Ever Anderson's Venice Film Festival Debut: Vintage Dior and Father Joe Premiere

Ever Anderson, 18-year-old actor and daughter of Milla Jovovich, made her Venice Film Festival debut this week with the premiere of Barthélemy Grossmann's action-thriller Father Joe, co-starring Kiefer Sutherland and Al Pacino. Anderson plays Felicity, the unlikely sidekick to Sutherland's man of faith who wages a violent war against Manhattan's criminal underworld. She was drawn to the character's empathy and non-judgmental lens, noting that Felicity felt real on the page, which is rare. During her brief stay in Venice, Anderson balanced an 18-hour press day and midnight screening with some sightseeing, but mostly enjoyed the local food. For the festival, she wore a 1930s silk-organza vintage dress from Avalon Vintage in Highland Park, Los Angeles, paired with a 1980s Christian Dior necklace and earrings, green heels from Dior, and a pearl-colored leather clutch. For the photo call and premiere, she wore two looks by Dior's Jonathan Anderson, including a blush-pink strapless gown from the fall 2026 collection and an embellished slip dress from Dior's resort 2027 collection, which she described as a nod to the jazz age. Anderson, now an official Dior ambassador, praised Jonathan Anderson's talent and love for films. After the festival, she looks forward to returning to Paris for cozy fall activities like reading and decorating her apartment. The article includes a gallery of photos from her festival appearances.
