Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach Step Out in Style at Venice Film Festival
Kai Montgomery here, reluctantly breaking down yet another red carpet spectacle because apparently, no one else is going to do it right. Yes, yes, Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach—Hollywood’s most private power couple—have decided to grace the public eye with their presence. And if you’re wondering why this is even news, well, clearly you haven’t been paying attention.
On August 28, at the Venice Film Festival premiere of Jay Kelly—a film directed and co-written by Baumbach—the duo made a rare joint appearance. The event marked one of the few times the notoriously private couple has been seen together on a red carpet since their quiet 2023 wedding. The pair, who have been together since the early 2010s and share two sons, Harold, 6, and another child whose name remains undisclosed, kept things low-key but undeniably stylish.
Greta Gerwig, fresh off the global success of Barbie, stunned in a one-shoulder black gown with a floral pattern, a tulle train, and a slicked-back blonde bob. She accessorized with a bold silver chain and black stilettos. Noah Baumbach, ever the minimalist, opted for a classic tuxedo. The two shared subtle, sweet moments on the carpet—hand-holding, quiet laughter, and that whole “we’ve been together for over a decade” vibe that’s equal parts charming and mildly annoying if you’re single and bitter.
While Gerwig and Baumbach are known for keeping their personal lives under wraps, their professional synergy is no secret. The duo has collaborated on multiple projects since their work on Frances Ha in 2013. Baumbach himself has praised Gerwig’s writing prowess, calling it a revelation during an interview at the BFI London Film Festival in 2022. Gerwig, for her part, has called Baumbach her “most important collaborator,” a sentiment she shared with Vogue in 2019.
Despite their individual projects—Gerwig is set to direct a new Narnia film while Baumbach continues his work on Jay Kelly—the two remain deeply intertwined both personally and professionally. And while their red carpet appearances are rare, their creative partnership is anything but.
Meanwhile, the Venice Film Festival was packed with other A-listers, including George and Amal Clooney, Adam Sandler and his family, Kirsten Dunst, Laura Dern, and Heidi Klum with her daughter Leni. But let’s be honest, the real story here is how two of Hollywood’s most reclusive talents managed to make a splash without even trying. Because of course they did.
So, what’s next for the power couple? Probably more low-key brilliance, more Oscar nods, and maybe—just maybe—a few more red carpets if the project is “important enough.” But don’t hold your breath. These two are too busy being effortlessly brilliant to care about your Instagram likes.
And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things—unless you count a perfectly coordinated black gown and tuxedo at a film premiere.
