The 81st Venice Film Festival has brought all the glitz, glamour and glorious red carpet looks that we were expecting. 

The crème de la crème of the fashion and film elite have put on a showstopping display of sartorial elegance, from Nicole Kidman in corseted Schiaparelli to Amal Clooney oozing unicorn-chic in custom Bach Mai - each day has completely fed the appetites of fashion fanatics.

The latest It-girl to bring her signature style to the red carpet is model, author, swimwear designer and HighLow with EmRata podcast host, Emily Ratajkowski.

The 33-year-old has a reputation for putting a daring twist on her cool-girl-coded outfits - be that a sheer ensemble, a tiny bikini or a figure-sculpting silhouette. On the red carpet in Italy, she stunned in a hip-hugging olive green vintage Gucci dress, created by Tom Ford in 2004 during his tenure as creative director. 

The glamorous piece featured a low v-neckline that added a touch of elegance and allure, as well as intricate pleated detailing -  with layers to create a cascading effect. The skirt gave a touch of modern Hollywood vibes with fringed flowing tassels that oozed 1920's glamour.

For beauty, her hair - created by Patrick Wilson - was styled in soft, elegant loose waves with subtle volume at the roots, creating a natural, effortless glamorous vibe and giving a relaxed yet polished look. Her side parting adds a touch of quintessential red carpet chic.

Her make-up focussed heavily on fresh yet flawless skin. Created by Ana Takahashi, Emily's base was the star of the show, with a glossy nude lip and delicate bronze eyeshadow complimenting her classic red carpet look.

Emily proved once again why she is one of the most sought-after sartorial It-girls on the planet.
