The Venice Film Festival red carpet isn’t the only chance for celebrities to serve looks. From press junkets to canal-side photo ops, there are numerous paparazzi moments.

Penélope Cruz disembarked her own speedboat wearing head-to-toe Chanel on Monday, September 5. The actor looked chic in jeans printed with the double C emblem, a black and white bouclé tweed waistcoat and matching jacket, platforms, aviators, and statement logo earrings. Naturally, Cruz is a fan of Chanel’s classic quilted bags, and she carried a smart circular clutch with a chain handle for her moment in the spotlight.

Cruz has been a Chanel ambassador since Karl Lagerfeld’s tenure (she attended her first show in 1999), so it’s become customary practice for her to fly the flag for the brand. The actor selected a printed halter-neck dress from the Resort 2023 collection to wear for the photo call of L’immensità, and she wore a lace long-sleeved gown from Virginie Viard’s autumn/winter 2022 couture collection for the film’s premiere.
