Of all the events that 2024 has seen, the Venice Film Festival has got to go down as our favourite. Exclusive, classy and culturally paramount, the weekend was swirling with some gold standard beauty looks on the best of the best. If you weren’t already glued to updates on social media, we’ve brought you some of the most groundbreaking looks from the Italian weekend of beauty, fashion and films. Get ready to be blown away, because we sure were.
Lady Gaga
Will she ever lose her flair for causing a stir? We hope not. Lady Gaga’s bold, yet subtle change of bleaching her brows made all the difference to her look. Her blonde hair and brows stood out in contrast to her all-black smokey eye and ensemble.
Angelina Jolie
The queen who is sculpted to the GODS opted to keep her base simple and even-toned and brought all the drama with her smokey eyes and classique French red lips. She blessed us with the re-emergence of her striking blonde locks this weekend, and the whole look was just *chef’s kiss*.
Úrsula Corberó
The Money Heist star opted to lay down her edges paying homage to the 1920s and kept makeup to a minimum. Her base was dewy and radiant, to emulate that lit-from-within glow. Her eyebrows were groomed to look natural and neat and glossed lips and the slightest tinge of blush added the finishing touches.
Emily Ratajowski
One of my personal favourite makeup looks from this event- Emily has struck the perfect balance between bronzed goddess and sun-kissed flush. The monochromatic bronze makeup with the contrasting highlight in the corners of her eyes is absolutely giving this look life. It’s subtle, but still striking.
Sydney Sweeney
Sydney stuck with her signature bratz doll-style makeup. Fanned-out, voluminous lashes, classic black eyeliner and pinky-nude lips once again stunned everyone and proved that less really is more. Her romantic waves brought the look together neatly and glamorously.
Winona Ryder
As per usual, Winona’s edgy style did not disappoint. She went in for a mid-2000s style hair bun-yes, the kind we’ve tried to recreate in our rooms at 3 am- and let her front bangs come out to play. Heavy eyeliner dominated her bottom, as well as her top lids. The rest of her face sported nude tones to enhance her natural beauty.
Ncuti Gatwa
This blonde buzzcut deserves a moment. Ncuti really knew what he was doing with the hairdo and his moustache and chinstrap beard- a touch of genius.
George Clooney
If ageing like fine wine had to be defined, just whip out a photograph of this man. Perfectly cropped salt-pepper hair, clean-shaven and flawless skin and an ultra-natural smile- have some mercy, George.
Daniel Craig
The former 007 has taken a complete 360 with his new look. He debuted a long, shaggy haircut and his signature stubble made an appearance. Suave, no matter what avatar he chooses.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson
The English heartthrob came armed with looks to kill. He sported his dreamily curly hair in a shorter length than we’re used to and his stubble and neckbeard added a rugged edge to the look.
