Meryem Saida Wore a Silver Embellished Gown at Venice Film Festival 2026

Meryem Saida brought plenty of sparkle to the red carpet at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival, arriving for the screening of L’Estranea on September 7. The Moroccan-Italian model and content creator turned heads in a shimmering silver gown that was made for the Venice spotlight.

Saida's floor-length dress featured delicate spaghetti straps, a plunging neckline and an intricate all-over embellishment that caught the light with every step. The fitted silhouette followed her figure before opening into a softly uneven hem, giving the glamorous look a little movement. The detailed bodice was decorated with ornate floral and swirling motifs, adding another layer of texture to the otherwise sleek silhouette.

She kept her accessories relatively restrained, allowing the sparkling dress to do most of the talking. Silver metallic strappy sandals peeked out beneath the hem, while a few delicate bracelets and understated earrings completed the look.

The beauty styling was just as memorable. Saida wore her naturally textured curls in a voluminous, rounded shape that framed her face and gave the polished red-carpet look a confident, retro-inspired edge. Her makeup featured softly defined eyes, glowing skin and a glossy nude-brown lip, keeping the overall beauty look sophisticated without competing with the dress.

Saida is known as a model and social-media content creator and gained wider attention in Italy through the second season of Money Road: Ogni tentazione ha un prezzo. She has also built a fashion profile through appearances at major events and fashion shows.

Her Venice appearance came as L’Estranea, Paolo Strippoli's psychological thriller, screened in competition at the festival. The film stars Jasmine Trinca, Romana Maggiora Vergano, Adriano Giannini and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi and is scheduled for Italian theatrical release in October.
