Kendall Jenner arrived in Venice on Wednesday to attend the city's annual film festival, where she will serve as an ambassador for Armani Beauty. Jenner's arrival marks the start of a busy schedule of red carpet events and parties.
Upon her arrival at Marco Polo Airport, Jenner was photographed wearing a white vest, cream trousers, and loafers, carrying a large suede Chanel holdall. She took time to pose for photos with fans before departing for the city center via boat.
Jenner's new boyfriend, actor Jacob Elordi, is not expected to join her at the festival. Elordi attended last year's event to promote his film "Frankenstein" but is currently taking a break after a demanding year, which included his Oscar-nominated role in "Frankenstein" and the "Wuthering Heights" blockbuster. The couple, who reportedly began dating in early February, were set up by Jenner's sister, Kylie.
Their relationship has been documented through various public appearances and social media, including trips to Hawaii, Japan, and London for the premiere of "The Dog Stars." An insider previously told the Daily Mail that Kylie Jenner played a role in their romance, aiming to facilitate double dates with her then-boyfriend Timothée Chalamet.
The Venice Film Festival commenced on Wednesday with the premiere of Danny Boyle's "Ink," a film about Rupert Murdoch. The festival is scheduled to conclude on September 12 with the Italian costume drama "Dio Ride (God Laughs)." Other notable attendees expected at the festival include Robert Pattinson, Penélope Cruz, and Sam Rockwell.
