/Shutterstock (12397435ez) Roberta Armani 'Parallel Mothers' premiere and Opening Ceremony, 78th Venice International Film Festival, Italy - 01 Sep 2021 I assume this is Armani and it would also make great wrapping paper if they're looking to branch out. ## Bianca Balti in D&G ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12397436q-1630526148-scaled.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Anthony Harvey/Shutterstock (12397436q) Bianca Balti 'Parallel Mothers' premiere and Opening Ceremony, 78th Venice International Film Festival, Italy - 01 Sep 2021 "I didn't get to wear this to Cannes!!!!" [The Opening Ceremony of the Venice Film Festival Was Surprisingly NeutralWith a few sparkly exceptions!![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2021/09/the-opening-ceremony-of-the-venice-film-festival-1630526844.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/the-opening-ceremony-of-the-venice-film-festival-was-surprisingly-neutral-09-2021/)
