  • The 80th Venice Film Festival is being held in Italy from August 30 to September 9.

  • So far, stars including Emma Corrin and Rita Ora have hit the red carpet in daring fashion.

  • Sheer fabric has been a big style trend that stars have experimented with this year.

For eight days beginning on August 30, the global film industry gathered in Italy to celebrate international cinema at the Venice International Film Festival.

Though usually a star-studded event, this year has been unusually quiet, with many celebrities passing on the event while supporting the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes as members work to negotiate better working conditions and pay.

Some actors have still been in attendance on the red carpets of approved projects; The Hollywood Reporter wrote that some films including "Ferrari," starring Adam Driver and Penélope Cruz, made an agreement with SAG-AFTRA which gave them waivers to do promotional events at the festival.

Actors and celebrities have also been pictured at various parties over the weekend, like the amfAR Venezia gala; a charity ball and auction in support of AIDS research, as well as the star-studded Armani One Night Only party. Take a look at some of the best and most daring looks of the film festival so far.
