Venice Film Festival kicked off this week with a Beetlejuice Beetlejuice bang—and hairstyles aplenty. Cate Blanchett, Jenna Ortega, Winona Ryder, Taylor Russell, and Monica Bellucci arrived at the premiere dressed in suitably show-stopping ensembles, but it was their hair that really made their looks.

There were bangs, bobs, ’90s up-dos, mid-lengths, and pixie crops—all styles which reflect our collective obsession with any and every hair trend. They also serve as great inspiration for autumn, a time when many of us refresh our look ahead of the year’s end.
There was Ortega, with her raven curtain bangs pulled into a low-slung messy bun at the back—a face-framing fringe like this looks just as good when hair is worn up as it does when it’s down, making it a great style to try if you’re after some detail around your face. Blanchett showcased a tousled midi-bob—ultra flattering with her bare décolletage—while Bellucci’s mid-length cut was suitably undone, and paired perfectly with oversized sunglasses.

Meanwhile, Ryder married a wispy fringe with a theatrical ’90s-style fanned bun—perfect for the weird and wonderful world of Beetlejuice—and Russell’s new pixie cut featured an elfin micro-fringe and a slight flick at the nape of her neck. A gamine style that elevated her cute features.
When the start of the film festival looks as good as this, it’d be rude not to opt for a hairstyle switch-up when September hits—so pick your fighter.
