The Venice Film Festival comes to an end this weekend, squelching many a celebrity’s opportunity to walk the red carpet in as much fabric as humanly possible.

Stars descended upon the floating city for the yearly festival, which began Aug. 28, wearing gowns they couldn’t have possibly fit in their carry-ons. There was tulle! There were feathers! There was Meryl Streep in a funky Givenchy outfit!

Timothée Chalamet won our vote for best-dressed of the week in the silver suit of our dreams, but the ladies below certainly get an A for effort. And a P for poof.

Check out the most outrageously dressed celebrities of the week below.
