Harry Styles and his girlfriend Olivia Wilde touched down in Venice separately on Sunday for the 79th Film Festival.
The singer, 29, showcased his quirky sense of Style in a purple Gucci blazer and green cardigan, teamed with blue jeans and white trainers.
He stood out from the crowd with his bold accessories as he carried three animal print bags through the airport.

The star sported a pair of brown sunglasses and wore a black face mask to protect himself from Covid-19.
Meanwhile Olivia, 38, looked effortlessly chic in a cream blazer and matching trousers, teamed with a pair of black cowboy boots.
The actress and director hid her eyes behind a pair of black shades and styled her caramel locks in loose curls.
The behind-the-scenes rumpus over Olivia’s new film Don’t Worry Darling rages on, entertainingly, in Venice.

The picture — which features Harry in his first starring role — will have its premiere at the Film Festival on Monday.
But it can be revealed that Styles’s co-star Florence Pugh — who had already pulled out of a number of planned interviews — is now skipping both the press conference and the photocall to promote it.
She’s planning to plaster on a smile for the walk up the red carpet at the premiere, and then high-tail it back to Budapest, where she is filming the Dune sequel.

Apparently, the 26-year-old is not even staying for dinner with her co-stars or director.
Harry and Olivia’s photocall, press conference and premiere appearances will be their first public outings as a couple (though they were initially seen together last year).
Though he had a minor part in Dunkirk, the part of Jack Chambers in Don’t Worry Darling is his first leading role on the big screen.
For those not up to speed with the film’s lively backstory, Florence Pugh plays Alice, who lives in a seemingly idyllic community with husband Jack, an employee of the mysterious Victory Project.

Shia LaBeouf was initially cast as Jack, but left the project before a frame was shot. Director Wilde said this was down to the actor’s ‘combative energy’. She felt she had a duty to protect Florence Pugh.
But LaBeouf hit back, releasing horribly embarrassing footage and emails which showed Wilde seeming to chide Pugh (or ‘Miss Flo’ as she called her) for not finding the time to rehearse with her screen husband, and begging him to stick with the project. At one point Wilde wrote that she hoped LaBeouf could still do the film ‘if you guys can make peace’.
Meanwhile, Pugh apparently hated watching Styles and Wilde become closer, on set because Wilde, 38, was at the time engaged to actor Jason Sudeikis, father of her two children. Pugh also didn’t care for the way her love scenes with Styles were exploited in the run-up to the premiere.
She said: ‘When it’s reduced to your sex scenes . . . to watch the most famous man in the world go down on someone . . . it’s not why we do it.’ Wilde must surely be feeling the pressure. She was famously served with papers relating to custody of her children while on stage, talking about the film, back in April. Don’t Worry Darling will be released in UK cinemas on September 23.
