As expected, Saturday night at the fest was about short, retro-Fifites shape party dresses with flared knee-grazing skirts and barely-there shoes. Spotted, Keira Knightley was dazzling in an a-line strapless satin dress with her hair casually updone. Mary Katrantzou, who designs the fabulous dress, is a London designer who is in one of the designer’s signature manipulated digital prints. His originality of a pretty botanical watercolour effect suits perfectly the quality of Keira.

The leg-length is just perfect for this cute dress in Keira. Knightley’s aware that TIFF is festive but also that she gets that it’s a fun and casual occasion, in other words, not so formal situation. She’s been here before (Atonement, Anna Karenina and others premiered at TIFF), this time she was here for John Carney’s Can a Song Save Your Life.
Hampshire Emily Hampshire at TIFF.
Emily Hampshire was thinking of classical black. Short and sexy, not in a similarly style as Knightley, she chose a deep V neck over hip close-fitting tailored dress. The dress showed her fine curves in all aspects as well as her enchanting. And elsewhere Freida Pinto worked the same shape in bright coral for the Indian Cinema gala.
Jennifer Garner in Toronto for TIFF.
Jennifer Garner wore that kicky 1950s length as a red lace strapless silhouette layered over fleshtone satin, a modern update of a Doris Day signature. A vintage ornamental engraving design is showed another side of her beauty style. And red went smoothly with pink beige. She had a unique taste for Formal Dresses when attending formal or semi-formal occasions.
Kate Winslet at the ‘Labor Day’ premiere at TIFF.
Over at Jason Reitman’s Labor Day premiere, he dressed that part, as did Josh Brolin, while a glowing pregnant Kate Winslet was wrapped in midnight blue. When there was an award ceremony or festive celebration, all kinds of colors shined in front of us as celebrities were in various breathtaking formal dresses for the major occasion. While James Van Der Beek and his wife’s outfits brightened up the crowds as the way a rainy evening inspired gloomy dark colors. He was in navy with a dash of teal, she in an acid chartreuse baby doll dress. Fabulous match. They were the focus at TIFF as well.

Black has always been the classical color for all formal or semi-formal occasions. It is indispensible in all situations. Different designs in black can cater to all the needs in different situations. Still celebrities at award ceremonies or press conferences prefer black more than other colors. Worn by The Invisible Woman’s Felicity Jones in a modern tuxedo-meets-kimono dress, and at Words & Pictures, Juliette Binoche was radiant in a draped black gown accessorized with a pixie cut and a suited, mustachioed Clive Owen. She has not changed at all since Three Colours: Blue that we’d be surprised if there weren’t a portrait aging in her attic.
