See The Railway Man TIFF 2013 red carpet photos »

Last night, two of Hollywood’s biggest accented stars descended upon TIFF 2013 for the world premiere of The Railway Man, a psychological wartime drama starring the ever-dreamy Colin Firth as a World War Two POW, War Horse’s Jeremy Irvine as his younger self and Nicole Kidman as his wife. For the premiere at Toronto’s Roy Thompson Hall, Firth and his IRL wife, Livia Firth looked real cute-like as they exchanged glances and posed for a crowd of adoring fans. A sans-Keith Urban Nicole Kidman stunned in a black form-fitting Altuzarra pantsuit with lace detailing, Louis Vuitton pumps and drop silver and black earrings. Accenting her look with a bright raspberry lip, Kidman looked as iconic as ever with her signature milky white skin, pool blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair tied tightly in a low chignon.

And while we’re talking fashion, can we just get a hell yes for Jeremy Irvine? He’s real haute, and by that we mean hot in a fashion-y way. Just look at those chiseled features in this Vogue photo shoot alongside Arizona Muse from 2011. He’s a fragrance front man in the making, if we dare call that first.

Fashion for a cause—be it Livia Firth’s Green Carpet Challenge or the Marc Jacobs Protect the Skin You’re In Tees—always gets us going. Toronto is also doing its philanthropic bit with the third annual Dare to Wear Love fashion show on March 16, to close out (the official) Toronto Fashion Week. The Stephen Lewis Foundation […]

Green is the new black. At least according to Chanel, Gucci, and the nine other stellar brands that have all pledged to create eco-friendly designs for this season’s red carpets.

It’s all part of Livia Firth’s (otherwise known as Colin Firth’s wife and the luckiest woman in the world) Green Carpet Challenge (GCC), an initiative she started with journalist Lucy Siegle two years ago. Since then, the movement has garnered some serious support from fashion heavyweights like Frida Giannini, Franca Sozzani, and Tom Ford.

Starting with the Golden Globes this Sunday, the designers will create gowns, accessories, and suits conforming to the GCC’s design principles. As to who will wear what, everything is very hush-hush. Firth, however, has announced that she will be wearing a Giorgio Armani creation made entirely from eco-friendly fabrics.

During the past two award seasons, Firth has only worn environmentally friendly gowns on the red carpet—including a repurposed wedding gown and a cocktail dress made from scrap fabric. Perhaps the most famous of them all was a gown made from her husband’s old Tom Ford suits. Yes. Please.

Pictures of Firth’s dresses along with the other eco-friendly creations will be available on vogue.com starting January 15.
