Jonathan Bailey Smolders on Red Carpet at Armani Beauty 'I Will' Launch Event in Venice | Just Jared

Jonathan Bailey is back on the red carpet during the 2026 Venice Film Festival!
The 38-year-old Bridgerton actor, and People‘s current Sexiest Man Alive, posed for photos on the red carpet as he arrived at the Armani Beauty “I Will” Launch Event on Saturday (September 5) held at The Venice Venice Hotel in Venice, Italy.

For the event, Jonathan – who is the Giorgio Armani Global Fragrance Ambassador – looked handsome in an all black suit paired with sunglasses.
Jonathan has been in Italy for the past several days now attending events during the film festival. For the ninth year, Armani Beauty is the official beauty sponsor for the international film festival, which is running this year from September 2 through September 12.

If you didn’t see the news, Jonathan announced that he was exiting West End production of Sunday in the Park with George, weeks after Ariana Grande also dropped out of the play.
Earlier this year, it was announced that Jonathan will be starring alongside Natalie Portman in the new thriller Pumping Black. Find out more about the movie here!
