Red carpets are back with a new hot favourite accessory.

It's been nearly six months since we've seen celebrities parade themselves in front of swarms of photographers.

While the 77th annual Venice Film Festival has gone ahead, it's not without strict social distancing rules.

The safety rules haven't stopped celebrities from popping on their frocks and hitting the red carpet.

The Venice Film Festival is the major red carpet event where glitzy European identities most people have never heard of get to mix it with Hollywood A-listers.

When the dress code asked for a face mask I'm not sure this was what they meant, Tilda.
