Tag: Venice Film Festival

Say it once, twice, three times’ the charm…The stars were out in full force for this year’s Venice Film Festival, which included the premiere of ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’, Tim Burton’s much-anticipated sequel to the 1988 original film, and Angelina Jolie’s magnificent return to the silver screen playing the opera singer Maria Callas in ‘Maria’. And they brought a stellar assortment of high jewellery with them for the occasion…

Cate Blanchett

Leading the pack, as usual, was the effortlessly elegant Cate Blanchett, who chose to rewear a custom Louis Vuitton High Jewellery necklace crafted from repurposed metal, pearls and precious stones. The actor has previously collaborated multiple times with Louis Vuitton’s creative director of jewellery, Francesca Amfitheatrof, on jewels that re-use existing materials. She originally wore the same shoulder-skimming piece to the Cannes Film Festival in May.

As before, the shoulder necklace features 47 white Akoya pearls, 33 grey Tahitian pearls and 633 diamonds taken from three other High Jewellery designs.

Sienna Miller

In Venice to promote her latest film Marion, which she executive produced, Miller wore a spectacular black cutaway gown paired with an Enchanted Lotus high jewellery white diamond necklace from De Beers.

Jenna Ortega

One of the stars of the show, Jenna Ortega, rocked the red carpet in a scarlet Dior gown (a clever nod to the red wedding gown worn by her on-screen mother, Lydia Deets, in the original Beetlejuice film) and a selection of thorny, diamond-studded Bois de Rose jewels, also by Dior.

Taylor Russell

Taylor Russell channelled old-school glamour in a vintage Chanel gown and an assortment of sparkly pieces from Tiffany & Co., including a classic Elsa Perretti Bone Cuff (this piece featured a white finished over a copper base), Tiffany Victoria earrings with diamonds and pearls and white gold and platinum rings.

The following day, Russell attended the debut of Angelina Jolie’s newest film, ‘Maria’, wearing a different suite of Tiffany & Co jewels. This time, Russell adorned herself with a platinum and diamond pendant (worn backwards, so the pendant shimmered at the nape of her neck), a dramatic cuff bracelet featuring a central orange sapphire of over 10 carats, and a pair of Jean Schlumberger floral ear clips in platinum, diamonds and 18k yellow gold.

Mariacarla Boscono

Model Mariacarla Boscono stuck to the monochrome dress code with her outfit, but added a suitably ‘buggy’ dash of colour with Pomellato’s Princess necklace, featuring a 53-carat oval cabochon-cut green tourmaline and over 2,000 diamonds. A clutch of rose gold and white diamond Iconica and Nudo rings completed her look.

Justin Theroux

Blink, and you might miss the diamond Tiffany & Co Bird on a Rock pin adorning Justin Theroux’s dapper white jacket (the Jean Schlumberger design is proving a popular choice when it comes to fabulous men’s red carpet jewels right now). Peeking out from the actor’s cuffs were the brand’s Curb link bracelet in 18k gold and its classic Union Square watch in yellow gold with a custom black leather strap.

Zhang Ziyi

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon actor, Zhang Ziyi, accessorised her velvet gown and hat with a pair of standout earrings by Chopard.

Camille Cottin

French actor and comedian Camille Cottin also looked to New York jeweller Tiffany & Co for a sprinkling of diamonds to adorn her all red look at the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice premiere. She chose the Tiffany HardWear necklace in white gold and pavé diamonds, plus a pair of platinum and diamond stud earrings and and diamond Edge ring.

Adrien Brody

Brody adorned his all-black ensemble with a dramatic shoulder brooch by contemporary jewellery artist, Elsa Jin. The piece, entitled “Life 2023 Treasure 01” is just one of a number of Jin’s brooches that Brody has worn to recent events, including a “frozen angel” pin created in 2020 to this year’s Met Gala, a bamboo-inspired brooch to the the Berlin International Film Festival and a yellow pearl-adorned pin for the premiere of his film Asteroid City at last year’s Cannes Film Festival.

Angelina Jolie

In Venice to celebrate her biographical drama ‘Maria’, which premiered at the Festival, Jolie appeared in a set of diamond jewels from London-based Jessica McCormack. The actor chose McCormack’s pear-shaped diamond Gypset earrings and a sparkling diamond Button Back ring.

Jolie later turned up to a photo call to promote her latest biopic wearing Callas’ own Cartier panther brooch. The pin features a gold panther with emerald eyes atop a carved piece of chalcedony, and was bought by Callas from the Maison in 1971.

Rachel Weisz

Weisz hit the Venice red carpet wearing a suite of white gold and round cut diamond jewels from Boucheron. She paired her strapless gown with the maison’s Serpent Bohème Solarité Multi-Motifs collar necklace, plus matching stud earrings and ring.

Felicity Jones

British actor Felicity Jones looked pretty in pink, adorned with a suite of white diamond jewels, also from Boucheron. Jones wore the Vendôme Liseré earrings, plus the matching ring and bracelet.

Sophie Wilde

Australian actor Sophie Wilde attended the red carpet premiere for new film ‘Babygirl’ wearing white gold and diamond earrings plus a matching bracelet from Cartier.

Ncuti Gatwa

‘Doctor Who’ and ‘Barbie‘ star, Ncuti Gatwa, sparkled at the premiere of ‘Babygirl’ in a dramatic white gold and diamond earring by Messika.

Kaya Scodelario

Kaya Scodelario, star of Netflix series ‘The Gentlemen‘, chose a handful of diamond jewels from Bulgari for her red carpet appearance at the screening of ‘Babygirl’, including a pair of high jewellery earrings set with five different diamond cuts, plus white gold Serpenti viper bracelets and matching rings.

Eva Green

Green opted for purple for the red carpet premiere of ‘Battlefield’, and accessorised with a clutch of high jewellery pieces from Chopard. Her hoop earrings featured 23.22 carats of emerald-cut diamonds, whilst one of three dramatic rings she chose, seen here, was set with a 40.66 carat rhodolite and almost 2 carats of diamonds.

Poppy Delevigne

Poppy Delevigne swanned up the red carpet in sleek black tuxedo suit paired with a suite of feathery white diamond creations from Parisian maison Boucheron. She chose the Plume de Paon pendant earrings, plus a large and smaller ring, all crafted in 18k white gold and set with rose-cut diamonds. The model is a well-known fan of the brand, having worn a pair of its large white gold and diamond hoop earrings to an event earlier this summer, and a suite of the maison’s jewels to the Fashion Awards back in 2022.

Camila Mendes

Actor Camila Mendes opted for pieces by the Roman jeweller, Bulgari. She chose a high jewellery ‘Monete’ choker featuring an ancient coin, a Tubogas bracelet and B.Zero1 earrings plus a matching ring.

George Clooney

Clooney, a long-standing Omega ambassador, chose a classic Omega De Ville Hour Vision watch to attend the premiere of his latest film, Wolfs.

Kate Beckinsale

For the annual amFAR gala, host Kate Beckinsale opted for Pomellato’s ‘Sabbia’ pendant earrings with pavé white, brown and black diamonds, an adjacent pair of white diamond Nudo earrings and a Nudo ring with a faceted praisolite (to match her green-tinted manicure).
