Benedetta Porcaroli’s Prada Looks at Venice Film Festival

Benedetta Porcaroli is in Venice Film Festival promoting her new film Kidnapping of Arabella, and her two Prada looks couldn’t have told more different stories.

Photocall: Rolled Out of Bed In Prada

Now, I know what some of you are thinking: what on earth is going on with this Prada look? Honestly, I get it. Because I’ve been there. This feels like me the morning after the Oscars—pyjamas still on, jacket thrown over, slipping into the first pair of shoes I can find, racing to Starbucks to get enough caffeine to power through writing up the Vanity Fair party. So yes, on paper this may be a WDOTY contender given the prestige of festival, but I can’t bring myself to be harsh. It’s too relatable, and sometimes, relatability buys you a pass.

Premiere: Floral Prada in the Venetian Sun

Things turned around beautifully for the premiere, where Benedetta wore a Prada Spring 2025 satin floral column dress adorned with delicate crystal embroidery. The off-shoulder sleeve detail—which some might think looks like a wardrobe slip—was actually an intentional design choice (Hunter Schafer wore the same style earlier this year at the Film Independent Spirit Awards). It’s a clever, romantic detail that makes the dress feel relaxed yet glamorous—perfect for an early evening premiere while the sun is still up. My only issue were the burgundy satin Prada pumps. A lovely shoe, yes, but not the most seamless partner for this delicate gown.

Benedetta’s Venice run proves one thing: even when Prada gets a little puzzling, it’s never boring—and she’s the kind of actress who can pull off both “morning-after Starbucks run” and “sparkling screen siren” with equal charm.
