Raising the Bar! Model Refaeli lights up another low-key red carpet in a sweeping silk gown as she attends the 80th annual Venice Film Festival premiere of Origin

Raising the bar! Model Refaeli lights up another understated red carpet in a flowy silk dress as she attends Origin’s 80th annual premiere at the Venice Film Festival

The mood was subdued, but the dress code was undeniably elegant as the 80th annual Northern Italy Film Festival continued on Wednesday night.

After a week of largely disappointing red carpets, the result of Hollywood’s solidarity with the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strikes, it was the turn of the biographical drama Origin to premiere at the city’s Lido.

Bar Refaeli arrived early Wednesday and claimed her share of the spotlight in a flowy silk evening dress ahead of the first official screening.

The Israeli model, 38, accentuated her slim physique in the figure-hugging dress, featuring an off-the-shoulder detail and a plunging chest that drew even more attention to her exposed cleavage.

Refaeli was present when the Ava DuVernay-directed film based on Isabel Wilkerson’s 2020 book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents was screened in competition at the annual ceremony.
