Lido must have felt very empty on Monday, as some of the world's biggest stars descended on Venice's historic Arsenal for the gleaming unveiling of Aston Martin's Vanquish.
New 2025 Aston Martin Vanquish World Premiere in Venice
“Wolfs” star George Clooney with his wife Amal, “Queer” star Daniel Craig, “Horizon 2” director and star Kevin Costner, Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Douglas and Joel Edgerton all arrived for an intimate, impossibly glamorous gathering.
Acclaimed costume designer Sandy Powell and model and actor Poppy Delevingne were also spotted, as was Dominic Cooper. Raffey Cassidy still couldn't shake off the overwhelming reception to "The Brutalist", Brady Corbet's headline entry for the competition, which earned a thunderous 12-minute standing ovation. Lead actor Adrien Brody was also in attendance.
Illuminated by the lights and surrounded by the tranquil lagoon, the new flagship V12 model was unveiled by Formula 1 drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll.
