Kaya Scodelario hits the red carpet in a breathtaking gown as she premieres her new film, Wuthering Heights, during the 2011 Venice International Film Festival on Tuesday (September 6) in Italy.

The 19-year-old actress and her cast mates also attended a photo call for their film at the Palazzo del Cinema earlier in the day.

En route to the film festival, Kaya tweeted, “And so the journey to Venice begins!! Feel like a 5year old I’m so excited..”

The Playlist says of Kaya‘s role as Cathy in the film, “Kaya Scodelario, perhaps the best-known face in the cast after starring in four seasons of British TV hit ‘Skins’ (as well as cropping up in ‘Moon,’ among others), is a heart-wrenching revelation as Older Cathy.”
