Never one to miss a moment, Sofia Carson unveils a dual masterpiece of dramatic celebrity style at the Venice Film Festival—from a baroque rebellion to a neoclassical dream.
At the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, Sofia Carson proved she’s a master of sartorial transformation. Moving beyond her polished pop persona, the star debuted not one, but two, entirely distinct looks that captured the festival’s high-fashion essence with equal parts grace and edge. The result was a captivating study in duality: the soft romanticism of a beaded Elie Saab couture moment followed by the stark, architectural lines of an Armani Privé creation.
This is a woman who understands a visual narrative.
For the amfAR Gala, Carson attended in a breathtaking Elie Saab Fall/Winter 2025 couture gown. A vision in blush, the dress was an intricate tapestry of heavy beadwork and floral embroidery, its corset top providing a structured counterpoint to the ethereal, voluminous sleeves. The delicate, almost sheer fabric shimmered under the lights, creating a soft, dream-like effect. It was pure old-world glamour, a look designed to be seen in the golden hour light of the Venetian canals.
In contrast, her red-carpet moment for the Frankenstein premiere was a lesson in minimalist futurism. The Armani Privé gown was a sleek, form-fitting silhouette in a pale, almost beige tone. The fabric appeared to be a shimmering, high-tech mesh or finely woven sequins, catching the light in a subtle yet mesmerizing way. Its long sleeves and simple cut gave it a powerful, almost severe elegance—a direct foil to the romanticism of the Elie Saab look.
