The 67th Venice Film Festival continued over the weekend adding a jolt of much needed glamour to the celebrity calendar after a whirlwind of exotic trips abroad and sunny festivals. A whole host of stylish starlets jetted into Italy\'s most romantic city and hit the red carpet in a series of dazzling gowns. Sofia Coppola premiered her latest eagerly anticipated film, Somewhere, over the weekend and walked the red carpet alongside the film\'s stars Elle Fanning and Stephen Dorff, as well as the ever-stylish Clémence Poésy. Earlier in the festival, Natalie Portman stunned the crowds at the premiere of her latest film, Black Swan, in a draped Rodarte dress in this season\'s hottest colour - ruby red. Norwegian Wood co-stars Rinko Kikuchi and Kiko Mizuhara jostled for the title of best dressed Japanese actress, in fact make that actress, at the festival in Chanel and Valentino couture respectively. Our style crush Elisa Sednaoui also didn\'t disappoint in Alberta Ferretti, while Jessica Alba flew the flag for Hollywood in Valentino couture. Read on to take a peek at our round-up of the best celebrity looks from Venice so far.

Not one to be outdone, Kiko Mizuhara, Rinko Kikuchi\'s co-star in Norwegian Wood, also wore a showstopping gown on the Venice red carpet. She opted for an ethereal pale pink Valentino couture gown sprinkled with jewel embellishment. She also managed to pull off the tricky short at the front, long at the back look. Top marks.

Like Kiko before her, Machete star Jessica also chose to wear Valentino couture at the festival. She chose a grey strapless dress with a sheer lemon overlay and floral appliqués around the hem teamed with slingback heels, also by Valentino, and a sparkling metallic clutch to attend a Quentin Tarantino dinner party.
