Photos: Masks are the New Fashion Item at the Venice Film Festival, and They're Really Cool

opened Wednesday under a slew of COVID-prevention protocols, with the few A-list celebrities making the trip wearing face masks and the general public largely absent.

Paparazzi, who in past years rented boats to chase stars as they crossed the lagoon to the Lido, filmed the opening arrivals from special, socially distanced spots along the red carpet. Masked guards took temperatures at nearly every turn, and no jostling, crowding or cramming was allowed. It’s all part of the measures imposed by Venice organizers to try to safely host the first major in-person festival of the COVID-19 era when others canceled or went online. That the festival is happening at all is significant, given Italy was the first country in the West to be hit hard by the virus.”Some of the celebrities arrived sporting masks in basic black or white, complementing the color of their outfits.

As much of Europe is gripped by a second wave of the coronavirus pandemic, opening the Festival in hard-hit Italy is a risk. But organizers consider it a calculated risk. According to, “‘We feel the responsibility [of] being the first one. We know the festival of Venice will be a sort of test for everybody,’ said festival director. ‘We worked a lot on strict plans of safety measures to ensure that everybody who attended the festival would be safe until the end.
