Michelle Dockery and Freida Pinto

These two are so lovely, but I fear there has been a terrible jewelry shortage in Venice. Lady Mary, at least, certainly could use a wee bit of bling, no? That outfit is screaming for some shiny accessories.

I kind of hope this is how Lady Mary storms into the first scene of the new season of Downton Abbey: huge sunglasses, peevish expression, red lip, great bag, slightly visible bra.

Freida Pinto

This is a little wrinkly, but even I am willing to cut some slack for the fact that i think she just got off a boat in the middle of the day in September in Venice: I would look as if my ENTIRE BEING were MADE OF WRINKLES. It's charming, and one of the cutest looks she's worn in a long time. Well, I think. What do you think?

Venice Film Festival Fug or Fab: Michelle Dockery and Freida Pinto

This is a photocall for something called "Miu Miu Women's Tales," which, per HuffPo, "is a series of six films commissioned by the Italian fashion house to combine 'interesting cinematic themes and strong feminine points of view with fashion." Apparently, several of the shorts are excellent -- and they're also a good excuse for actresses to pop over to Venice to wear Miu Miu and model great sunglasses. The Venice Film Festival has been brutal for my sunglasses fetish. STOP ME BEFORE I BUY ANOTHER PAIR. [Photos: PacCoastNews]
