Just introduced the COVID-19 prevention measures at the 77th Venice Film Festival, let’s also take a look at the stylish pandemic-proof outfits on the red carpet! Surprisingly, “face masks” have become the most exposed item on the red carpet. When everyone is wearing a mask, female celebrities naturally have to figure out how to stand out from the crowd with their mask styles!
This year’s recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award, Tilda Swinton, stole all the attention with an extravagant face mask, becoming the most eye-catching focal point. Tilda stepped onto the red carpet at the film festival opening ceremony yesterday in a Chanel Spring/Summer 2020 Haute Couture outfit, with an elegant black and white simple style complemented by her iconic short hair, showcasing her usual aloof temperament. The most eye-catching element, of course, was the metallic face mask she wore on her hand. This three-dimensional carved metal face mask resembles the ball masks commonly seen in Venice, although it doesn’t offer much protection against viruses, its stylish appearance gives Tilda Swinton an empress-like commanding presence.
Another focus on the opening red carpet is this year’s Venice Film Festival jury president, Cate Blanchett. Cate Blanchett’s red carpet look takes an environmentally friendly route, re-wearing the dress she wore during the promotion of the 2015 film “Carol.” She doesn’t pay too much attention to the design of the masks either. When attending official events for two consecutive days, she only wears a simple light blue medical-grade protective mask. After maintaining a certain social distance, she even takes off the mask for photos. Upon arriving in Venice recently, Cate covered half of her face with a black scarf that perfectly matched her black and white suit instead of wearing a mask.
American model Taylor Hill, 24, also slayed many cameras with her mask style, wearing a floral maxi dress from Etro that showcased her perfect curves with its cut-out design. Before stepping onto the red carpet, she wore a matching floral silk mask in the crowd, interpreting mask fashion with a total look.
Apart from the three mentioned above, there are of course many guests who stand out with unique mask styles, such as an Italian internet celebrity who appeared in a silver sequin mask, paired with equally extravagant clothing and headwear, successfully attracting a lot of attention. However, whether it is aesthetically pleasing or not is left for you to judge.
Of course, there are also many people who do not want to attract attention with exaggerated mask styles. When the ceremony host, Italian actress Anna Foglietta, and famous designer Giorgio Armani’s niece Roberta Armani appeared on the red carpet together, they chose to wear cloth masks in the same color scheme as their formal attire, putting epidemic prevention first.
