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.

What a closing day the TIFF 2013 crowd was treated to! Adoring fans waited patiently for Jennifer Aniston to grace the red carpet at the Life Of Crime screening and boy was she worth the wait.

In a classic Vivienne Westwood dress, Jennifer Aniston stepped onto the red carpet to a frenzy of screaming fans and camera flashes. The sleeveless and corseted dress in a powder-blue hue was paired with beige Westwood heels and metallic drop earrings. With makeup done by Nars, Aniston’s eyes were enhanced with a dove-grey colour palette inspired by the dress. The look was completed with a natural neutral-pink lip. Her highly coveted hair was pumped up with a bit of volumn and new blonde highlights, but otherwise left to hang on her bare shoulders. What can we say: Aniston looked fantastic in a style that deviated from the love of her signature little black dress.

Count ’em down, one cheekbone at a time » There are umpteen studs in Hollywood and so many of them were in town at various premieres during TIFF 2013. Some we saw, some we can only wish we did, but all of ‘em, yep all of ‘em brought that megawatt je ne sais quoi. Here […]

It’s impossible to talk about Joseph Gordon-Levitt without compromising myself as an even slightly serious journalist. He’s hot. I’m crushing. Das it. At Grey Goose Soho House’s last TIFF 2013 bash, I creeped JGL heavily for the second year in a row. And by that I mean stared longingly, then went home and YouTube’d his makeout scenes like a boss.

Arriving just after 9PM, Levitt settled into a corner on the first floor with co-star Scarlett Johansson and several well-suited gents. He looked pretty composed, given the mad dash he’d made earlier that evening, but why would he not. He’s JGL, and these girls feel me. Holding court with said group for most of the night snacking on pizza and toasting with the House’s signature TIFF vodka cocktails, the co-stars looked pretty chillaxed, and stayed till around midnight. Till next TIFF, BB!

Plunging necklines, high slits and waist cut outs, oh my! Kelso’s girl, Mila Kunis, her Third Person co-star Moran Atias and our favourite country star Taylor Swift hit TIFF red carpets and bashes in enviable white frocks.

For her TIFF 2013 debut, a smokey-eyed Mila Kunis was sultry in a white doily-esque textured dress with a plunging neckline at the Third Person premiere. The Burberry Prorsum Resort 2014 crotchet dress was paired with drop emerald earrings by Nam Cho for Gemfields and Christian Louboutin pewter python heels.

While the royal baby bump watch has sadly come to an end number of A-list stars have been seen flaunting their motherhood on the red carpet including two glowing mothers-to-be Kate Winslet and Melissa George at TIFF 2013 this past week.

Last Saturday, Kate Winslet arrived on the red carpet for the premiere of her film Labor Day looking absolutely radiant in a black floor-length gown by Jenny Packham. The bespoke dress featured a deep V-neckline and an empire waist with a Swarovski embellishment at the centre—a perfect showcase for a growing tummy. Winslet chose to keep her accessories at a minimum with a metallic box clutch, forest green pointed-toe heels and subtle silver and diamond jewellery. With a healthy, natural glow of an expecting mother-to-be, a no-fuss chignon with side-swept bangs and coral pink lips finished off her graceful red carpet look.

Running or walking, Joseph Gordon Levitt is hot. At the TIFF 2013 premiere of his directorial debut Don Jon, the multi-talented actor did a speedy lap to greet fans before entering the Princess of Wales Theatre for the screening. And while he may not have arrived on time, he certainly did so in style, wearing a slim pinstripe suit with and accenting plaid tie. Whatta guy.

I’ve always wanted to travel back in time, and last night at the Filthy Gorgeous after party it felt like I’d gone back some forty years. Taking in the music, decor and ambiance at Cube nightclub on Queen Street West was like falling into the decadent disco era of the 1970s. Shiny gold Bourgie lamps, leather banquets covered in animal-print cushions and lingerie models posing on a bed made for a virtual Penthouse party, perfect for celebrating Barry Avrich’s new documentary on the skin mag’s late founder Bob Guccione.

Olivia Wilde looked cheerful and flirty with her beau Jason Sudeikis at her red carpet premiere of Rush on Sunday night, a mood enhanced by her ’60s sexpot cat-eyes and tousled waves. L.A.-based makeup artist Melanie Inglessis (who also did Wilde’s makeup for FASHION’s September cover) was responsible for her look, which was a nod to the retro feel of the film, the true story of rival race-car drivers in the 1970s.

“I did a really sharp black line on the eyes and a lot of lashes, like a modern Sophia Loren,” says Inglessis, who used a full strip of lashes for each eye but cut it into five pieces, applying them along the lashline and on top of one another for maximum coquettishness. “It was a flared cat-eye, shorter at the beginning and longer at the end.”

In some cosmic switcheroo, Taylor Swift may just have been the perfect megawatt replacement for Meryl Streep last night at Grey Goose Soho House. Streep had been the most anticipated guest of TIFF 2013 in connection with her latest sure-to-be Oscar nominated leading role in August: Osage County, but bowed out at the last minute due to illness. There were tears for many, especially one pint sized fan who wore a “Meryl in training” T-shirt to the film’s screening at Roy Thompson Hall earlier that evening. Not for the film’s cast and Gucci and Holt Renfrew’s hosted after-party guests however—they all seemed thrilled by the surprise appearance by Swift, who showed up in a wowza Calvin Klein Collection number after walking the red carpet of One Chance. Flanked by Harvey Weinstein and a dapper Brenton Thwaites who I’m sure will be the talk of the blogs all day long (he’s about to be a Disney prince!), Swift held court on the second floor for most of the night, that is, while she wasn’t busy hanging with the film’s star studded cast, aka. the fixtures of the rip-roarious festivities.

Jessica Chastain wiped away tears of joy following the premiere of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, explaining to the TIFF audience how happy she was to finally make a film with her friend of 10 years, director Ned Benson.

The 3-hour+ epic is actually two films back to back, and unspools the same story twice: first from a husband’s point of view, then from his wife’s. Demanding? Yes. Emotionally draining? Perhaps.

Still, the mood at the after-dinner for the cast, hosted by the Hudson’s Bay Co. at The Chase, was buoyant. And how could it not be? Stars James McAvoy, Jess Weixler, Ciaran Hinds and the luminous Chastain, in a chiffony aqua Versace, chatted up the crowd which included designer Wayne Clark, The Bay’s Nicholas Mellamphy and Suzanne Timmins and Barbara Amiel, pretty in pink and white Erdem from The Room.

See the August: Osage County red carpet photos »

Hollywood’s biggest stars arrived last night for TIFF 2013’s most anticipated world premiere of August: Osage County. The film has been getting much Oscar buzz , which isn’t surprising considering its all-star cast. While two of the big Hollywood names, Meryl Streep and George Clooney, who produced the film, didn’t show up at last night’s red carpet event, there was more than enough attention with the sea of fans and photographers eagerly waiting outside Roy Thompson Hall.

Straying away from her usual go-to black ensemble, Julia Roberts glowed in a playful yet elegant red mini dress from Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall 2013 collection. With the red shift dress already featuring intricate lace embroidery and bell sleeves, the actress toned down the colour scheme in the accessories department with a neutral clutch and matching shoes. With her million-dollar smile making the perfect accessory, the lady in red (get it?) showed off her effortless beauty in a messy bun, oxblood nails and neutral pink lips.
