Stella Maxwell turned heads as she led the red carpet glamour at the Duse premiere during the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on Wednesday.

The former Victoria’s Secret model, 35, wowed in a white gown with a netted, crochet-like design and a daring thigh-high slit. 

The hemline is adorned with voluminous feathered details, adding drama to the sleek silhouette. 

She teamed the look with pointed white heels and kept accessories to a minimum. 

Finishing the look with dramatic smokey eyeshadow, Stella looked incredible as she posed up a storm for the cameras.

Also at the glitzy event was  Noemie Merlant, Maria Borges, and Fanni Wrochna.

Duse is a 2025 biographical film directed by Pietro Marcello and co-written with Letizia Russo and Guido Silei.

Starring Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, the film explores the life of Italian stage actress Eleonora Duse in the years leading up to World War I.

It is set against the backdrop of the abrupt societal changes brought about by the conflict.

Stella’s appearance in Venice comes just a month after she stripped down to just her thong and a pair of heels for a steamy photoshoot in Greece.

The model left little to the imagination as she frolicked around in nothing but a black thong, a sheer sarong and heels, with tape covering her modesty.

Stella, who is sexually fluid, seems to be making the most of the last of the summer as she posed up a storm for her Instagram fans.

She showed off her impressive abs as she played around on gymnastic hoops and gym equipment in the beaming sun.

All eyes were on her in the make-up free photos as she showed off her natural beauty and curls.

The supermodel had been holidaying in Greece since the start of this week, and  enjoyed a quad bike ride.

She looked windswept in the album of saucy Instagram snaps while riding the four-by-four.

Stella showed off her assets in a black triangle bikini top which she paired with beige shorts.

The model was last linked to French footballer Kylian Mbappé in 2022 but neither spoke out on the romance rumours.

In 2020, Stella opened up about her sexuality in an interview with Advocate magazine, explaining she prefers to identify as LGBTQIA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, and allied).

She explained: ‘I think LGBTQIA is all-encompassing. I did get some flack on social media for the A, which of course can mean asexual or allied.

‘Someone said, “Allied — are you kidding me?” And you know what? I am not kidding at all. I have so many heterosexual friends who are important allies of the LGBTQIA community.’

Speaking about what draws her to a partner, she continued: ‘I don’t know if I have a type. I just go with what I feel.

‘I certainly do not fall in love easily. I would say most people I date are my friends. I like spending time with people I, number one, am attracted to, and who I love spending time with.’

Stella previously dated actress Kristen Stewart, but the couple called it quits in 2019 after an on/off romance.

They began dating in January 2017, with the pair moving in together just five months later.

The duo reportedly called it quits in November 2018, with a source claiming: ‘They stopped seeing eye to eye and were living very different lives.’

They briefly reconciled the following year but the reunion was short lived.

Prior to dating Kristen, Stella was pictured sharing a passionate kiss with Miley Cyrus when she took a break from filming her one of her music videos back in 2015.

However, Miley insisted they were never official, telling Elle magazine at the time: ‘I’m not in a relationship. I’m 22, I’m going on dates, but I change my style every two weeks, let alone who I’m with.’
