Actress Nina Dobrev experienced an awkward moment on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival, where she was seemingly asked to move along by security personnel. Dobrev, 37, was attending the event in an Armani Privé strapless gown adorned with black sequins and green mesh detailing.
As she posed for photographers, an unidentified man in a black suit entered the frame and gestured for her to move. Following a brief interaction, Dobrev was able to take a few more photos before security reappeared and escorted her away. She reacted with a frown and a laugh, appearing incredulous, before briefly waving to photographers on the other side of the carpet.
The incident quickly gained traction on social media, with users expressing surprise and questioning the organization of the event. The Daily Mail has reached out to the Venice Film Festival for comment.
In personal news, Dobrev recently ended her engagement to Olympic snowboarder Shaun White in September 2025. The couple, who first met in 2019 and became public in 2020, had made their red carpet debut in May 2022 and announced their engagement in 2024. A source indicated their separation was a mutual decision made with respect for one another. Dobrev has also recently been the subject of romance speculation with model Dougie Joseph after they were seen together in New York City in June.
