It occurred to me that I had a red carpet roundup opportunity right in my own backyard last week with the Toronto International Film Festival!
I didn’t spot any stars around, but I don’t usually hang out at the trendy spots, either. I mean, Angelina Jolie’s not going to swing by my local grocery store to pick up a mesh bag of avocados.
As with yesterday’s Emmys roundup, I’m starting off with my favorites:
Top 7 TIFF 2017 Looks
(in alphabetical order)
This is perfect on someone like Halle—is that a hint of nipslip, though?
• • • • •
Elegant, and the stardust sparkles are a pretty touch.
• • • • •
I wish she’d done simpler shoes with this, but I’m still loving it.
• • • • •
Bold color on a simple dress. Very flattering.
• • • • •
So pretty, love the color choice for her, and the ruffles aren’t overdone.
• • • • •
Never a miss with this one.
• • • • •
premiere
She looks like a sparkling Art Deco skyscraper. In a good way.
• • • • •
I Yam What I Yam
I’m just surprised that Gaga only has two inches on me!
• • • • •
Grace Jones definitely has more than two inches on me.
She’s 69 and she looks badass.
• • • • •
This is remarkably adorable for HBC.
I want to steal her lunchbox.
• • • • •
This is so quintessential Angelina, isn’t it?
It does look like she picked it up from the IKEA window coverings department.
(Here she is again elsewhere at TIFF.)
• • • • •
She’s never met a pattern she didn’t like.
Return of the Pantsuit
I want to talk about this miss of a suit, but I can’t get past
what looks like a small toaster in her hand.
• • • • •
This is so bonkers, it almost works.
• • • • •
Imagine if Kate Mara wore Zara. That’d be fun to say.
The shoes are Louboutin, though.
• • • • •
She looks like a tiny comedian.
Ladies in Lingerie
This is super fetching. Is she wearing 6″ heels under there?
• • • • •
Way too much going on. Even J.Law looks confused.
This was slightly better.
• • • • •
More nightgown than lingerie, but I thought I’d squeeze this pretty
but unexciting number in here. I love red on a redhead.
• • • • •
A little too haunty-ghosty for me.
Oh Honey, No
I usually love Diane’s styling, but this looks like a sci-fi costuming gone wrong.
• • • • •
I feel like this would have been all right until she added that Chanel belt.
I’m assuming it was not originally part of the dress…but I could be wrong.
• • • • •
At least three bad dress ideas rolled into one.
• • • • •
White mesh is not a pleasant look…
• • • • •
…and neither is beige mesh, with what look like tiny bugs swarming all over it.
• • • • •
Halloween is next month.
• • • • •
I mainly hate the footwear. The dress/jacket does look like something
figure skaters wear when it gets really cold. (Plus: her name is Lutz!)
• • • • •
I didn’t believe this was Margot for a good minute.
How are you supposed to do a triple lutz in that, Tonya?
• • • • •
Thought this was nice until I noticed the boxer briefs.
• • • • •
Like a bad Sailor Moon cosplay.
• • • • •
Didn’t realize she was moonlighting as a Clinique SA, these days.
• • • • •
This is a bit less “Clinique”—and she brought her own makeup train case!
(I don’t actually hate this one. I just wanted to place it after Annette Bening.)
• • • • •
Oh dear.
• • • • •
Looks like she’s dressed up as a handbag.
• • • • •
Oh honey, no…
Honorable Mentions
…phew, that’s better.
• • • • •
I wish she’d do this kind of thing more often.
Those one-color column dresses get really boring.
• • • • •
Very classy, as usual. Pretty earrings, too.
• • • • •
Your typical Kate Winslet red carpet look. Carry on.
• • • • •
This is how you slowly morph into Helena Bonham Carter.
• • • • •
For a split second, I thought this was Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
(They’re both great-looking, of course!)
• • • • •
I think Rosamund Pike is stunning, and I almost love this look,
but in the end it’s all just too much.
• • • • •
Haven’t seen her for ages! She looks fab.
• • • • •
She looks like she just awoke from a nap on her chaise longue.
The messy ribbon bugs me.
• • • • •
A bit costume-y (don’t synchronized swimmers wear swim caps?),
but it’s a cute look on little Arya.
• • • • •
More Canadian ladies! Tatiana Maslany and Rachel McAdams
are floating around here somewhere, too.
• • • • •
Bit of a snooze, though she looks fine.
• • • • •
Claire, this just isn’t you!
• • • • •
This is the kind of comfy dress I wear
when I know I’m going to eat a meal at an event.
• • • • •
