September 3, 2024

British actor Joe Alwyn graced the 81st Venice International Film Festival in two fashionable Gucci ensembles. Attending the festival for his role in his latest cinematic achievement "The Brutalist," Alwyn dressed to impress.

As the Venetian sun cast its golden glow over the Palazzo del Casino, Alwyn emerged in a Gucci Spring Summer 2025 razor-sharp black suit. Classic tailoring brought out contemporary edge; a winning combination for the rising star.

Alwyn completed the look with black leather Chelsea boots, adding a hint of western elegance, and Gucci black frame sunglasses, which lent him a touch of mystery.

For the evening premiere of "The Brutalist," Alwyn graced the red carpet once more. This time, he stunned in a custom Gucci Bordeaux suit, its tonal intarsia detailing a testament to exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail.

A crisp shirt a few shades brighter, paired with a matching knotted tie, lent the look a monochrome finish. With polished lace-up shoes, Alwyn cut a figure of timeless elegance. His finishing touch was a pair of Gucci brown frame sunglasses, adding a hint of Hollywood glamour to complete the look.

Alwyn's appearance was a fitting prelude to the ambitious film, "The Brutalist." This nearly four-hour epic, directed by Brady Corbet, has been hailed as a masterpiece by critics, drawing comparisons to titans of cinema like "The Godfather" and "There Will Be Blood."

Set over 30 years, the film explores the life of László Tóth (Adrien Brody), a Hungarian-born Jewish architect who survived the Holocaust. After emigrating to the US with his wife (Felicity Jones), Tóth's life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters the mysterious Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce). Shot in 70mm to capture the widescreen feel of its 1950s setting, "The Brutalist" received a stunning 13-minute standing ovation at its Venice premiere, marking it as one of the festival's most acclaimed entries.

Celebrity style at events like the Venice Film Festival has evolved beyond simply wearing designer labels. Fashion houses and celebrities are now collaborating to create unique looks that tell personal stories through clothing. Joe Alwyn's Gucci moments in Venice for "The Brutalist" set a high-water mark for this ever-evolving narrative of celebrity style.
