I knew her red carpet looks were going to be predominantly black, but I was hoping she would give me something to be excited about.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t bad per se, and the asymmetric neckline and exaggerated volume certainly give it presence, but it is a bit forgettable. Considering how much I have enjoyed some of Maggie\u2019s looks away from the red carpet this week, I\u2019m still waiting for one of her premiere gowns to really excite me.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Nelson, Did You Kill People?

She looked like a beautiful mermaid, with the dress appearing to shift between turquoise, aqua and silver as it caught the light.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/bhavitha-mandava-chanel-mr-nelson-premiere-venice-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Back of Bhavitha Mandava wearing a blue and green sequin-embroidered Chanel Resort 2027 dress at the Mr. Nelson, Did You Kill People? premiere in Venice.\" class=\"wp-image-631630\"  \/>Daniele Venturelli\/WireImage<\/p>\n<p>The Chanel ambassador completed her look with statement Chanel earrings and silver Aquazzura So Nude sandals, which I much prefer to the barefoot sandals we saw on the runway.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/chanel-resort-2027-credit-gorunway-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-631643\"  \/>Chanel Resort 2027<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/marina-ruy-barbosa-miss-sohee-mr-nelson-premiere-venice-2026-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Marina Ruy Barbosa wears a custom white Miss Sohee pearl and chiffon gown at the Mr. Nelson, Did You Kill People? premiere in Venice.\" class=\"wp-image-631632\"  \/>Earl Gibson III\/Deadline via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Marina Ruy Barbosa wore a custom Miss Sohee pearl and chiffon gown inspired by the Spring 2024 collection, which was originally presented in blue on the runway.

Between the pearl-encrusted corsetry, the flowing chiffon and her Rapunzel-like hair, she looks as though she has stepped straight out of a storybook.<\/p>\n<p>And considering her Intimissimi look from the previous premiere, this is a complete 180. My head is in a tailspin trying to keep up with Marina\u2019s Venice wardrobe.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/00007-miss-sohee-spring-2024-couture-credit-gorunway.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>Miss Sohee Spring 2024 Couture<\/p>\n<p>The Basics of Philosophy Premiere<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sofia-boutella-stella-mccartney-basics-of-philosophy-venice-2026-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Sofia Boutella wears a black Stella McCartney Pre-Fall 2026 dress at The Basics of Philosophy world premiere during the Venice Film Festival.\" class=\"wp-image-631633\"  \/>Aurore Marechal\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Leading lady Sofia Boutella celebrated the world premiere in this Stella McCartney Pre-Fall 2026 dress. Sadly, the dress failed to rise to the occasion. The draped neckline is beautiful, but the creases dulled my enthusiasm for such a major moment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/stella-mccartney-pre-fall-2026-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-631641\"  \/>Stella McCartney Pre-Fall 2026<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"703\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/dana-delany-saint-laurent-basics-of-philosophy-venice-2026-703x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Dana Delany wears a burgundy Saint Laurent lace top and skirt at The Basics of Philosophy premiere during the Venice Film Festival.\" class=\"wp-image-631634\"  \/>Daniele Venturelli\/WireImage<\/p>\n<p>We have seen this Saint Laurent Pre-Fall 2026 ribbon-accented lace top and skirt a few times now, but this rich burgundy version gives the look a new lease of life on Dana Delany. The colour makes a considerable difference, especially with the gold lace detailing. The matching burgundy shoes help sell this look to me.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/saint-laurent-pre-fall-2026-credit-brand-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-631642\"  \/>Saint Laurent Pre-Fall 2026<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"739\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/geena-davis-elie-saab-basics-of-philosophy-venice-2026-739x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Geena Davis wears a black sequin Elie Saab gown at The Basics of Philosophy premiere during the 2026 Venice Film Festival.\" class=\"wp-image-631635\"  \/>Aurore Marechal\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Geena Davis was oozing old-school Hollywood glamour in this black Elie Saab gown. The sequins, classic silhouette and diamond jewellery make this exactly the kind of red carpet glamour I want from someone like Geena.

The simplicity of the look provides the perfect canvas for her stunning Crivelli necklace.
