What are the two most eye-catching elements of film festivals?

One, the films (of course.)

And two, fashion on the red carpet.

Film festivals and the red carpet are inseparable. One way to enjoy film festivals is to appreciate the beautiful (and sometimes not-so-great) dresses of female stars. Here, we compiled some of the dresses worn by Chinese actresses on the Venice red carpet this year.
