The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), which is acclaimed as the second most important film festival after Cannes, took place from September 6th to September 16th in Toronto. Held annually, TIFF serves as a celebration and launching pad for Canadian, Hollywood, and international film and even gives awards to the best in cinema for the year. Through all the premieres, press conferences, and after-parties, stars had several chances to dress up and walk the red carpet. Whether they were new independent filmmakers trying to make a statement or Hollywood celebrities donning the biggest names in fashion, the stars at TIFF didn’t disappoint on the screen or on the red carpet.

At the premiere of Inescapable, Diane Kruger wore a sparkly leopard-print and black Valentino Couture dress with sheer insets in the sleeves and bands of fur surrounding the bodice.

Representing the films End of Watch and The Company You Keep, Anna Kendrick graced the red carpet in a sheer lace Mulberry dress with architectural details.

In a sea of boring and typical suits, Joseph Gordon-Levitt spiced it up quite a bit in a dapper double-breasted Thom Browne suit at the premiere of Looper.
