Mara Sisters Rule Venice Red Carpet: Style & Cinema Collide!

“Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters!” The famous song lyric perfectly sums up the vibe at the 2026 Venice Film Festival, where Kate and Rooney Mara have turned their joint appearance into a sibling style spectacle. The acclaimed actresses are in town for the premiere of their new film, Werner Herzog's “Bucking Fastards,” marking their first collaboration on an acting project.

The film, which has already garnered buzz for being “wonderfully weird,” is based on the real-life identical twin sisters Freda and Greta Chaplin. Given the film's twinning theme, it's only fitting that the Mara sisters have doubled down on their glamorous fashions. Working with their respective stylists, Johnny Wujek (for Kate) and Ryan Hastings (for Rooney), the duo has been consistently shutting down the red carpet.

Their approach?

Cool, modern looks that are complementary without being overly matchy-matchy, showcasing their individual flair while still presenting a united front.

Their fashion parade kicked off with the film's photo call, where Rooney and Kate graced the step and repeat in coordinated black and white designs.

Rooney opted for a clean and romantic aesthetic in a white halter-style Stella McCartney gown, featuring a gracefully ruffled skirt hemline. Kate, meanwhile, chose a slightly more ethereal route with a black and white McQueen mini dress adorned with delicate lace trimming.

Both sisters completed their sophisticated looks with minimal white sandals, highlighting their effortless elegance.

The Maras then followed up with their formal evening attire for the premiere, once again embracing a matching black and white theme. Rooney sported a silky black Louis Vuitton slip dress, elevated with a unique twist: a bubble-like hemline crafted from gathered, rosette-like ruffles. Kate chose a more understated yet equally striking path, dazzling in a sleek sequined Armani Privé dress featuring a chic lace-up back.

It's hard to imagine being so perfectly on-point with your sibling's style, especially when most sisters are busy raiding each other's closets or showcasing completely opposite fashion senses! #VeniceFilmFestival #MaraSisters #RedCarpetFashion #BuckingFastards
