2022 was a vintage year at Venice Film Festival, particularly when it came to the red carpet. A whole host of stars, including Penélope Cruz, Tessa Thompson and Isabelle Huppert, opted to wear archival pieces – further evidence that the vintage boom we’ve seen on the red carpet of late isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Of course, vintage isn’t a new thing, with the likes of Cruz and Huppert, among others, often wearing pieces from the fashion vaults over the years. Back in 2018, Lady Gaga wore a white Azzedine Alaïa dress for the Venice premiere of A Star Is Born, while Irina Shayk sported a dazzling Versace number from spring/summer 1996 at the same event.
Ahead of this year’s Venice Film Festival, take a look back at the best vintage looks to have graced the Lido to date.
