Taylor Russell favored an effortless, ethereal style for the 2024 Venice Film Festival red carpet on Thursday. The actress attended the premiere of Pablo Larraín’s “Maria,” starring Angelina Jolie as famed Opera singer Maria Callas.
For the red carpet event, Russell wore a custom strapless chiffon midi dress courtesy of Loewe. The delicate dress featured a flowing skirt and defined waist, with subtle fabric ruching on the bodice. The dress also featured a slit in the front and the addition of a scarf element, which framed Russell’s shoulders and flowed down the actress’ back.
Along with her ethereal sartorial statement, Russell wore strappy sandal heels courtesy of Amina Muaddi. Russell accessorized her ensemble with delicate pieces of silver jewelry, including bracelet, necklace and earrings, by Tiffany & Co. The actress’ entire look was curated by Jahleel Weaver, who’s also worked with Rihanna.
