People were mad when I said I thought Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt looks good? I still stand by that opinion, which I formed soon after I saw the trailer. Unfortunately, the critics who saw ATH in Venice do not agree. While critics think Ayo Edebiri, Andrew Garfield and Julia Roberts are giving fine-to-good performances, apparently the film has major script issues. Oh well. I’ll see it just for Ayo, honestly. And I’ll also see it because this is the first time Julia and Chloe Sevigny worked together!! I would give a lot of money to hear Chloe’s unfiltered opinions about working with Julia.

I’m including photos from the Venice Film Festival premiere and photocall. General thoughts? Andrew Garfield went to Turkey for a hair transplant and it might have ruined him. His new hair makes him look younger, for sure, but the hair might have taken away his natural rizz? Ayo wore Chanel for her first-ever Venice premiere. I feel like she decided to go very traditional, a well-cut and somewhat conservative red gown for her first big film festival. She probably didn’t want to “get it wrong,” and it’s always better to err on the side of caution, even if she probably learned a lesson about wearing wrinkle-prone taffeta. Someone who threw caution to the wind? Chloe Sevigny, who wore a custom Saint Laurent, with built-in lace bicycle shorts. She paired the look with diamonds from Tiffany & Co.

As for Julia Roberts… well, she made fashion news too. She wore Atelier Versace, a gown designed by Versace’s new creative director Dario Vitale. Remember, Donatella Versace basically got pushed out, and so now THIS is what Versace will look like. It’s basically an optical-illusion dress which makes her boobs look tiny and yet it also makes her look pregnant from some angles. Like… the old Versace wasn’t everyone’s flavor, but you could spot a Versace gown anywhere. Sexy, glamourous, well-draped. This just looks like sh-t being made by like ten other designers.
