Halsey Wore Vivienne Westwood and Nicol & Ford During Venice Film Festival

Halsey may not have had a film to promote in Venice, but she didn’t need one—fashion was clearly her headline act. Between a jaw-dropping arrival and a questionable premiere gown, she gave us two very different sides of red carpet Halsey.

Hotel Excelsior: Overdressed? Never In Westwood

Halsey reminded us all why Vivienne Westwood’s dresses are eternal. Her corseted design was pure Westwood—structured yet romantic, timeless yet never boring. It might have been a touch dramatic for daytime hotel arrivals, but honestly, who’s complaining? Not me. I’ll always take a little overdressing when it’s this iconic. Hearts On Fire Jewelry completed her look.

The Smashing Machine Premiere: From goddess to gamble

When Halsey stepped onto the Venice carpet for Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson’s premiere, I wish she had save that Vivienne Westwood gown for this event. This Nicol & Ford dress didn’t work for me. Halsey is brilliant at spotlighting new talent and throwing in a wildcard look, but this yellow satin halter feels like it belongs at the iHeartRadio Awards, not Venice. The draping isn’t being held — it’s literally cut to hang that way — and the effect just comes off messy. I’m not against a chaotic fashion moment because when done right, it can be fabulous, but Venice isn’t the place for this kind of chaos in my opinion.

Stylist: Lyn Alyson.
