Elizabeth is on the prize jury for the Venice Film Festival this year, so it was self-explanatory that she was in attendance on the opening night.
The actress-producer-director wore her blonde hair swept back in an intricate up-do and opted for simple and elegant accessories in the shape of two rings, one on each hand, and small earrings.
