I have moved from Paris onto Venice!

The Venice Film Festival started last week. Cue the red carpets!

Here is a run-down of some of my favorite girls in my favorite Venice Film Festival 2010 frocks.

…

Natalie Portman in Rodarte at the opening ceremonies and Black Swan premiere, which opened the festival. Rodarte did all of the costumes for this film Natalie stars in- a psycological thriller set in the world of the NYC Ballet. See the trailer here. We rarely see Natalie wear strong color and I think she looks great in this red. I love the contrast of the strong color with the ethereal soft and drapey nature of the dress. Lovely.

…

Jessica Alba in Valentino at the Machete premiere (yes, the movie they cut Lindsay Lohan from).

Again with the so-called “mullet” silhouette – short in front, long in back (see my post on January Jones at the Emmys). I am kind of a fan right now- especially this super short version on Ms. Alba with her great legs. Plus, I love her pretty wispy top-knot!

…

Sofia Coppola in Louis Vuitton Resort 2011 and carrying a clutch she designed for Louis Vuitton at the Somewhere premiere, her new movie. I love Sofia, I love her unique style, I love her movies. I think this outfit is pretty cute. The sheer top section is right on trend and it so works on her. Her hair dye job is also impeccable. See the trailer for Somewhere here.

And here is adorable 12 year old Elle Fanning in an age-appropriate Marc Jacobs Resort 2011 dress at the Somewhere premiere (she is one of the stars of the movie).  That Marc Jacobs really knows how to dress his ladies of every generation (he is the Creative Director of Louis Vuitton RTW clothing as well). Cute gold mary-janes!

…

The festival closes on Saturday evening – I can’t wait to see the rest of the dresses we see come down the red carpet in the next couple of days!
