Armani Beauty Marks Ninth Year as Venice Film Festival Sponsor with Events and Award
Armani Beauty returns to Venice for its ninth year as official beauty sponsor of the Venice Film Festival, hosting ambassadors including Sydney Sweeney and Kendall Jenner. The brand will also revive its Armani Cinema Club and present the Audience Award for the fifth time.
Richard Pinabel, global brand president of Armani Beauty, said the brand's presence at the Venice Film Festival has evolved into a deeper cultural engagement. As the festival's official beauty sponsor, Armani Beauty will host a series of events and reinforce its longstanding connection to cinema.
This year marks the ninth consecutive edition of the sponsorship, reflecting the late Giorgio Armani's passion for film. His house has dressed A-list talent and created costume designs for more than 100 movies, from "American Gigolo" to "The Untouchables."
The Armani Cinema Club will return as a meeting point for friends of the house and the creative community, running Tuesday through Sunday. For the fifth year in a row, the brand will present the Audience Award — Armani Beauty, a prize for the best picture in the festival's Venezia Spotlight section, chosen by spectators.
On Thursday night, Armani Beauty will host a dinner at the Royal Gardens near St. Mark's Square. Expected attendees include Jonathan Bailey, Kendall Jenner, Vittoria Ceretti, Nicholas Galitzine, Sydney Sweeney, Madisin Rian, Carlos Sainz, and J Balvin, along with other ambassadors and friends of the house.
