Armani’s Enduring Influence at the Venice Film Festival
By Editor • September 7, 2026 • 1 min read
The Venice International Film Festival, now in its 83rd edition, continues to reflect the legacy of Giorgio Armani, even as it marks the first year without the designer himself. From the iconic suits on the red carpet to the branded boats navigating the canals, Armani's presence is felt throughout the event, showcasing his lasting impact on both fashion and film.
Armani Beauty returns as the official beauty sponsor for the ninth consecutive year, introducing its exclusive Armani Cinema Club. This year, the brand is spotlighting a new generation of stars such as Jonathan Bailey, Sydney Sweeney, and Nicholas Galitzine, who embody the fresh talent of the film industry. Notably, George Clooney celebrated his Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement award in a classic Armani tuxedo, further underscoring the brand's significance at the festival.
Global makeup artist Hiromi Ueda emphasizes the intimate connection between makeup and storytelling, inspired by the world of cinema. Drawing on influences like Marlene Dietrich and Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda, Ueda’s approach to makeup aims to enhance natural beauty rather than mask it. This philosophy resonates deeply with the timeless elegance associated with Armani, marking the brand’s pivotal role in shaping not just red carpet fashion but the broader cinematic landscape.
