Sienna Miller, Abbey Lee and Kevin Costner couldn’t contain their laughter as they hit the red carpet at the Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2 premiere on the final day of the Venice Film Festival on Saturday.
The western film was directed, produced and co-written by Kevin, who also stars in the film alongside Sienna, Sam Worthington and Jena Malone.
The first film was critically acclaimed and was not a huge box office success. The theatrical release of Chapter 2 has now been postponed indefinitely.
Sienna, 42, wore a sheer white braless jumpsuit with hot pants underneath and a Chloe belt around her waist.
She completed her stylish outfit with over-the-knee black leather boots, while her blonde locks were styled in loose curls.

Actress Abbey, 37, showed off her stunning figure in a sheer lace dress featuring an embellished thigh-length slit skirt and nude shorts underneath as she posed for a number of stunning photos at the event.
She added height to her look with a pair of strappy silver heels, and accessorised with hoops and dainty earrings.
Meanwhile, Kevin looked handsome in a gray suit and a crisp white shirt, while shielding his eyes with sunglasses.
The Venice Film Festival began on August 28 and by the end of Saturday will have premiered more than 20 films as part of the Venezia 81 competition.
The series kicked off with the biographical psychological thriller Maria, starring Angelina Jolie, which premiered on August 29.
Sienna and Abbey have been busy filming the third film in the trilogy, Horizon: An American Saga, directed by Kevin.
Chapter 1 was released at the Cannes Film Festival in May and in U.S. theaters the following month.

Chapter 1 flopped at the box office and failed to recoup its budget, but Warner Bros. Pictures hopes the next two films will turn the tide.
Horizon chronicles a multifaceted 15-year span of the expansion and colonization of the American West before and after the Civil War.
The films feature a stellar cast, including star directors Kevin, Sam Worthington and Luke Wilson.
Filming for Chapter 3 of the film saga began in May 2024. Chapter 4 is in development.
Horizon received a ten-minute standing ovation from the audience after its premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival last month.
In addition to Costner, the film features an all-star cast with Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone, Giovanni Ribisi, Ella Hunt, Danny Huston and Luke Wilson also sharing the screen.
However, the film received some scathing reviews and a very low score on Rotten Tomatoes, with only a 38 percent score on the Tomatometer – the rating system used by the film review website.

Costner financed the film himself, admitting that he put $38 million of his own money into the project after spending decades searching for a studio willing to make the film.
He even took out a loan using his Santa Barbara home as collateral, after trying in vain to finance it for more than 30 years.
Costner announced in June 2022 that he planned to make a total of four Horizon films, which he would shoot one after the other.
It marks the fourth time in his long career that Costner has directed a film, following Dances With Wolves (1990), The Postman (1990) and Open Range (2003).
Costner achieved enormous success with his work, including his directorial debut Dances with Wolves (1990), which won seven Academy Awards from twelve nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director.
