Incognito Mode—On
It’s no secret that Angelina Jolie is a major fan of the trench coat. Often her go-to for travel looks, it was no surprise to see another in rotation within her festival wardrobe. This time she went for a short-sleeved option, giving us serious inspiration for now and later dressing. Opt for a trench sans sleeves to keep you cool during these end-of-summer heatwaves. Come fall, it can be layered effortlessly with sweaters and leather jackets underneath for extra warmth. A knee-high, stiletto boot, oversized shades, and a classic watch make for timeless and elevated finishing touches.

Downtown With a Twist
Taylor Russell often turns heads on the red carpet with her fashion-forward choices, but her off-duty looks are equally as noteworthy. This one merges the actor’s city-forward style with a little bit of Italian riviera glamor, thanks in part to the accessories she chose. Thank goodness for us, it’s a cinch to replicate. All you need is a leather moto jacket, a cool, straight-leg jean in a vintage wash, then top it off with a silk headscarf, vintage-inspired frames, a nude, strappy kitten heel and ecco!—another winning combination.

Puttin’ on the Ritz
Sojourney Weaver kept it classic and comfortable for her recent arrival during the festival events. Possibly drawing inspiration from the city of canals itself, her tailored look fit right in with the old-world surroundings. When taking yours out for a spin, focus on clean lines and serious structure. Invest in a luxe, double-breasted blazer, add a silk button down and flowy trouser pants underneath and complete with a simple, leather waist belt for maximum impact. A fresh pair of white sneakers is walking-appropriate and give a touch of undone sophistication to the overall feel.

Prep School Remixed
While Jenna Ortega has been channeling a bit of Tim Burton mischief throughout her Beetlejuice Beetlejuice press tour looks, this Venice street style combo evokes more of a back-to-school vibe, with a grown-up twist. Prep-inspired staples like a checked or plaid blazer worn with pleated, khaki shorts feel fashion-forward, while a lug-sole loafer (we love this oxblood colorway) and versatile, crossbody bag make for the best accessories that have that collegiate feel.

Utilitarian On the Move
Jessica Chastain proves that on-the-go dressing can also mean stylishly pulled together. A tailored, denim jumpsuit serves as the starting (and focal) point; it’s a one-and-done garment that doesn’t require extra thought or complicated styling. (Bonus—when the temperatures dip, it can be styled under your favorite blazer or coat.) A comfy kick will keep you moving, whether through security at the airport or rolling your carry-on luggage down a cobblestone street. And for a little taste of Hollywood A-list style, always have designer sunglasses on hand.
