Maternity clothes can be glamorous — just take it from the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival. Over the years, stars including Uma Thurman, Kate Hudson and Natalie Portman have displayed their baby bumps on the Croisette, sporting custom silhouettes by the likes of Chanel and Dior.
The Venice Film Festival, held annually in Italy, features new motion pictures from around the world. The 2024 jury is led by actress and Balenciaga ambassador Isabelle Huppert, while this year’s festival includes high-profile premieres of Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” Pedro Almodovar’s “The Room Next Door” and Todd Phillips’ “Joker: Folie à Deux” among other films.
Ahead, see how celebrities like Milla Jovovich, Helena Bonham Carter and more have styled maternity looks at the Venice Film Festival over the years.
