It's the season of film festivals and, with award season closely following behind, our favorite stars are just getting started with their red carpet looks. This year, the Toronto International Film Film held premieres for films local and international alike, some parts of beloved franchises ("Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery") and others featuring iconic silver screen debuts (Charli XCX in two films: "Eurpjca" and "Sacrifice" ). While we patiently wait to see the films for ourselves, we have endless red carpet looks to delve into in the meantime.
From lingerie-inspired moments on Charli XCX and Maude Apatow for their respective premieres to sheer statements on Samara Weaving and Lena Goring at a party anticipating the Golden Globes, and despite coming after the juggernaut of the Venice Film Festival, TIFF fashion held its own. And, as always, we have our favorites.
