This week's lion's share of gorgeous looks by far belonged to the Venice Film Festival. Not only were some of the chicest actresses of the moment in attendance, but the sheer volume of photocalls, dinners, parties, and screenings also guaranteed that the opportunities for style inspiration would be plentiful.

At the premiere of The Iceman, Brit Marling looked angelic in a strapless, white Resort 2013 Gucci gown, the hem of which was printed with a garden of grasses and blooms. At the same premiere, Winona Ryder took the opposite approach in a darkly dramatic lace Dolce & Gabbana — and the results were equally as stunning.

But the true star of Venice, style-wise anyway, has really been Kasia Smutniak. The Polish actress, former model, and festival's host has looked flawless at every single appearance and in every single dress — from a gauzy floral Valentino to a Raf Simons Jil Sander to a streamlined, crimson Armani Privé.

See all those looks, plus more from around the world — including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (left), Miranda Kerr, Selita Ebanks, and more — right here.
