Welcome to Things I Finish, a franchise where Coveteur editors probe their favorite tastemakers about the things they buy, watch, listen to, and consume on repeat.
As the stars ascend on Venice for the iconic annual film festival, we keep our eyes peeled for show-stopping gowns, designer red carpet debuts, and looks that carry an underlying Italian flair. But said red carpet looks would be nothing without glam that ties everything together—especially when it's Armani.
Chase Sui Wonders stepped out for Armani's Beauty VIP Dinner at Royal Gardens in, of course, full Armani glam: mauve cheeks, a light satin lip, and an unmistakable glow that had her looking like she basked in the Italian sun all day. "Have fun with it and own your choices even if those choices are no makeup and a weird outfit," Wonders says about her day-to-day beauty philosophy.

"We spent a month running through the Venetian streets like a bunch of madmen.” When in town, you can catch her visiting Doge's Palace or hanging out at her friend Gianni Basso's printmaking shop. "Doge's Palace and Gianni Basso are two national treasures," she says. This time around, Wonders is looking forward to seeing films Wild Horse Nine and Primetime and more glowy Armani glam.
