Phoebe Waller-Bridge garnered significant attention on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival premiere of her partner Martin McDonagh's latest film, "Wild Horse Nine." Waller-Bridge, 41, made a rare public appearance alongside McDonagh, 56, the acclaimed director.
The film "Wild Horse Nine" features a cast including Parker Posey, John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell, and Steve Buscemi. This marks McDonagh's return to directing since his 2022 film "The Banshees of Inisherin," which received multiple Oscar nominations.
Waller-Bridge arrived in custom Celine attire, a white cape and trousers, to support McDonagh. He complemented her ensemble with a black suit from the same designer. The couple, who have been dating since 2017, have previously sparked wedding rumors. Waller-Bridge was seen wearing a large diamond ring on her engagement finger.
The premiere also saw notable appearances from Laura Dern, Leslie Bibb, Kendall Jenner, and Stella Maxwell. Jenner, 30, wore a vintage Giorgio Armani dress from 1995, while Maxwell, 36, opted for a sheer black lace gown. Dern, 59, appeared in a sequined gown, and Parker Posey, 57, wore a white cape dress. Leslie Bibb, 52, was seen with her partner Sam Rockwell.
"Wild Horse Nine" is set in 1973 and follows CIA officers Chris and Lee who are dispatched to Easter Island. The narrative involves their encounters with local students amidst conspiracies and personal histories. The film is competing for the Golden Lion Award and is scheduled for theatrical release on November 6.
Waller-Bridge and McDonagh are recognized as a prominent couple in the film industry. Waller-Bridge has previously expressed the value of her relationship with McDonagh, calling him a genius whose work influences her own. Her career has seen significant success, with her company, PMWB Limited, reportedly earning nearly £16 million in the financial year ending last November. She is known for her work on "Fleabag," for which she won Golden Globes, Emmys, and a BAFTA, and her writing and producing contributions to "Killing Eve."
