On the third day of the Venice International Film Festival, he marked a moment destined to enter the Annals of the Festival: For the first time Julia Roberts ties the red carpet of the Lidoprotagonist of Luca Guadagnino’s highly anticipated film. The American diva, a symbol of an idea of Hollywood who has been able to combine charm and authority, brings with it an aura of waiting that is reflected in the applause of the public and in the burst of flash that accompany every step.
The presence of Roberts, an icon that belongs both to the popular imagination and to the history of contemporary cinema, gives the edition a further value, a sort of consecration that combines the authorial gaze of earnings to the universal call of the star. Next to her, the red carpet becomes the theater of a meeting between worlds: the Italian author’s cinema, loved and respected in the most prestigious international festivals, and the Hollywood glamor that amplifies the resonance of the event well beyond the borders of the lagoon.
The clothes chosen for the occasion, the style details that multiply between guests and actresses, and the refined balance between classical elegance and contemporary experimentation confirm the red carpet as a collective rite, space in which fashion dialogues with cinema and in which the images become an integral part of the story. Julia Roberts’ arrival gives the third day of the exhibition a special dimension: not only the celebration of an expected film, but the meeting between one of the most loved interpreters of all time and a festival that continues to impose itself as a global crossroads of art, glamor and visual memory.
