Shia LaBeouf joined costar Robert Redford on the red carpet in Venice today. They premiered The Company You Keep after promoting the project at a photocall earlier in the day. Shia dressed up in a tuxedo for the occasion, and showed off his shorter hair. He'll be back in the spotlight this weekend, when The Company You Keep screens at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sunday.

Shia's moved onto press for his latest film after chatting up Lawless for the last few weeks. Lawless came in second at the box office following its release on Friday. Up next, he'll get to work on Nymphomaniac, which he joked that he auditioned for with his own sex tape during an appearance on Chelsea Lately.

Selena, Vanessa, and Ashley Bring the High-Drama Glam to Venice

There are no signs of the Venice Film Festival's A-list glamour waning any time soon, and here's why.
by

There are no signs of the Venice Film Festival's A-list glamour waning any time soon, and here's why. Last night's Spring Breakers premiere had us swooning three times over. Between Selena Gomez's ruffled nude Atelier Versace gown, Vanessa Hudgens's gold embellished Temperley London gown, and Ashley Benson's ultratextured sapphire-blue column dress, we've got enough evening glitz to inspire our next formal occasion. The starlet trio impressed earlier with a mix of cool cocktail sheaths — think black and gold Dolce & Gabbana and leaf-printed Blumarine — at the film's photocall. Elsewhere amongst the Venice Film Festival reveling, Freida Pinto took on an Alexander McQueen cutout gown that not only wowed in shine factor but also hugged her svelte frame to perfection, Blake Lively stunned in a sexy Gucci Premiere number, and ceremonies host Kasia Smutniak stepped out in yet another romantic Valentino creation. Don't miss even a moment of the style action — see the best looks from all angles now.

The cast of Spring Breakers got the Venice Film Festival all-star treatment tonight at their red-carpet premiere. Selena Gomez, in custom Versace Atelier and Lorraine Schwartz jewels, and Vanessa Hudgens both chose champagne tones, while Ashley Benson stepped out in a bold blue hue from Alberta Ferretti. Director Harmony Korine arrived with his wife, Rachel, who wore a beautiful gold gown, and posed for photos with James Franco and the entire cast prior to the screening. A few of the stars are packing up in the upcoming days and heading to Canada, where they're expected to share the flick with North American audiences on Friday at this year's TIFF.

Selena has a full roster on her hands while visiting Toronto. In addition to promoting Spring Breakers, she'll also be chatting with press about her forthcoming animated feature, Hotel Transylvania, due out Sept. 28.

Selena Gomez and James Franco Debut Spring Breakers at Venice

Selena Gomez led the pack of Spring Breakers stars at a photocall this morning at the Venice Film Festival. She posed for photos alongside her leading ladies Ashley Benson, Vanessa Hudgens, and Rachel Korine. Rounding out the gang was James Franco. Their Harmony Korine-directed movie also screened for critics — check out an early Spring Breakers review. The plot of the picture centers around the four girls on a vacation during college, but due to a lack of funds, they get involved in crime and mixed up with a gangster played by James. Harmony Korine is known for making art pieces, and James, who seems like he's usually down to experiment, jumped at the chance to participate. The Hollywood Reporter wrote of the actor's work in Spring Breakers, "Even by the elastic measure of James Franco's unpredictable career, the actor gives one of his more bizarre performances."

Francois-Henri's company owns Gucci, and he's been at the film festival with Salma for a few days, prepping for the big unveiling of Blake's new ad for Gucci's Premiere fragrance. Blake teamed up with director Nicolas Winding Refn for the short piece. Nicolas made the rounds yesterday as well, along with Gucci's creative director Frida Giannini. Blake's boyfriend, Ryan Reynolds, accompanied her on the trek to Italy, but he managed not to have his picture taken at the event. Today, though, both Blake and Ryan were seen making a hasty exit from the city at the airport.
