Fashion saves the floating city! Models Rose Bertram and Adriana Lima join Hofit Golan on an empty red carpet at the 80th Venice Film Festival premiere of The Killer – as writers strikes continue to affect annual ceremony

The writers strike continued to impact northern Italy on Sunday as a limited red carpet guest list converged for the 80th Venice Film Festival premiere of The Killer. 

With the great and good of Hollywood swerving the annual event in solidarity with ongoing SAG-AFRA marches, it was left to the great and good of fashion to ensure the floating city’s biggest event didn’t sink without trace. 

Leading the way as David Fincher’s psychological action thriller received its first screening, models Rose Bertram, Adriana Lima and TV personality Hofit Golan guaranteed the event was given its fair share of glamour. 

Opting for a plunging black gown with a shoulder strap detail, Belgian star Bertram, 28, looked typically stunning as she greeted onlookers ahead of Sunday’s premiere. 

The sweeping dress drew attention to her exposed cleavage, while limited accessories ensured its obvious focal point was not overshadowed.
