Sydney Sweeney led the celebrities who came out on Friday at the Venice Film Festival.
It is customary for actors and filmmakers to look forward to visiting Laguna City for the premiere of their movies.
Nevertheless, there won’t be as much glitter this year due to a Hollywood actors’ strike that will prohibit many celebrities from promoting their work here.
However, Sydney, the actress from Euphoria, arrived in the gorgeous city with ease and looked effortlessly chic as she left for a boat ride with pals on Friday.
Sydney, 25, completed her outfit with a white bag, sunglasses, peep-toe heels, and a green spaghetti strap dress with white piping.
Sydney’s companion grabbed hold of her when she threw her hands in the air, having been helped onto the boat.
Along with her partner Jack Martin, Lili Reinhart, who is best known for playing Betty Cooper in the teen drama series Riverdale, also rode a water taxi.
The 26-year-old actress grinned as the boat sailed around the city and she soaked in the amazing surroundings.
On Friday, Olga Kurylenko, 43, was also present. The Bond actress appeared at the 80th Film Festival sporting a blue jumpsuit that showcased her sense of style.
Demet Ozdemir and Beatrice Vendramin were seen traveling into the city just for the event.
Wes Anderson, the director of The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, was present for a photocall in the meantime.
It is a version of the Roald Dahl tale about a wealthy man who decides to develop a remarkable ability in order to cheat at gambling.
Additionally, Mads Mikkelsen showed up at a picture call for the film Bastarden (The Promised Land).
He portrays Ludvig Kahlen, the main character, a destitute soldier who comes in 1755 to the desolate Jutland heath to obey the king’s command to cultivate the land in order to become wealthy and gain glory for himself.
However, Kahlen turns adversary swiftly. Starring with her is Amanda Collin.
Despite dire predictions of a mass no-show by big studio productions, festival artistic director Alberto Barbera is facing the anticipated disruption head-on and has managed to draw one of the strongest lineups in recent years.
We are aware that certain talented people will be unable to attend. However, some others will attend since they are employed by independent filmmakers. Thus, everything is OK. It appears to be quite promising.
Beyond the picturesque canals of Venice, the film industry is engulfed in a state of crisis as major U.S. actors’ and writers’ union strikes have rendered most of the entertainment sector impassable.
“The next (release) season and the awards season as well will be severely harmed if the strikes continue,” Barbera stated.
The entire film and television industries have come to a full halt because no one in Hollywood wants to be perceived as being on the wrong side of the strikers.
The actors’ union, SAG-AFTRA, went on strike on July 14th, after the writers’ union, the WGA, which had gone on strike on May 2.
