Offset by her signature red crop of hair, Tilda stood out in her brightly coloured jacket and trousers.
She added a simple white top underneath and black heels, while bright pink lipstick added another bold pop of colour.
Tilda was joined at the photocall by The Human Voice writer and director Pedro Almodóvar, with the two collaborators arriving arm in arm for the event.
The short drama film is based upon the 1928 play of the same name by Jean Cocteau and marks Almodóvar’s English-language debut.

At the end of her acceptance speech, Tilda gave a nod to her fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe star Chadwick as she said: ‘Viva Venezia. Cinema cinema cinema. Wakanda Forever. Nothing but love’.
Tilda portrayed The Ancient One in Doctor Strange and Avengers: Endgame while Chadwick starred as T’Challa/Black Panther in the 2018 blockbuster Black Panther, which is set in the fictional country of Wakanda.
Chadwick tragically passed away on August 28 following a four-year battle with colon cancer.

‘The names on the list of those awarded this honor, meanwhile, they are the names of my masters. They’re the elders of my tribe.
‘The poets of the language I love above others. I sing their songs in the bath. I’m the punk kid film nut hitching a ride to the station to get to the foothills of the heights of their achievements.’

When it was announced over the summer that Tilda would be receiving the award, she said in a statement: ‘This great festival has been dear to my heart for three decades: to be honoured by her in this way is extremely humbling.
‘To come to Venice, this year of all years, to celebrate immortal cinema and her defiant survival in the face of all the challenges that evolution might throw at her – as at us all – will be my sincere joy.’
