With TIFF 2014 happening in approximately six weeks (!), we’ve been itching to find out which A-list stars will be making their way into Toronto beginning September 4th. Last year’s film festival hit all the high notes with Hollywood’s very best walking the streets of T.O, but judging by the looks of this list, we bet TIFF 2014 is going to be bigger and better than ever.
Feeling excited may be an understatement with Kristen Stewart, Kate Bosworth, Julianne Moore rumoured to appear. And if they loved coming to Toronto as much as we loved having them, we’re crossing our fingers that some of our fave stars from last year’s TIFF would swing by for a repeat visit (ahem, Keira Knightley and Jessica Chastain). TIFF is never complete with a hefty list of dapper men, and we will not be disappointed if studs like Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Farrell and Jake Gyllenhaal end up paying Toronto a little visit. And just for kicks, here’s to hoping for an awkward run-in between Robert Pattinson and KStew, since they dodged it oh-so-smoothly during the Cannes Film Festival.
To get you as excited as we are for the city’s most buzzed about event, we rounded up 14 of TIFF 2014’s most hopeful attendees in one star-studded gallery. Oh yeah, we also included what we want/hope to see them wearing on the red carpet, because that’s how invested we are.

tiff 2014 celelebrities amanda seyfried givenchy
Amanda Seyfried, in town for While We’re Young with Naomi Watts, Ben Stiller, Maria Dizzia, Adam Driver and Charles Grodin
Seyfriend is the muse of Givenchy, you know. So it only seems fit to see her in the designer label. And since she’s been donning lots of black as well as Victorian-inspired dresses, we’d love to see her in something more colourful while keeping the sheer factor going.

Kristen Stewart in town for Still Alice with Kate Bosworth, Julianne Moore, Hunter Parrish and Alec Baldwin
KStew is no stranger to making a statement on the red carpet, so we know our fave brooding actress will have no problem rocking this two-piece ensemble (sneakers an all!) from the Chanel Fall 2014 runway.
3/14

January Jones in town for Good Kill with Ethan Hawke
This structured pink dress from Giambattista Valli’s Fall 2014 collection has Elizabeth “Betty” Francis’ (née Hofstadt, formerly Draper) stamp of approval.

tiff 2014 celelebrities chloe grace moretz mary katrantzou
Chloe Grace Moretz in town for The Equalizer with Denzel Washington and Marton Csokas
Lately, Moretz has been one of those up-and-coming stars to watch on the red carpet, so we know this multi-coloured Mary Katrantzou Fall 2014 dress will save her a spot on our TIFF 2014 best-dressed list.
5/14
tiff 2014 celelebrities jessica chastain erdem
Jessica Chastain in town for Miss Julie with Colin Farrell and Samantha Morton
Chastain always keeps on our toes when it comes to dressing up for the red carpet. So we’d love to see her in this regal dress by Erdem that will naturally complement her fiery red hair.
6/14
tiff 2014 celelebrities kiera knightley valentino
Keira Knightley in town for The Imitation Game with Benedict Cumberbatch and Matthew Goode
Knightley has been on a roll topping best-dressed lists lately. Although the British actress has already worn two Valentino dresses lately, we wouldn’t mind seeing her another one from the Fall 2014 collection. Honestly, this has her name written all over it.
7/14
tiff 2014 celelebrities hailee steinfeld gucci
Hailee Steinfeld in town for The Keeping Room with Sam Worthington, Brit Marling, Amy Nuttall
The young actress is known to don princess-like dresses when it comes to the red carpet, but we know this pink Gucci Fall 2014 mini dress will add a bedazzling glam factor to make sure she stands out from the crowd.
8/14
tiff 2014 celelebrities jennifer anniston altuzarra
Jennifer Aniston in town for Cake with Anna Kendrick, Britt Robertson, Sam Worthington, Chris Messina, William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman
Aniston has a never-ending love for black dresses, so to make sure she doesn’t stray too far from what she’s comfortable in while adding a twist, we believe this Altuzarra strapless dress from the Fall 2014 collection is the outfit for her.
9/14
tiff 2014 celelebrities jennifer garner oscar de la renta
Jennifer Garner in town for Men, Women & Children with Ansel Elgort, Judy Greer and Adam Sandler
Although she make pretty traditional choices for red carpet events, Garner has been experimenting with more statement dresses like a red lace dress for TIFF 2013 and silver fringe dress for the 2014 Oscars. This black lace dress by Oscar de la Renta from the Fall 2014 collection will be the perfect sartorial choice for her.
10/14
tiff 2014 celelebrities charlotte gainsbourg louis vuitton
Charlotte Gainsbourg in town for Samba with Omar Sy
Being the Fall 2014 campaign ad star for Louis Vuitton, we bet Charlotte Gainsbourg will arrive on the red carpet in nothing but the French designer label.
11/14
tiff 2014 celelebrities kate bosworth stella mccartney
Kate Bosworth, in town for Still Alice with Kristen Stewart, Julianne Moore, Hunter Parrish and Alec Baldwin
Bosworth is like the ultimate cool girl of Hollywood and since she seemed so buddy-buddy with Stella McCartney at the Met Gala, this Fall 2014 dress has her name written all over it.
12/14
tiff 2014 celelebrities julianne moore tom ford
Julianne Moore in town for Still Alice with Kristen Stewart, Kate Bosworth, Hunter Parrish and Alec Baldwin
Moore has been working an edgier look lately (cue her Louis Vuitton Fall 2014 gown at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival) and with her close ties with Tom Ford, we know this red-hot ensemble will suit the actress perfectly.
Reese Witherspoon in town for Wild with Gaby Hoffman and Michiel Huisman
We know Witherspoon isn’t shy to flaunt her cleavage from time to time, but lately the actress has also been opting for some mini dresses. We think this rose print Giambattista Valli Fall 2014 dresses checks all the points on her list.
14/14
tiff 2014 celelebrities mia wasikowska calvin klein
Mia Wasikowska in town for Map to the Stars with Robert Pattinson, Julianne Moore, and John Cusack
Judging from her red carpet choices lately, Wasikowska seems to grativate towards monochromatic outfits, so we think this ivory white Fall 2014 dress from the Calvin Klein collection will suit her nicely.
