Apparently sober choices, vintage quotes, diamond jewellery, lots of black. Silhouettes of complex simplicity, almost banal at first glance, but ready to become style tips that introduce the season. Plus, a preview of the creative directors who will debut on the catwalks next autumn.
Strict understatement on the opening red carpet for the film La grazia, directed by Paolo Sorrentino. Tilda Swinton in Chanel. Silk blouse and wide skirt, Sillage and Tweed Brodé rings in white gold diamonds from the maison's high jewellery collection. Cate Blanchet in Armani Privé. The vintage dress already used by the actress in 2022 at the Sag Awards, has macro opaque stones on the neckline. Optimisme earrings in white gold with two LV Monogram Star-cut diamonds from the Louis Vuitton high jewellery collection. Tony Servillo, winner of the Coppa Volpi for Best Actor, chose an impeccable single-breasted one-button dinner jacket, poplin shirt with cufflinks and hand-knotted bow tie.
Father Mother Sister Brother, written and directed by Jim Jarmush, is the winning film at the Venice Film Festival 2025, co-produced by Saint Laurent Production. On the red carpet, the director wore a tuxedo and trousers in grain de poudre wool, a poplin shirt and the ever-present SL766 all-black glasses by Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello. The fashion house also dressed Charlotte Rampling in a long silk jacket with surmounted lacing and tapered trousers, satin top and pointed ballet flats. At the premiere, Vicky Krieps made her debut as brand ambassador for Bottega Veneta in a paneled gown custom designed by new creative director Louise Trotter, in grain de poudre, with Intreccio earrings, rings and Drop bracelet from the Fine Jewellery collection.
Menswear and creative partnerships for Luca Guadagnino and Julian Schnabel. The director of After the Hunt, wore a Dior single-breasted jacket in silk with small fil-coupé flower embroidery, textured wool trousers and matt leather derbies. The whole look was designed by Jonathan Arderson, the fashion house's new creative director, with whom the close collaboration also continues on screen.
The Cartier Glory to the Filmmaker Award is dedicated to outstanding figures who have made an original contribution to the art of filmmaking. This year it went to Julian Schnabel. The award, symbolised by a trophy in the shape of a panther's head created by the Cartier High Jewellery ateliers in Paris, was mirrored on Jean Schlumberger's iconic Tiffany Bird on the Rock brooch, in platinum and yellow gold with diamonds and rubies, pinned to the artist's lapel.
