Apple CEO Tim Cook showed up in style at the 81st Venice International Film Festival in Italy this weekend, where he rubbed shoulders with some of Hollywood’s elite.

He and other Apple executives are promoting “Disclaimer,” an Apple TV+ limited series that will premiere at the festival and then debut worldwide in October.

Here is a look at what Cook and his colleagues were up to over the weekend.

The day before Cook walked the red carpet on August 29, he joined George and Amal Clooney at their 18th-century villa on Lake Como, The Daily Mail reported.

The trio took a boat to dinner at Villa Passalacqua, a 5-star hotel.

Clooney and Brad Pitt are starring in “Wolfs,” which is having its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. After a limited theatrical release, it will be available on Apple TV+ on September 27.

During a press conference in Venice on Sunday, Clooney said it was “a bummer” that Apple was not giving the film a wider theatrical release.

He enjoyed a luxury cocktail hour.

Cook spent the evening with Blanchett (who is also an executive producer on the series), Cuarón, and Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Services.

They enjoyed a cocktail hour at the hotel Excelsior Pool Bar, a luxury venue with a view.
