Cute couple: Amy Adams ensured she'd be the main talking point at the Nocturnal Animals premiere as she donned a glittering gold gown to join husband Darren Le Gallo on the red carpet at the 73rd Venice Film Festival on Friday

Unashamed in their display of affection, the couple were the epitome of a loved-up pair as they puckered up in front of the cameras and wrapped a hand around each other's waists.

It was easy to see why Darren couldn't keep his hands off his beautiful wife as she dazzled in a vibrant sequinned gown that glimmered under the bright lights of the premiere.

Clinging to her hourglass figure, the one-shoulder gown featured a cape-like neckline that swathed her petite top half, yet still allowed a glimpse of her toned frame.

Keeping the rest of her accessories simple, she carried a small gold clutch and tinted aviator sunglasses, opting for no jewellery so she wouldn't detract from her glamorous gown.
