The 2020 Venice Film Festival: the best dressed attendees at the first international film competition held since Covid-19 began

How the 2020 Venice Film Festival took place during a pandemic

Hollywood stars turned heads on the red carpet at the 77th Venice International Film Festival—which took place despite Covid-19 with the help of safety measures

Highlights on the world’s cultural calendar have been cancelled en masse this year in the wake of Covid-19. The 77th Venice International Film Festival, which took place from September 2 to 12, was the first international film festival to be held since the pandemic began—albeit a streamlined, semi-digital version.

It was the perfect opportunity to see how social distancing would work at a high-profile event on a large scale. Attendees also had the privilege of feasting their eyes on red carpet fashion for the first time in nine months. As one of the premier events of the year, the festival is usually attended by over 10,000 guests from across the globe, from moviegoers to Hollywood A-listers. This year, however, event organisers made a conscious effort to keep the festival low key.

Celebrities sighted Travel was another matter entirely as border restrictions remain a quagmire even for celebrities. Famed Hong Kong director Ann Hui, who was awarded a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement, nearly missed the event due to difficulties finding a flight. But in the end she managed to collect her award in person and witness the world premiere of her out-of-competition film Love After Love.

Although the event might not have boasted the same star-studded line-up of previous years, jury president Cate Blanchett provided some much-needed star power, bringing out all the stops on the red carpet.

Not even a socially-distanced red carpet could quench the style of the film world’s glitterati, who showed that glamour is still very much alive through coordinating eye-catching face masks with each outfit, and much more.

Check out the best-dressed attendees at the 2020 Venice Film Festival.
