When the fan screams at the Lido film festival get so loud that you can hear it from a canal on the narrow Venetian island to the promenade in front of the festival palace, it can only mean one thing: Kristen Stewart has just got off a boat. The actress arrived on Friday to attend the premiere of the film "Spencer" by the Chilean director Pablo Larraín. In it she plays Princess Diana, who has to survive three days of Christmas with the royal family and makes a momentous decision. As in his biographically-inspired film "Jackie", in which Natalie Portman played Jackie Kennedy, Larraín places a high value on authenticity, but uses it to tell his own version of the story. So "Spencer" is an aesthetic jewel. Stewart wears iconic Diana outfits,from a yellow two-piece to a wedding dress. At the very beginning, when she drives through the English countryside as Lady Di in an open Porsche, she is completely dressed in Chanel's tartan pattern. She also traveled to Chanel for the film festival, but had picked out the most provocative piece from Virginie Viard's current collection: a black boucle one-piece with ultra-short shorts.

But not only their fans were screaming: With Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya, two other stars came, whose arrival attracted many fans to the film festival despite the spacers and the cordoned off red carpet. Both actors were part of the great Hollywood entourage that director Denis Villeneuve brought to Venice for his science fiction blockbuster "Dune". Oscar Isaac, who is presenting two other film projects, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson, Dave Bautista, Stellan Skarsgård and even composer Hans Zimmer were present at the premiere. Even before the film was shown to the premiere audience, the stars caused a sensation on the red carpet. Zendaya came in a nude dress that Balmain seemed to have sewn right onto her body. And Chalamet had managedtaming his curls in his evening suit - director Villeneuve had joked in front of the press that afternoon that he not only had to direct Chalamet in the lead role, but also his hair. They would have had a life of their own.

But now the question is: Do you like Zendaya's skin-tight couture best? Or Oscar Isaac in a white jacket? Perhaps you are also taken with Hans Zimmer's embroidered shoes? Vote:
