The Venice Film Festival is in full swing with its seventh day and on Tuesday major British stars graced the red carpets.

One of the main events of the day was the photocall and premiere of Luca Guadagnino's latest offering, Queer, which stars James Bond actor Daniel Craig and Scream: Resurrection's Drew Starkey.

Daniel hit the red carpet in a cool Loewe suit, and he wasn't the only British A-lister in attendance, as The Crown actress Lesley Manville joined him.

See below for the best looks from day seven...
