Zendaya
Zendaya, the American actress and singer, rocked the Venice Film Festival in this Valentino blazer and dress. Law Roach styled her in this fashionable ensemble which included a deep neckline, a thigh-high slit, and an over-sized pink bow tied around the waist. The blazer and dress were paired with Bulgari jewelry to accessorize along with a pair of Christian Louboutin black leather platform pumps. This entire ensemble highlighted Zendaya’s legs and figure as the white dress hung loosely on her skin and flowed behind her creating a mini train as she walked. The Valentino blazer and dress were a smartly styled outfit.
Another eye-catching red carpet look was served by none other than Zendaya. Law Roach styled Zendaya in a nude-colored leather gown by Balmain which was sculpted to match Zendaya’s silhouette to a T. This leather Balmain dress hugged Zendaya’s frame perfectly with intricate details of creasing along her torso and waist where the dress would normally scrunch up creating a “wet” look. Zendaya and Law drew the inspiration for this dress from a 19th-century Italian marble statue, Undine Rising from the Fountain. This dress was styled with wet brown hair parted down the middle with her edges set and styled. The Balmain dress consisted of a thigh-high slit to show off her toned legs and it was paired with nude pointed Louboutin heels. The accessories paired with this dress consisted of a Bulgari emerald necklace, a matching ring, and a pair of diamond stud earrings.
Patricia Contreras

As the dress is decorated with pale pink fringes along the shoulders and bodice of the dress and white embroidery on the corset down the waist. The tulle on the dress gives it the width and style of a princess gown typically worn at a ball and this red carpet event is no different than such a party. To accessorize this gown, Patricia paired it with an emerald necklace, bracelet, and earrings by Crivelli.
Mariacarla Boscono
Mariacarla Boscono, the Italian model and actress, took over the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival in a gorgeous red wine-hued gown.
