There are plenty of highly-anticipated films making their debut at the 2025 Venice Film Festival this week, but few are as buzzy and star-studded as the new Luca Guadagnino film, After the Hunt. Starring Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield, Ayo Edebiri, and Chloe Sevigny (to name a few), it is one of the splashiest ensemble casts that is featured in the festival.
This morning, the official photo call was held for the new project, and A-lister Julia Roberts was on hand—wearing a new custom design from Versace. Her sleek daytime look marked designer Dario Vitale’s first-ever design outing for the Italian label, since he was appointed creative director back in March. (Longtime designer Donatella Versace, meanwhile, stepped down, marking the end of an era and a curious start to the next for the fashion house.)

Roberts’s tailored design channeled a minimal 1990s spirit: Her look featured a single-breasted blazer in blue wool, worn overtop a striped shirt and denim straight-leg jeans. It was timeless and pared-back, a far cry from the brazen prints and bright colors that Versace is known for. For accessories, Roberts sported a gold belt buckle, woven leather slingbacks, and a leather Medua bag that featured featured her initials on it: “JM,” for Julia Moder—her married name to husband Daniel Moder.
For the glitzy premiere later in the day, meanwhile, Roberts changed into a second design by Vitale. The custom floor-length Atelier Versace gown was made navy crepe de chine, and featured a damier motif that was embroidered with black silk thread. The subdued look was hand-crafted, and took over 300 hour to make.
