There’s something about international film festivals that have a preternatural ability to inspire majestic red carpet moments from Tinseltown’s finest, and such was the case at this year’s spectacle in Venice. From Diane Kruger’s burgundy Boss to Alicia Vikander’s whimsical Louis Vuitton, the range of looks all managed to echo fall’s key trends: shimmery metallics, new bohemia and sleek minimalism. Here, the best dressed at the 2015 Venice Film Festival.
