The 2022 Venice Film Festival has begun, with a glittering opening ceremony and red carpet.

Jury members, including Julianne Moore, and White Noise stars were joined by A-listers to attend the opening gala night.

Naturally, Italian fashion houses were the sartorial go-to for many of the famous faces in attendance. Moore chose a black sheer, sequinned Valentino gown for the red carpet. Black sequinned gowns, it seems, were the unofficial uniform for the event, with many stars choosing variations of a similar subtly sparkling design.

The Pierpaolo Piccioli-helmed label also dressed White Noise star Raffey Cassidy, who wore a sheer mini, with sequinned embellishment and a feathered skirt.

Model and actress Jodie Turner-Smith chose a Gucci design for the opening night, wearing a black dress with sequin detail, accessorised with a pair of lime green gloves. She was also dressed in Gucci earlier in the day for a White Noise photocall, where she wore a light pink negligee-style dress, with white boots and baby blue gloves.

Armani dressed a number of the opening ceremony red carpet attendees, including model Barbara Palvin, who wore a black sequinned gown; American actress Tessa Thompson; British singer Pixie Lott and her model husband, Oliver Cheshire. Thompson ensured all eyes were on her when she arrived on the red carpet wearing a structured peplum Armani design, layered over a black sequinned skirt and accessorised with a pair of statement sunglasses.

Jury member Iranian actress Leila Hatami wore a black dress with a headscarf to walk the opening ceremony red carpet, while American politician Hillary Clinton chose a baby blue kaftan to attend the event.

The Venice International Film Festival runs until September 10, with a number of highly anticipated films set to premiere at the event, including Blonde, Don't Worry Darling and The Whale.

A number of regional films are also set to show at the festival, including Wissam Charaf's Dirty Difficult Dangerous, Algerian-born filmmaker Rachid Hami's For My Country (Pour la France) and Hanging Gardens, the debut feature from Iraqi filmmaker Ahmed Yassin Al Daradji.
