Iris Law oozed confidence as she hit the red carpet at the Joker: Folie à Deux premiere during Venice Film Festival on Wednesday. 

The model, 23, showcased her incredible figure in a teal velvet Jimmy Choo gown with a racy cut-out detail and a daring thigh-high split. 

She boosted her height in gold strappy heels, while accessorising with a sapphire ring and matching earrings.

Folie à Deux will see Joaquin, 49, reprise his role as Arthur Fleck AKA Joker.

It is the much-anticipated follow-up to 2019's Academy Award-winning Joker, which earned more than $1 billion at the global box office and remains the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.

Set for release on October 4, the second instalment finds Arthur Fleck institutionalised at Arkham awaiting trial for his crimes as Joker. 

'While struggling with his dual identity, Arthur not only stumbles upon true love, but also finds the music that's always been inside him,' a press release shared.

Tim Burton's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice opened Venice Film Festival on August 28.

Sigourney Weaver meanwhile will receive the prestigious Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement award during the festival. 

Sigourney said ahead of receiving the prize: 'I am truly honored to receive the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement from La Biennale di Venezia.'

'To be gifted this award is a privilege I share with all the filmmakers and collaborators I have worked with throughout the years. I proudly accept this award in celebration of all who have helped bring these films to life.'

The 81st Venice International Film Festival is organised by La Biennale di Venezia and will be held on the Lido di Venezia from 28 August to 7 September 2024.

As well as Sigourney and the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice cast there is an array of A-listers that have descended in Venice.

George Clooney is in town, alongside his wife Amal, for the debut of his anticipated new movie Wolfs - the Jon Watts-directed heist thriller that reunites him with Oceans 11 co-star Brad Pitt.

Brad's ex wife Angelina Jolie is also in Venice to promote the film Maria, in which she plays opera legend Maria Callas.

Sources indicate that the schedules have been arranged so that the warring couple - who continue to be embroiled in legal action eight years after they split - will not be at the film festival at the same time.

Another major screening is Joker: Folie à Deux on September 4. The premiere of the sequel will welcome stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga to the Venice red carpet.

Daniel Craig will also be at the festival to promote his movie Queer, which screens on September 3.

Venice regulars Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton are in town for Pedro Almodóvar’s English-language debut The Room Next Door while Nicole Kidman is screening her erotic thriller Babygirl on August 30.

Pupi Avati's The American Backyard will close the festival on September 7.
