In true Sarandon fashion, the 70-year-old actress arrived in oversized black sunglasses, later revealing a dramatic smoky eye and dewy highlighter.
Stars from across the globe gathered this past weekend in Venice, Italy, for this year’s esteemed film festival. The renowned competition has been celebrating the world’s biggest talents in film almost every summer since 1932 — from directors to actors, dancers to composers, these artists are given international recognition for their work.
This year’s competition, which ends September 9th, has been no different.
Taking place in the peak of the gorgeous city’s summer, stars had to balance humidity, rain and heels at the 74th annual film festival. That’s not easy, considering motorboats and gondolas are Venice’s main modes of transportation — water splashes and wind don’t make for the most glamorous hairdos — and the city’s streets are lined with uneven cobblestones.
