Isabelle Huppert in Armani

I am REALLY not into the satiny blouse under that tank dress. It could be sort of a sexy sheerish situation but it's being saddled with schoolmarm vibes. They clash. And indeed, it's much better without.

Joaquin Phoenix and Rain Phoenix

Isabelle Huppert should have kidnapped Rain and stolen her luggage. She'd have looked cool in this. (That is JQ's sister.)

with Rooney Mara

Rooney is there with him, but they have a young kid and a fairly new baby, so I'm assuming they traveled at LEAST with the infant -- is that poncho actually an in-use baby sling? -- and she had to hang back and keep an eye. Or decided at the last minute that she was not in the mood to dress up without worrying about lactating.

Zhang Ziyi

This is nice enough. Relaxed. Maybe a bit like very pretty luggage lining.

Jasmine Sanders

I am bored of this entire vibe.

Iris Law

It's a nice color. And velvet, again. Are we in for a lot of that this fall?

Hildur Gudnadottir

She won the Oscar for Joker's score, and presumably worked on this movie also. I might not have gone with black shoes, but whatever, red carpets aren't her job -- she looks nice!

Sveva Alviti

Sveva was listed as "patroness of the festival" -- I think it has different ones each year? -- and while you might think this dress is very basic and simple, it's actually...

... a QUESTION MARK. And an exclamation point on top, I think. I might love it. Or rather, I might love it?!

Todd Philipps, Joaquin

Joaquin could not have made less effort here, but damn, his mood is REALLY good?

So smiley! And I kind of like that haircut on him?

And he DOES look good in a plain white tee. What is happening to me? I'm not even a fan of his! I need better sleep.

Everyone Who Isn't Lady Gaga Kept It Chill For Joker 2

I mean, as chill as you get in Venice.
