Maggie Gyllenhaal Embraces Ruffles in Venice

As President of the Jury, and knowing all we know about Maggie’s style, we weren’t expecting anything elaborate. But I have to say, I really enjoyed this Chloé Fall 2025 look.

I love the eggplant hue of the cropped blouse, with the ruffles adding just enough drama to make this feel worthy of the occasion without taking Maggie too far outside her comfort zone.

I also prefer her black trousers to the sheer taupe skirt we saw on the runway. They allow the blouse to remain the focal point and make the look feel much more like Maggie.

The matching eggplant pumps were another welcome touch, especially when black would have been the obvious choice.

Dior Eyewear DiorGlow A1I flat-top sunglasses, a silver Bvlgari bag and a Bvlgari High Jewelry necklace completed her look.

This is easily one of my favourite looks from Maggie during her time in Venice, alongside her Celine arrival look.
