It’s the final few days of Venice Film Festival.

And Tessa Thompson, Julianne Moore and Monica Bellucci all looked effortlessly stylish as they stepped out on Friday as the star-studded event in Italy nears its end.

Actress Tessa, 38, showed off her sophisticated fashion sense in a black and white checked dress as she left the Hotel Excelsior in great spirits. 

She completed her look with towering heels and toted a bright green bag as well as a chic black lace fan.

Tessa had her dyed-red tresses swept back and opted for natural makeup to show off her pretty features while framing her face with huge shades. 

Meanwhile Julianne, 61, looked perfect in a flower patterned black dress that was cinched in at the waist and teamed with white mules.

Speaking about the line-up director of the event Alberto Barbera said: ‘The program is more varied than usual, placing affirmed filmmakers alongside directors in search of confirmation and, above all, talented newcomers aspiring for international recognition.

‘But what still prevails is the feeling that Cinema still wants to try to explore ways of thinking, big themes and big questions, the profound relationships that tie people to one another, the power of feelings and memory and the ability to push one’s gaze beyond the horizon of the present.’

The closing ceremony will take place on Saturday night.
