Venice Serves Romance: Kaia Gerber and Lewis Pullman’s Sartorial Love Story
Venice has always been a city of dreams, but this week it became the backdrop for fashion royalty’s most captivating love story. Kaia Gerber, the 23-year-old model who has graced every major fashion house from Versace to Valentino, was spotted in an absolutely intoxicating display of affection with Lewis Pullman, the 32-year-old Thunderbolts actor, as they departed the Venice International Film Festival on Monday.
The couple’s public display of passion was nothing short of cinematic—and their fashion choices? Pure editorial gold. Against the romantic backdrop of Venice’s historic canals, Gerber and Pullman served looks that could have walked straight off a Vanity Fair spread.
Gerber, ever the fashion darling, selected a breathtaking Givenchy creation from the house’s Spring 2026 collection—a piece that perfectly encapsulated the modern romantic aesthetic. The dress featured an intricate strappy high boatneck that elegantly showcased her sculpted arms, while delicate beadwork adorned the form-fitting, sheer bodice with an almost ethereal quality. The lower portion flowed into a sparkly tulle design that danced just above her ankles—quintessential Givenchy drama with that signature Parisian je ne sais quoi.
Her accessories game was equally impeccable: those coveted $525 Khaite x Oliver Peoples 1969C sunglasses (currently on every fashion insider’s wishlist), classic black Repetto Cendrillon pointy-toe pumps that whispered effortless chic, and the pièce de résistance—Givenchy’s Evening Clutch in Nappa Leather with Crystal Jewel from Fall 2025, retailing at $6,100. The crystalline details caught the Venetian light like scattered stardust.
Pullman complemented his leading lady flawlessly in classic black-tie sophistication—a perfectly tailored tuxedo with bow tie that channeled old Hollywood glamour. Both wore coordinating black sunglasses, creating that mysterious, untouchable aura that only true style icons possess.
The romance wasn’t merely in their embrace—it was woven into every fabric choice, every carefully curated detail. As Pullman’s film “The Testament of Ann Lee,” co-starring Amanda Seyfried, premiered at the festival, the couple seemed utterly absorbed in their own world. Gerber’s playful cigarette moment channeled classic European sophistication, while Pullman’s protective embraces spoke to a love story unfolding in real-time.
Their journey from the festival to their hotel via water taxi became an unexpectedly charming adventure when they discovered cash-only policies—proving that even fashion royalty experiences delightfully human moments.
This Venice appearance marks the couple’s most public display since being romantically linked in January during Pullman’s birthday celebrations. Sources close to the pair describe their relationship as refreshingly “low-key” following Gerber’s previous high-profile romance with Austin Butler.
In a world where celebrity style often feels calculated, Gerber and Pullman’s Venice moment felt authentically romantic—a perfect marriage of impeccable fashion and genuine emotion against one of the world’s most beautiful backdrops.
