Taylor Russell Brings 1940s Style in Vintage Galliano at 2024 Venice Film Festival

Taylor Russell attended a jury photo call during the 2024 Venice Film Festival on Wednesday. Russell, alongside other international critics, filmmakers, and actors, will help decide the winner of the Luigi de Laurentiis Award for a Debut Film.

At the photo call, Russell sported a vintage John Galliano ensemble from the designer’s spring 1995 collection. Channeling the hourglass silhouettes of 1940s skirt suits, Russell’s look consisted of a checkered tailored blazer featuring a flared hem, as well as a matching slit midi skirt. The actress accessorized with diamond studs and sheer Gianvito Rossi pumps.

Russell wore her brunette pixie cut with micro bangs, while her makeup included rosy blush and a muted russet lip.

Stylist Jahleel Weaver, who is also known for dressing Rihanna and Dua Lipa, curated Russell’s latest look.

The “Bones and All” star has been a global ambassador for Loewe since 2022. She’s since posed for the label’s ad campaigns and opened their spring 2023 runway show in Paris. Jonathan Anderson, Loewe’s creative director, met Russell through a mutual friend: Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino.

“Jonathan has been at the forefront of creativity in fashion, with such a distinct vision and voice,” Russell said in a statement following the announcement of her ambassadorship. “I am excited for our imaginations to reach new heights as we explore and collaborate in this incredibly special partnership.”

The Venice Film Festival, held annually in Venice, features new motion pictures from around the world. The 2024 jury is led by actress Isabelle Huppert, while this year’s festival includes high-profile premieres of Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” Pedro Almodovar’s “The Room Next Door” and Todd Phillips’ “Joker: Folie à Deux” among other films.
