Celebrities At Aston Martin’s Star-Studded New Vanquish Reveal In Venice

Aston Martin’s new flagship debuts with a Venetian backdrop.

Right now, the romantic and historic city of Venice is hosting the annual Venice International Film Festival, a star-studded event where cinematic excellence and the arts take the spotlight, along with the best of fashion, music, culture, and the rich history of Venice being showcased. Aston Martin’s global debut of the new V12-powered Vanquish flagship grand tourer took the spotlight, as well, set beautifully against the waters of the Venetian Lagoon, and attended by some of the Venice Film Festival’s biggest stars.

Gathering at the Marina Militare, the grand debut of the new Aston Martin Vanquish featured performances from Masego, Walter Ricci, and DJ James Righton. In addition, five Academy Award-winning actors attended the premiere: George Clooney, joined by his wife Amal Clooney, Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Douglas, Kevin Costner, and Adrien Brody. Celebrating 60 years of its iconic appearances in James Bond films, famed 007 actor Daniel Craig also attended the debut, along with Joe Alwyn and Micheal Ward.

Other celebrity guests at the event included Poppy Delevingne, Bianca Brandolini, costume designer Sandy Powell, Joel Edgerton, Haley Bennett, Cailee Spaeny, and Joe Wright. Guests were treated to a cocktail reception, as well as a three-course culinary experience from Dolada, which holds the longest-standing Michelin Star in Italy.

Aston Martin’s Formula 1 drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll unveiled the new flagship grand tourer, which revives the V12 powertrain in Aston Martin’s lineup by introducing an all-new, Aston Martin-developed, bespoke 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine. The car will be strictly limited to fewer than 1,000 examples per year.

An ionic nameplate that hasn’t been used since 2018, the new Aston Martin Vanquish revives the flagship Aston Martin name that featured cinematically, driven by James Bond in Die Another Day, and featured in films like Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and The Italian Job. Now, at an event that highlights cinematic excellence in one of the most historic and beautiful European cities, the Aston Martin Vanquish is back.
