While the Golden Lion—the highest honour you can achieve at the Venice Film Festival—trophy ceremony officially concluded the parade of glamour taking over the Palazzo del Cinema for the 81st edition of the annual event, Hollywood’s elite has wasted no time flocking to their next red carpet. Indeed, A-Listers have begun arriving in the Great White North for the 2024 Toronto Film Festival with their premiere style slightly more metropolitan than the opulent displays on the Lido di Venezia.
Yes, the theatres of the Ontario capital call for a little more experimentation and street-forward acumen. (See: Emma Corrin’s custom Miu Miu and JW Anderson looks from the press tour of My Policeman in 2022.) Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley set the tone for this during the opening night screening of their latest body horror film The Substance. Rather than embrace method dressing for the occasion, Moore and Qualley embraced the respective ends of the tailoring spectrum in a body-conscious Thom Browne skirt suit and ethereal Chanel micro jumpsuit and cape, respectively.
Perennial re-wear queen, Cate Blanchett, also revived a look from Givenchy’s Clare Waight Keller era. The dress from the Spring/Summer 2019 collection is akin to a holy grail fashion find these days, further proving that there’s nowhere Blanchett shines more than on a red carpet. Elsewhere, romance was offered a reprieve from these sharp looks as Daisy Edgar-Jones brought her tempest of style in a breezy sky-blue Gucci gown and Sydney Sweeney dressed as her sartorial flowers in bespoke Erdem.
However, it was Florence Pugh in custom Tamara Ralph for the premiere of her heart-breaking new film We Live In Time that deserved the accolade ‘best dressed’. Nevertheless, with Elizabeth Olsen in Schiaparelli couture and Gia Coppola giving Alessandro Michele’s Valentino its red carpet debut, there are plenty of stellar fashion moments to go around. See the most dramatic looks below.
