Marco Bicego opens the Venice Film Festival 2026
A special Meaning
The opening of the Venice International Film Festival marks a moment of global significance for cinema, culture, and creativity. This year, Marco Bicego is proud to take part in this international stage from the very opening of the Festival, alongside acclaimed actress Claire Foy, whose outfits at the Lido feature the Maison's jewelry, ahead of the premiere of Ink by Danny Boyle, the film opening this year's Venice Film Festival.
More than an appearance, Marco Bicego's presence reflects the Maison's ongoing dialogue with women who express their individuality, talent, and personal vision through their work. As a powerful platform for storytelling, the Venice Film Festival brings together voices that shape contemporary culture on a global scale, through their work and through the looks they choose.
Venice, a part of our Story
For Marco Bicego, Venice holds an especially meaningful place. As a Veneto-based company deeply rooted in the Italian jewelry tradition, the city represents both a cultural landmark and a gateway to the world. Home to one of the Maison's historic flagship boutiques at Piazza San Marco 77, Venice has been part of the brand's journey since its early years. Among Marco Bicego's first openings, the boutique remains a symbol of the enduring connection between the Maison and one of Italy's most iconic destinations.
The Venice Film Festival offers a natural setting to celebrate this connection between local heritage and international visibility – a stage where craftsmanship, culture, and creativity come together, and where the looks on the red carpet reflect the balance of tradition and contemporary vision that defines Marco Bicego.
As the Festival unfolds, the Maison looks forward to celebrating inspiring talents throughout one of the most captivating weeks on the international cultural calendar.
More to come.
CLAIRE FOY
Star of Ink by Danny Boyle, the opening film of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival, shines upon her arrival at the Venice Lido wearing Marco Bicego.
The renowned actress chose Marrakech and Masai, two of the Maison’s most iconic collections, both showcasing the brand’s exclusive coil craftsmanship for a sophisticated yet contemporary look.
MATILDE GIOLI
Matilde Gioli wears Marco Bicego as she arrives at the Lido in Venice. The Italian actress brings a luminous touch to the occasion with Lunaria Diamonds, one of the Maison’s most distinctive collections.
Inspired by the organic, imperfect beauty of leaves, Lunaria translates nature’s fluid forms into sculptural creations in 18-carat yellow gold. In its diamond interpretation, the signature silhouettes are illuminated by pavé-set diamonds, catching the light with every movement.
VALERIA GOLINO
Valeria Golino wears Marco Bicego as she arrives at the Lido in Venice. The Italian actress elegantly wears two of the Maison’s most beloved collections: Jaipur Link and Lunaria. The bold, three-dimensional links of Jaipur Link reinterpret the classic chain with a contemporary twist, while Lunaria draws inspiration from the organic, lightweight forms of nature.
VALERIA BRUNI TEDESCHI
Valeria Bruni Tedeschi arrives at the Excelsior Hotel in Venice wearing Marco Bicego. For the occasion, the actress chooses the new Jaipur Color creations in luminous sky blue topaz, embracing the collection’s fresh monochrome approach to colour and personal expression.
Worn together in a coordinated sky-blue look, the topaz pieces create a striking yet sophisticated colour statement, bringing a fresh, contemporary touch to her look.
ALBA ROHRWACHER
Alba Rohrwacher wears Marco Bicego as she arrives at the Lido in Venice. For the occasion, the Italian actress embraces the understated elegance of Marrakech, through two distinct looks: the simplicity of a single-strand necklace in twisted 18kt yellow gold, followed by the distinctive presence of three rings from the collection. Two expressions of the same timeless elegance.
THUSO MBEDU
Thuso Mbedu arrives at the Lido di Venezia wearing Marco Bicego for the Venice Film Festival, where she takes part in Miu Miu Women’s Tales, Miu Miu’s film project dedicated to female creativity.
