Luxurious, stunning and truly decadent is the best way to describe the Venice Film Festival and judging by these red carpet looks, this year’s event is off to a truly glamorous start.

It is reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour mixed with that very special kind of European extravagance and the opening ceremony for the Venice Film Festival has left us with serious style envy.

Notably the gorgeous Elizabeth Banks and incomparable Diane Kruger looked like actual angels dressed in white.

Elizabeth oozed sophistication in a Dolce & Gabbana gown with an open back encrusted with the most beautiful jewels.

Much like her pal Liz, Diane Kruger stunned in Prada. The white gown came with its own cape, cementing her as a modern day red carpet super hero.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard made a few appearance at the Venice Film Festival, putting on a very amorous display for the cameras. This is the first time the couple have been seen together in almost five months.

Woah, you’ve changed! Johnny was once one of the most lusted after men in the entire world, pictured here (L) in 2004, but these days he’s looking very different (R). His dishevelled appearance over the weekend raised more than a few eyebrows.
