For decades, the Venice Film Festival has been one of cinema’s most glamorous stages, bringing Hollywood stars, acclaimed filmmakers, and fashion’s biggest names to the historic Venice Lido every September.The 83rd edition is no different, with the festival running from September 2 to 12 and premiering some of the year’s most anticipated films, including Danny Boyle’s Ink, Robert Pattinson’s Primetime, and Florian Zeller’s Bunker.But while the films are competing for the coveted Golden Lion, the celebrities on the red carpet have been competing for something else entirely: the title of best-dressed.This year’s fashion has delivered plenty of classic Venice glamour, from archival gowns and old-Hollywood silhouettes to increasingly daring interpretations of the red-carpet dress code.And some stars clearly had no intention of playing it safe.Sheer fabrics, lingerie-inspired styling, barely-there details, and skin-baring designs have made their way onto one of the world’s most photographed red carpets.From Sydney Sweeney to supermodels like Irina Shayk, some of the biggest names at the festival have once again found themselves at the center of the fashion conversation.Online viewers have already had plenty to say about some of the more revealing looks, with one person declaring, “wearing underwear with this dress is an insane choice,” while another joked that “the underwear really became the whole outfit somehow.”Here are 13 racy celebrity looks that have already helped make sure Venice 2026 will be remembered for its fashion as much as its movies.
