Venice Film Festival
All the pics from the glamorous Italian film festival
Shia LaBeouf
Shia LaBeouf was suited up and suave as ever at the premiere of new movie, The Company You Keep, last week. The actor donned his best bow-tie and slicked back his hair in classic Hollywood style to appear on the red carpet alongside director and movie legend, Robert Redford.
PAJosephine De La Baume
Josephine De La Baume looked her typically smokin’ hot self over the weekend as she attended the photo call for upcoming movie Kiss Of The Damned. The French model and actress eschewed the typical gowns customary of the festival and instead plumped for a lace jumpsuit.
Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez wowed on the red carpet at the premiere of her new movie Spring Breakers in Venice last night. The Disney actress looked every inch the Hollywood star when she stepped out in a dramatic Versace Atelier gown, which she teamed with Sergio Rossi heels and a Judith Leiber clutch.
Rex FeaturesVanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens didn’t scrub up too badly for the Spring Breakers premiere, either. The star wore a plunging, embellished Temperley London gown, piling her hair on top of her head to form a cool bun.
Rex FeaturesAshley Benson
Completing the trio of female stars was Ashley Benson, who took to the red carpet wearing a strapless blue Alberta Ferretti gown to the Spring Breakers premiere.
Rex FeaturesJames Franco
The gobsmackingly good looking James Franco, who stars alongside Gomez and Hudgens in Spring Breakers, cut quite the dash on the red carpet in Venice.
Rex FeaturesVanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Rachel Korine & Ashley Benson
Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Rachel Korine and Ashley Benson were pictured looking sophisticated at a photo call in Venice for their new movie, Spring Breakers. The film’s plot - which sees the girls’ characters landed in jail for robbing a bank to fund their spring break trip - is a far cry from the safer subject matter that former Disney starlets Vanessa Hudgens of High School Musical fame and Selena Gomez, star of Wizards Of Waverley Place, are familiar with. The foursome star alongside James Franco, who plays a drugs and arms dealer named Alien that bails them out and simultaneously sucks them into his world.
Rex FeaturesSelena Gomez
Selena Gomez stole the show at the Spring Breakers photo call, wearing a beautiful black and gold lace overlay Dolce & Gabbana dress. The film is considerable departure from the previous roles the dazzling Disney star has played. She said: "It's an independent movie and it's a little bit smaller but it's a very different role than anything I've done before.”
Rex FeaturesVanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens looked grown-up and glamorous in this black leaf-printed dress by Blumarine at the Spring Breakers photocall. The actress opted for natural make-up and a curly bob to complement the 50s-style, off-the-shoulder number. Hudgens’ ultimate Venice accessory? Her boyfriend, fellow actor Austin Butler, who has been her date throughout the film festival.
Rex FeaturesAshley Benson
Ashley Benson, who stars in the hit American TV show Pretty Little Liars, looked chic in a nude shift dress at the Spring Breakers photo call. Her sartorial selection was at odds with the wardrobe of the new film, which sees Ash and her three co-stars scantily clad in neon bikinis and other risqué ensembles.
Rex FeaturesAustin Butler & Vanessa Hudgens
Of course, wherever Vanessa Hudgens goes, her boyfriend Austin Butler never seems far behind. The Disney actor turned out to support his girlfriend at the premiere of her new movie, Spring Breakers, in Venice yesterday.
Rex FeaturesShia LaBeouf
Doesn’t Shia LaBeouf scrub up well! The actor slicked his barnet back especially for the photocall for his new movie, The Company You Keep. The Lawless star acts alongside Julie Christie, Susan Sarandon and Stanley Tucci in the thriller, which is about a fugitive who is forced out of hiding after 30 years to prove his innocence.

We spotted Vanessa Hudgens arriving at the 9th Venice Film Festival yesterday. The actress arrived with boyfriend Austin Butler to promote her new movie, Spring Breakers.

A dressed down Selena Gomez arrived sans Bieber to board the Spring Breakers party boat, too.
Getty ImagesAshley Benson
As did fellow Spring Breakers co-star Ashley Benson, who flicked the peace sign at photographers on her way to the canal.
Rex FeaturesRachel Weisz
Rachel Weisz certainly made an impact at the Venice premiere of her new movie, The Bourne Legacy. The actress looked almost bridal in this tiered chiffon gown from Nina Ricci.
Rex FeaturesJoaquin Phoenix
At the premiere of The Master, Joaquin Phoenix opted for a less glamorous suit but still managed to look ruggedly handsome, if a little ruffled.
Rex FeaturesJeremy Renner
Jeremy Renner cemented his new leading man status, looking sharp in a perfectly tailored tux at the premiere of The Bourne Legacy.
Rex FeaturesKristin Scott Thomas
As elegant as ever and showing she’s still on top of the trends, 52-year-old Kristin Scott Thomas combined metallic accessories with a Giambattista Valli red, paisley-print maxi dress, as she hit the red carpet to promote her new film Cherchez Hortense.
Rex FeaturesKristin Scott Thomas
In her pale pink sundress, navy peplum jacket and fresh faced make-up, the British actress-turned-French expat looked every inch the Parisian.
Rex FeaturesLaetitia Casta
French beauty Laetitia Casta looked pretty as a peach in an embellished prom-style dress by Elie Saab. She contrasted the soft hues of her gown and shoes with an unexpected hit of bright red on her lips. Kudos.
Rex FeaturesOlga Kurylenko
Former Bond girl Olga Kurylenko gained top new season style points by combining lace and leather in her striking black Valentino gown at the premiere of the movie, To The Wonder. A discreet box clutch and drop diamond earrings were all the accessories she needed.
Rex FeaturesOlga Kurylenko
A no less glamorous embellished lace, sheer-panelled Emilio Pucci gown was Olga Kurylenko’s dress of choice for a pre-red carpet photocall. The ice blue colour highlighting her glossy raven locks.
Rex FeaturesPierce Brosnan
Working casual chic as only a former James Bond can, Pierce Brosnan kept cool in the Venice heat in a classic chinos, open-necked white shirt and linen jacket combination.
Rex FeaturesSalma Hayek
While in Venice, Salma Hayek attended the Gucci Award for Women in Cinema, where she presented an gong in a plunging, floor length black dress
Rex FeaturesWinona Ryder
Winona Ryder continued the trend for black lace that we’ve seen already (on Laetitia Casta) at the Venice Film Festival. The actress opted for a Dolce & Gabanna strapless gown with a structured bodice.
Rex FeaturesFlorence Welch
Fresh from her Reading and Leeds appearances, Florence Welch jetted over to Venice to attend Miu Miu’s Women’s Tales premiere, a series of short film screened together. The singer appropriately opted for Miu Miu, wearing a quirky pair of printed trousers and blouse for the occasion.
Rex FeaturesSpike Lee
No tuxedo or black tie here. Legendary director Spike Lee showed his support for the American Olympic & Paralympic team by wearing their jacket to the Venice Film Festival.
PA PhotosWinona Ryder
Winona Ryder looked considerably less than her 40 years at the photo call for her new movie, The Iceman. The actress wore a simple black dress and an elegant half up ‘do.
Rex FeaturesKate Hudson
Kate Hudson went for full-on glamour at the Venice Film Festival premiere of her new movie, The Reluctant Fundamentalist. She took to the red carpet in a strapless Versace Atelier gown that was embellished with Swarovski crystals, and finished off the look with Fabergé jewels and a Edie Parker clutch bag.
PA PhotosLaetitia Casta
Venice Film Festival jury member Laetitia Casta contrasted Kate Hudson’s nude gown with this black lace dress from Dolce & Gabbana. It was a risqué choice but the black bra and underwear really worked because of the heavy lacework.
Rex FeaturesNaomi Watts & Liev Schreiber
Naomi Watts opted for a Marchesa dress with a nude lace overlay and ruffled sleeves for her first public appearance at Venice. To prevent the dress from washing her out, the actress chose statement accessories: a Lanvin clutch and Chopard rose gold, drop earrings. Liev Schreiber, meanwhile, was in Ermenegildo Zegna black tie.
Rex FeaturesKate Hudson & Matt Bellamy
Kate Hudson broke into the biggest smile she could as her fiancé, Muse frontman Matt Bellamy, joined her on the red carpet in Venice.
Rex FeaturesSamantha Morton
Jury member Samantha Morton wore a two-tone dress of blue animal print and black lace from Dolce & Gabbana to the opening premiere in Venice.
Rex FeaturesNaomi Watts & Samantha Morton
Did you know these two were friends? No, nor us! Naomi Watts and Samantha Morton chatted casually at the opening party of the Venice Film Festival.
PA PhotosKate Hudson
Kate Hudson looked glamorous (and a little like Sienna Miller, we thought) as she donned a white trouser Gucci suit for the photocall of her new movie, The Reluctant Fundamentalist.
Rex FeaturesKate Hudson
Kate Hudson went for a more laid-back affair as she arrived in the Italian city. Her movie premiere marks the start of the 11-day film festival.
Rex FeaturesKate Hudson
Kate Hudson looked super-summery in a playsuit as she made her way on to a boat on the famous Venice Canal (Roberto Cavalli Florence bag first, of course).
Rex FeaturesLaetitia Casta
Model and actress Laetitia Casta posed for photos in a white croqueted dress beside the Venice Canal.
Rex FeaturesNaomi Watts & Liev Schreiber
We’re more used to seeing this couple out and about in New York, but Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber took a break from Manhattan to soak up the Italian sun for the Venice Film Festival.
