In just three days, Tessa Thompson has managed to make her mark on the 79th annual Venice International Film Festival. From her layered lace Victoria Beckham look on arrival to the vintage Armani Privé dress she wore to the festival’s opening ceremony, Thompson has shown no signs of slowing down when it comes to style moments on the red carpet.

Attending the premiere of Bardo, directed by Oscar award-winning Alejandro G Iñárritu, Thompson wore red, quite literally, from head to toe.

Thompson arrived at the event wearing a red hooded Elie Saab haute couture gown. With the dress she wore red tights, Christian Louboutin pointed pumps, and a Brandon Blackwood boxy handbag. When it came to her makeup, Thompson kept her beauty look minimal, save for the red lip, which was the perfect finishing touch.

If the past three days are anything to go by, Thompson is on her way to being the best dressed at this year’s film festival.
