The Dreamiest Red Carpet Looks From the Venice Film Festival

With the Met Gala and the Oscars behind us, you might have thought red carpet season was over. But allow us to turn your attention to one spectacularly stylish event that promises to end summer with a bang: the Venice Film Festival.

Of course, models also turned out in full force for night one of the festival. Victoria's Secret Angel Sara Sampaio stunned in a bow-bedecked Giorgio Armani Privé number, while Izabel Goulart was picture-perfect in a swirly silver gown. Scroll down to see the best red carpet looks from the Venice Film Festival so far.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
