Adam Sandler arrived in style at the 2025 Venice Film Festival.
The actor walked the red carpet for the premiere of his new film, Jay Kelly, also starring George Clooney, at the Sala Grande theater on Thursday, Aug. 28.
Sandler, 58, stepped outside his usual sartorial choices, wearing a classic black tux with a white button-down shirt. He accented it with a black bowtie.
Meanwhile, his wife, Jackie, contrasted him in a strapless white dress that gathered at the bust and draped to the ground. The couple also brought along their two daughters, Sadie, 19, and Sunny 16. Sunny matched her mom in a white dress of her own, though hers was a halter-neck, while Sadie matched her dad in a black dress — making for a fully complementary set of outfits.

His consistent looks — even at premiere parties — have earned him the reputation of "unintentionally" becoming a style icon.

"But my wife [Jackie] always was nice to me about my clothes," he added. "Even when we were young, others would say, 'Would you put on something better than that? Your wife's dressed so beautifully.' My wife would say, 'He’s comfortable like that. Let him do that. Leave him alone.' "
He explained to PEOPLE in August 2024 that he doesn't think too intensely about what he wears, and becoming a style icon was "accidental."
"But here I am wearing goofy clothes, and I don't know. I don't think about it," he said. "Whatever is in the closet, I grab it," he insisted. "I think I got a bunch of the same socks, underwear is kinda similar too."
Sandler continued, "I grab it, I don't think about it much. Most people make fun of me in my family, but I keep moving."

HISTORIC MILESTONE: Just Now — The Very First Episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, Featuring Megyn Kelly and Erika Kirk, Has Surpassed an Unbelievable 1 BILLION Views Worldwide. Fans Are Calling It “Groundbreaking” and Industry Insiders Say, “It’s Gonna Break Records”…
THE CHARLIE KIRK SHOW: The Billion-View Debut That Shook the World
If you thought Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour was the cultural event of the century, think again. The debut of
According to ABC’s press release, “This is the single most-watched event in human history, beating the moon landing, the Super Bowl, and that one time Will Smith slapped Chris Rock.
The premiere felt like an experiment cooked up in equal parts grief, patriotism, and late-night chaos. Part heartfelt memorial, part political rally, and part daytime talk show, it began with Erika Kirk opening the program:
“Charlie dreamed of this moment — though I’m not sure he dreamed it would be hosted by me and Megyn Kelly while Kid Rock played guitar in the background.
”
Kelly then pounced with her trademark fire:
“The hens of The View are officially extinct. Welcome to television’s new golden age.”
From there, the show spiraled into what critics are already calling the
The numbers were so astronomical that Nielsen’s statisticians reportedly fainted. Viewership spanned the globe — with
One ABC executive, speaking anonymously, admitted:
“
We didn’t know numbers this big even existed outside of the Pentagon’s budget.”
Just like Swift’s concerts, the Charlie Kirk Show immediately birthed a merchandising empire. Hoodies emblazoned with “
Pundits on the right declared the show the new cornerstone of civilization. Ben Shapiro gushed: “This makes Seinfeld look like a failed college improv troupe.”
Liberals, however, were unimpressed. MSNBC complained the show “weaponizes grief for ratings,” while Rolling Stone accused ABC of “turning funerals into theme parks.” The backlash only fueled the frenzy. #1BillionPatriots trended for 48 hours straight, with fans bragging: “The left is just jealous they don’t have a show that can summon both Tucker Carlson AND Kid Rock in one segment.”
World leaders scrambled to react. King Charles III admitted: “Congratulations, though I confess I do not fully understand what a Charlie Kirk is.” In Canada, Justin Trudeau launched his own talk show, “True North with Trudeau,” which attracted 73 viewers — 72 of them staffers. Vladimir Putin volunteered to guest, claiming: “Charlie Kirk was strong man. Better than Swift.”
Even the Vatican was reportedly considering canonization proceedings after Pope Francis described the show as “miraculous.”
Rival networks panicked. NBC floated rebranding Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show as “Patriot Karaoke with Kid Rock.” CNN considered a 12-hour Anderson Cooper stare-a-thon. Netflix greenlit a documentary tentatively titled: Charlie Kirk: From Quad Debates to Immortal Icon.
As fireworks exploded outside the studio and confetti rained indoors, Erika Kirk closed the episode with tears in her eyes:
“Charlie always said he wanted to change the world. Tonight, he did. A billion people can’t be wrong.”
Megyn Kelly smirked into the camera:
“This is just the beginning. Get ready — because this show isn’t just breaking records, it’s breaking history.”
And across America, televisions glowed as fans cheered — while somewhere in Los Angeles, the cast of The View clutched their pearls in horror.
