The best menswear at Venice Film Festival 2025

From Jacob Elordi in Bottega Veneta to Dwayne Johnson in Saint Laurent

Words: Zak Maoui

Held down on the Lido di Venezia and hosted by La Biennale di Venezia, the Venice Film Festival, alongside the Cannes Film Festival, is one of the starriest film fests in the world. Year-on-year swarms of critically-acclaimed actors, directors and writers make their mark on the pontoons of Venice.

Spanning almost two weeks, it is an event that is as much about the clothes the celebrities are wearing as it is the films that bring the stars to the canals in the first place. The 2025 Venice Film Festival has so far seen the likes of Frankenstein actor Jacob Elordi, The Smashing Machine's Dwayne Johnson and director Luca Guadagnino pull out some showstopping looks.

Below, take a look at the best-dressed men from Venice Film Festival 2025...
