See our 15 favourite celebrities wearing couture »

Yesterday marked the beginning of Fall 2014 Couture week in Paris, and when there’s fashion you can bet there is going to be a selection of fashionable A-listers sitting front row with editors and stylists. When it comes to couture, it’s rare to see the incredible craftsmanship off the runway. So when we see celebrities wearing couture on the red carpet, we can’t help but get excited. From Rihanna’s sexy lingerie look by Ulyana Sergeenko to Diane Kruger’s gown fit for a princess by Elie Saab, we celebrate the start of Fall 2014 Couture week by looking back at 15 of our favourite celebrities wearing couture from the Spring 2014 Couture shows.

See the top 15 young celebrities on the red carpet »

Is it just us or are young celebrities killing it on the red carpet as of late? When it comes to red carpet style, it’s expected to see some of our favourite (and more mature) celebrities making the list – think Diane Kruger, Cate Blanchett and Angelina Jolie. But lately, young starlets have been bringing their wardrobe A-game to the red carpet, naturally making their way onto best dressed lists alongside celebs that have been in the industry a lot longer. Sure, when it comes to talent, age doesn’t matter, but after stumbling across some of the ages of these young stars, we’d be lying if our minds weren’t blown to see how young these stars actually are. Because let’s be real here, some of us were not dressed so impeccably at age 14 (we’re looking at you Kiernan Shipka) or have Miu Miu campagins on our resume (ahem, Hailee Steinfeld and Elle Fanning). From up-and-coming Hollywood star Nicola Peltz to the industry’s top model Cara Delevingne, we’ve rounded up 15 A-lists stars under the age of 21 who have been topping the best dressed lists lately.

See the Chanel Cruise celebrity style up close »

Given the fact that the Chanel 2014 Cruise collection took place in Dubai, there was never a doubt the A-list guest list would be anything short of the best.

Dancing to the tunes of Janelle Monae in the jewel of a city, celebrities were dressed in the most recent Chanel-clad ensembles, making any fan of the designer house swoon with envy. One to lean towards more gentleman-inspired outfits, Tilda Swinton surprised us in an elegant black tweed dress that featured a corset-inspired cut from the Fall 2014 collection. Dakota Fanning also sported a similar silhouette standing out against the grey skyline in a multi-colour feather-inspired Spring 2014 couture dress. But if it were a competition of who embodied the culture of the city best with their sartorial choices, it would have to go to long-time ambassadress Vanessa Paradis and Freida Pinto. While Paradis teamed a ‘20s-inspired hairstyle with an ivory sleeveless embroidered dress, we loved how the Indian actress worked a frilly two-piece ensemble from the Pre-Fall 2014 collection making it the ideal outfit for the desert city.

See photos from the Chanel event in Dallas »

Last night, all eyes were on Dallas as the nouveau riche home of the high end hosted fashion’s elite for Chanel’s latest Métiers d’Art a.k.a. Pre-Fall collection show. Everything is bigger in Texas, a sentiment which Karl Lagerfeld certainly shares, so what better place to host his latest extravaganza and announce Kristen Stewart as its face.

Though Stewart currently fronts Balenciaga’s Florobotanica fragrance campaign, Chanel has clearly courted her over the past few years, dressing the actress for red carpet events and hosting her at several shows. Known for her adherence to un-mussed style, she’s the perfect front for the Western-inspired collection. It’s also the perfect thing to lift her aesthetic association out of Twilight territory, placing it back where she belongs: On the Road.

Earlier today in Paris, sisters Dakota and Elle Fanning sat front row at Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2014 show to see Marc Jacobs’ final collection for the fashion house. The Fanning girls, who both appeared in past campaigns for Marc Jacobs’ own namesake brand, go tête-à-tête in today’s best dressed feature.

Dakota Fanning wore a floor grazing black dress of sheer lace layers from the Louis Vuitton Resort 2014 collection. Her accessories included a black monogrammed LV clutch and black open toe sandals. Mimicking her sister, Elle Fanning picked her look from the same collection, appearing leggy in an all white artfully embroidered mini skirt and a matching loose long sleeved top. Her pick was a great contrast to her sister’s all black and her teal wedge sandals added just the right pop of colour to her all frosty look. Dakota loosely tied her hair while Elle let hers hang on her shoulders. Both girls went for simple makeup with a rosy lipstick, Dakota’s was slightly matte and Elle’s glossy.

See the TIFF 2013 red carpet best dressed picks »

After ten days of red carpet premieres, after parties and celebrity stalking, TIFF 2013 has officially come to an end.

Possibly the best (and most well-dressed) year yet, Toronto had quite the roster of A-list celebrities in town to promote new films and projects. While the crush-worthy men looked as dapper as always, it was really the ladies who stole the show, bringing glamorous outfits onto the red carpet.

Cool blue tones were a favourite amongst the stars (possibly a nod to the emerging Spring 2014 trend?) with the colour appearing on Olivia Wilde, Jessica Chastain and Jennifer Aniston—to name a few.

And while celebrities like Taylor Swift, Sandra Bullock and Scarlett Johansson opted for the minimalist yet sultry look in solid colours, how could anyone forget Keira Knightley’s whimsical printed dress by Mary Katrantzou.

Not ready to let go of TIFF just yet? From Nicole Kidman’s tailored pantsuit to Kate Winslet’s glowing pregnancy style, we’ve rounded up the top TIFF red carpet looks and all you have to do is vote for your favourite.

See all the photos from the Night Moves party! »

This weekend’s TIFF parties have been loaded with A-listers, but at the Grey Goose Soho House last night, it was A-list with a capital ‘A’ for the post-premiere party of Night Moves. The film stars Dakota Fanning and Jesse Eisenberg (plus Swedish dreamboat Peter Sarsgaard, though he sadly wasn’t in town) who play environmentalists-turned-eco-terrorists dealing with a major “moral maelstrom.” Both stars were there last night and while we wonder how the notoriously curt Eisenberg held up, we were mainly focused on Fanning’s top knot and super-hunk bf Jamie Strachan. Fanning swapped her Atelier Versace red carpet look in favour of a more relaxed blazer, crop top and pencil skirt combo. Jennifer Morrison was also rocking some amazing hair, with a long, perfectly-messy fishtail braid that started as a French braid at her crown. (That’s definitely going into our Pinterest inspiration folder.)

See all the pictures from the Variety Studio at Holt Renfrew »

Critics were rendered speechless at Friday night’s premiere of 12 Years a Slave—and at the Variety Studio yesterday at Holt Renfrew, the same thing happened to us when Michael Fassbender, one of the film’s stars, entered the room along with director Steve McQueen and a few members of the cast. Wearing a black shawl collar sweater and dark jeans, Fassy (as we’re in the habit of calling him) sent our fangirl hearts racing in delight as we shrieked inside, trying to process that we were breathing in the same air as him. Also, dude has like the tiniest waist ever.

While waiting to be interviewed, we watched as Fassbender made a beeline for a tray of strawberries. Despite making a sour facial reaction, he gave the berry a thumbs up. No, like literally a thumbs up. Annnnd we’re officially jealous of fruit. Then he tilted back a glass of Moët, chatting with co-star Alfre Woodard and laughing at something she said before posing for a photo with her. Meanwhile the film’s lead, Chiwetel Ejiofor, sidled up to the British Airways bar and had a cup of something hot—hopefully having to say thank you to everyone complimenting his much-buzzed-about performance hasn’t made him lose his voice.

See the Last of Robin Hood party photos »

The champagne was flowing at last night’s party for The Last of Robin Hood. Before the cast arrived (A-listers Susan Sarandon, Kevin Kline and Dakota Fanning were all confirmed to attend), a select group of guests indulged in Moët & Chandon from golden, oversized goblets while taking in a stunning sunset view of Toronto’s skyline from the rooftop of the glitzy Park Hyatt hotel in Yorkville (does it get any better than that?). We chatted with Elaine Lui aka. Lainey Gossip and got the lowdown on her new show, The Social, what she’ll be wearing during TIFF and her trendy new accessory, a flavoured e-cigarette (they’ve been seen all over New York Fashion Week).

It’s only a week into the 70th annual Venice Film Festival and the stars are bringing their sartorial A-game. To help us keep track of the endless red carpet premieres, photo-calls and press conferences, we’re rounding it up with 10 of our favourite fashion looks so far. With TIFF coming up this week, we’re getting a good idea of what the celebrities are bringing to the red carpet and let’s just say, we’re not worried at all.

We’re used to seeing Sandra Bullock playing it safe with monochromatic tones on the red carpet, and so it was a breath of fresh air to see the Oscar-winning actress in two colourful ensembles last week. Arriving in style, Bullock wore a colourblock dress by Alex Perry and Giuseppe Zanotti heels at the photo call for her film Gravity. Later in the evening, she left us speechless at the opening ceremony in a red strapless silk gown by J. Mendel from the Resort 2014 collection as she completed the outfit with Martin Katz jewellery and Roger Vivier black clutch and ankle-strap sandals.

It’s here! After about a month of speculation since the Toronto International Film Festival first announced its roster of films, a list of attendees has been released through the festival’s Pinterest page and it’s A-list enough to get your stalking senses tingling. We ain’t even going to try to hide the fact that we become extraordinary (but elegant) creeps during TIFF, so without further ado, here’s our game plan for approaching the biggest and best stars at TIFF 2013.

From the royal baby to impending celebrity sighting, this week’s awesome newsreel just won’t stop. Yesterday, TIFF announced the first batch of films to be premiered at TIFF 2013 and as you can imagine, the list is already A-lister stacked. Since we have no shame when it comes to being starstruck, we’e okay with telling you that we’re already way more than a little bit excited to see what our favourite stars wear on the red carpet (and IRL, if we’re lucky!) when it’s game time.

In addition to the babeular list of studs that includes Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Matthew McConaughey, Ewan McGregor, Jude Law, James Franco, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Adam Levine and Chris Hemsworth, the ladies expected are pretty cray! Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock are just three! Shwing!

So without further ado, let’s make believe what 12 of TIFF 2013’s most hopeful attendees will be wearing to the festival’s premieres. Let’s make it happen!
