Miss Venezuela 2025 Andrea del Val has shared shocking video footage showing blood pouring down her face after allegedly being attacked by her celebrity stylist in their hotel room at the Cannes Film Festival — with the suspect arrested by French police following the violent incident.
The 29-year-old beauty queen filmed the clip from what appears to be a badly trashed hotel room, with furniture scattered across the floor and visible signs of a violent struggle throughout the accommodation. Speaking directly to camera with severe wounds to her face, del Val named her stylist Giovanni Laguna, 33, as the man responsible. “Look, this is what Giovanni Laguna did,” she said. “Congratulations, Giovanni, this is what I wanted, for you to show who you were.”
Guests at the luxury hotel reportedly contacted police after hearing shouting, blows and signs of a violent struggle coming from the room. In the footage, Laguna can be seen sitting on a chair behind del Val as she films. Spanish journalist Jordi Martin subsequently shared footage appearing to show Laguna being escorted away by officers in Cannes. Del Val received medical attention following the incident.
The exact cause of the altercation has not been confirmed. French authorities have not released a detailed statement and it remains unclear what charges, if any, Laguna may ultimately face. The case remains under active investigation in France.
Laguna, originally from Churuguara in Venezuela’s Falcon state, is a well-known figure in the Latin American beauty pageant world. Since 2023 he has served as creative director for Miss Universe Colombia and has worked with numerous celebrities and beauty queens throughout his career. He also has ties to Miss Universe Mexico 2025 winner Fatima Bosch, though there is no suggestion she was involved in the Cannes incident.
