Sept. 9 2026, Published 3:49 a.m. ET
Emily Austin may have made her name in sports, but her latest trip to Venice looks decidedly Hollywood.
The 25-year-old broadcaster enjoyed another major red carpet moment Sunday night when she attended the amfAR Gala Venezia 2026 at the Hilton Molino Stucky.
Austin embraced the occasion in Caroline’s Couture, completing her look with Chopard jewels as she joined a guest list packed with famous faces.
Pamela Anderson, Orlando Bloom, Bebe Rexha, Marina Abramović and Taika Waititi were among those attending the annual charity event, which brought together stars from across entertainment and fashion.

One of Austin’s most notable moments of the night came alongside Caroline Scheufele.
The Chopard co-president and artistic director — who is also behind Caroline’s Couture — posed with Austin during the gala, creating a fitting fashion moment as the broadcaster wore Scheufele's designs and Chopard jewelry.
Chopard was also the Signature Sponsor of the evening.
Austin’s amfAR appearance followed another glamorous outing during the 83rd Venice International Film Festival. Days earlier, she stepped onto the red carpet surrounding Furies, executive produced by George Clooney, wearing another Caroline’s Couture and Chopard combination.
The consecutive appearances show another side of Austin as she branches out from the sports broadcasting career that originally put her in the spotlight.
Hollywood is already becoming a bigger part of her schedule.
Austin is expected to appear in Frequency of Fear this winter, while other film projects are being kept under wraps.
Meanwhile, her busy life is set to become the subject of No Days Off with Emily Austin, a forthcoming reality project following her work across sports, entertainment, business and Hollywood.
Her Venice adventure could offer an early glimpse of what's ahead.
After spending the week moving between film premieres and exclusive events — while rubbing shoulders with Hollywood and fashion royalty — Austin's transition from sports personality to entertainment multi-hyphenate appears to be well underway.
