Who wore what? 29 of the latest red-carpet photos from the Venice Film Festival

The curtain has almost fallen on this year's Venice Film Festival, but there are still star-studded premieres to be seen before the cinematic celebration closes.

The 77th iteration of the annual event officially wraps up on Saturday, September 12, but the past few days have featured several new A-listers arriving in the Italian city for the occasion.

British actor James Norton walked the red carpet on Thursday, while this year's jury president, Cate Blanchett, continues to be an elegant presence.

Game of Thrones actress Nathalie Emmanuel arrived in style at Venice Lido, while several slinky gowns have been spotted at premieres during the event.

The Venice Film Festival is the first major in-person film festival to be held during the coronavirus pandemic.

Because of this, those in attendance at the world's oldest film festival have to follow strict safety measures, such as wearing face masks indoors. The temperatures of those in attendance are checked and social distancing measures are in place at screenings to reduce the risk of infection. Plus, the public is barred from the red carpet.
