Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz turned heads on the red carpet at the Queer premiere during the Venice Film Festival.
The couple made quite an impression on Tuesday, with Daniel, 56, looking sharp in a white suit paired with shiny brown shoes.
He kept things stylish with shaggy blond hair and oversized sunglasses, clearly embracing a new look for his upcoming film, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, which began filming in June.
Rachel, 54, stole the spotlight in a stunning shimmering blue strapless gown complemented by a dazzling diamond necklace.
She looked every bit the Hollywood star with her elegant choice of accessories and a radiant smile.
More Stars Shine on the Red Carpet
The red carpet saw other glamorous appearances as well. Belgian model Rose Bertram, 29, turned heads in a striking red gown with a floral ruffle skirt.
Her sideboob-baring halterneck dress was accessorized with delicate silver jewelry, and she styled her blonde hair in a neat bun.
Her flawless makeup completed the look.
Tilda Swinton was another standout, looking sensational in a white maxi dress that she paired with bold blue heels and vibrant red lipstick.
Taylor Russell, the Canadian actress and former girlfriend of Harry Styles, also dazzled in a black silk thigh-split dress with sheer lace detailing and an in-built cape.
She completed her look with matching black heels and a sleek, natural makeup style.
Spotlight on Queer
Directed by Luca Guadagnino, Queer is based on William Burroughs’ semi-autobiographical novella.
The film features Daniel Craig as William Lee, an American expat and war veteran who enters into a romance with a younger man, Eugene Allerton (Drew Starkey), a drug addict and discharged Navy serviceman.
Early reviews indicate that some scenes, especially a notable one involving explicit content, are quite shocking.
Daniel Craig spoke about the film’s intimate scenes, emphasizing the goal to make them as genuine and emotional as possible.
Venice Film Festival boss Alberto Barbera praised Craig’s performance, predicting it could lead to an Academy Award nomination—a first for the British actor.
Festival Highlights
The Venice Film Festival, organized by La Biennale di Venezia, is running from August 28 to September 7.
The event will also honor Sigourney Weaver with the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.
The festival continues to draw attention for its high-profile premieres and star-studded appearances.
The film’s backstory is as intriguing as its on-screen content.
Queer was written between 1951 and 1953 but was not published until 1985.
It reflects the tumultuous life of Burroughs, who had a tragic and controversial past, including a manslaughter conviction for the accidental shooting of his wife.
Daniel Craig now spends most of his time in New York with Rachel Weisz and their young daughter, far from the spy persona he is famous for.
