Paris Jackson steals spotlight at Venice event

(Web News)The Venice International Film Festival is not just about cinema, but it’s also a runway for global fashion.

Hollywood’s elite made their way to a glamorous dinner hosted by designer Tom Ford at the historic Palazzo Contarini Polignac, turning the canals of Venice into a red-carpet spectacle.

Among the most striking arrivals was Paris Jackson, daughter of the late King of Pop Michael Jackson.

The 27-year-old model and actress stunned in a glittering, figure-hugging purple gown that accentuated her toned frame.

She paired the look with a sparkling gold clutch and towering Christian Louboutin heels, while her blonde curls were styled in loose waves.

Paris looked every bit the star, waving to fans as she stepped off the boat and into the event.

Joining her was Swedish actress Noomi Rapace, 45, who brought classic elegance to the night in a strapless black gown featuring a dramatic velvet bow.

Her slicked-back hair and bold red lipstick added a sharp edge to the look, which she completed with silver hoop earrings.

Also commanding attention was British screen legend Tilda Swinton. At 64, she showcased her timeless sense of style in a shimmering silver dress with a daring thigh-high slit, cinched at the waist with a black leather belt.

She arrived hand-in-hand with Haider Ackermann, Tom Ford’s creative director, making quite the fashionable duo.

The guest list reflected Ford’s ability to blend Hollywood glamour with high-fashion artistry. Pose star Indya Moore opted for a sleek, form-fitting black dress with asymmetrical sleeves, accessorised with chic sunglasses, drop earrings, and a delicate choker.

Meanwhile, Vogue beauty editor Tish Weinstock turned heads in a daring semi-sheer sequinned gown with a feathered skirt, paired with retro-style shades and bold red lipstick.

Venice hosted another dazzling moment as Julia Roberts premiered her film After The Hunt.

The 57-year-old Oscar winner looked regal in a navy gown, walking the red carpet alongside her co-stars Andrew Garfield, Ayo Edebiri, and Chloë Sevigny.

Roberts’ understated glamour – soft waves, silver jewellery, and minimal fuss – was a sharp contrast to the high-octane fashion that later dominated Tom Ford’s dinner.

Ayo Edebiri of The Bear brought a burst of colour in a strapless red gown featuring a statement bow at the back, while Chloë Sevigny embraced her signature eclectic style in a black lace one-piece with a layered ruffle skirt.

For Paris Jackson, the evening marked yet another reminder of her growing place in Hollywood’s fashion scene.

Often praised for her daring red-carpet choices, she has steadily carved out her own identity beyond her famous surname.
