Lights, Camera, Couture! As the prestigious Venice International Film Festival was scaled back last year due to Covid-19, 2021 finally marked the return of its dazzling spectacle. 

This year's festival featured Oscar worthy lineups like Dune, Parallel Mothers, Spencer and The Power of the Dog (to name a few).

Speaking of film festivals, one is never complete without the extravagant flair. The 'Floating City' saw the arrival of Tinseltown's heavyweights in full couture force, as they embarked on water taxis to the premieres of their highly anticipated films.

From Zendaya's jaw-dropping 'wet' glam look to the breathtaking Chanel couture worn by Penélope Cruz and Kristen Stewart, I've rounded up the most fittingly dressed celebs.
