Check out our favourite red carpet couples »

Hollywood seems to have been struck by Cupid’s bow lately, with many of our favourite leading ladies and men hooking up, shacking up and hopefully not breaking up. Earlier this month, Gossip Girl/O.C. mega-duo Leighton Meester and Adam Brody made their first appearance as a married couple, making our ultimate Josh Schwartz fantasy come true. Meanwhile, fellow Gossip Girl star Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds could teach a course on how to look hot on the red carpet with your significant other. Their on-point style, loving glances and intimate body language always make for some adorable photos.

8 wild TV to real life actor transformations »

As many nationwide binge watchers can attest to, the new season of Orange is the New Black hit the web this weekend with more crazy than ever. Our favourite inmates are back and looking real busted. So busted in fact, that it was hard to believe any of them could be anything else in real life, a fact that was countered pretty shockingly at last week’s red carpet premiere in New York. Actress Uzo Aduba a.k.a. “Crazy Eyes” is shockingly glam for one, as is Taryn Manning, whose Podunk portrayals have been her signature since the early oughts.

With these transformations in mind, we had a look back at the IRL looks of some of our favourite television characters. From the big budget world of Game of Thrones (its recent “Blackwater” episode reportedly cost $8 million) to the ever-changing early 20^th century styles on Downtown Abbey, here are 8 of the most drastic TV to real life actor transformations.

After months of teasers and anticipation, Scarlett Johansson and Matthew McConaughey are finally making movie magic together. However, their debut is of the small screen variety: they come together for “Street of Dreams,” a short film for Dolce & Gabbana’s The One ($66, sephora.ca) and The One for Men ($48, sephora.ca) fragrances.

Both actors have been the face of D&G fragrance for years now, but this is their first time appearing together on screen. What makes this 60-second stunner of a commercial even more exceptional is that the luxe brand enrolled the legendary Martin Scorsese to direct and film.

See the pictures from the Dallas Buyers Club dinner and after party »

While King Street West is getting a ton of TIFF action this year, Dundas West is becoming a notable neighbourhood thanks to Hudson Kitchen. The newly-opened space made headlines on Friday when it was revealed that Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender and the rest of the 12 Years A Slave cast sat down for a post-screening dinner there. Last night the restaurant’s private dining room saw even more A-list action when Jennifer Garner, Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto attended a pre-screening dinner for Dallas Buyers Club. (Needless to say, a reservation at Hudson Kitchen will be in high demand once TIFF ends.)

McConaughey’s impressive-scary weight loss for his leading role in Dallas Buyers Club was still visible last night, but it was certainly more of a healthy-skinny than “omg this is alarming.” After dinner at Hudson Kitchen and walking the red carpet for the film’s TIFF premiere, McConaughey, Garner and Leto arrived at Cibo Wine Bar for the official after party, presented by Audi. Unlike some of the cozier TIFF parties I’ve been to, the Dallas Buyers Club party was a massive affair—in a massive venue—and the talent was hidden away from the eager eyes of attendees. However, despite not catching a glimpse of Jennifer Garner’s pretty lace Dolce & Gabbana dress IRL, partygoers enjoyed Italian snacks and glasses of wine late into the night.

The A-listers were abounding at the Dallas Buyer’s Club premiere at TIFF 2013—you know, the one that famously required co-stars Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto to lose a combined 68 pounds. It seems these guys haven’t fully bounced back from their weight loss as they were looking verrrry tiny on the red carpet.

Leto was channeling Tom-Cruise-circa-Interview with the Vampire in an all black suit, combat boots, and blood red pocket square that set off his flawless pale skin, piercing baby blues, and ombred locks. We should probably mention that he’s 41.  He looks 25. Get us whatever facial cream he’s using. Stat.

Thankfully, McConaughey ditched the blood-hungry look in favour of a classic black suit, skinny tie, and crisp white shirt. We can’t help wondering if this was the influence of his model wife Camila Alves McConaughey who chose an elbow-length black shirt with tapered black pants.

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!

See the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic red carpet »

This past weekend, a number of A-listers attended one of summer’s most stylish social events in Liberty State Park, New Jersey: the Sixth Annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic. Celebrating the sunshine on the first of June, many well-dressed celebrities were spotted including a dapper-looking co-host, Matthew McConaughey in a three-piece linen suit and wife Camila Alves in a yellow Herve Leger dress by his side. Models, Olympic athletes and style icons like Leigh Lezark, Ashley Olsen and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld also made their way down the red carpet looking fabulous in florals, stripes and spring colours.

The Olsen sisters are famous for their bohemian and minimalist red carpet looks. So at her first public event since the Met Gala last month, it was no surprise to see that Ashley Olsen wore another eastern-inspired dress. Dressed in a vintage red kaftan dress with gold embroidery down the front, neck and sleeves, she paired her vintage look with black Hermès studded sandals, aviator sunglasses and a small off-white shoulder bag by her label, The Row.

As Hollywood heads to Park City, Utah for the annual Sundance Film Festival, we’re reminiscing over our own brush with fame during the Toronto International Film Festival last September. And just as we recall with TIFF, Grey Goose Vodka usually has a cap on the hottest parties of the festival.
The brand’s Blue Door Lounge is playing host to a number of film after-parties during the festival (which runs through Wednesday), and celebrities already through that door have included Daniel Radcliffe, Nicole Kidman, Matthew McConaughey, Ellen Page, Alexander Skarsgård, Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch.

Traditional of Sundance, celebrities typically dress winter-apropos for the chilly temps and low-key vibe making it an almost 100% parka affair. We particularly love Shailene Woodley’s knee length coat with black leather accents on the sleeves and collar. Meanwhile, for un-packed celebs, we’re digging Brit Marling’s graphic black and white blouse and pant combo (especially with Skars’ hand right there…)
