I have just one and a half more days of wishes for the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival left. As regular readers know very well by now is that I am really excited for this years festival because with exclusions of Emmy Rossum, Diane Kruger, and Cate Blanchett pretty much all of my favorite red carpet starlets are going to be on red carpets promoting films over the ten days of this years festival which kicks off a week from today. Jessica Chastain has two films that she is promoting at this years festival. You saw yesterday my wish for Jessica to wear that gorgeous red Ralph Lauren gown and now for her special presentation premiere of Molly’s Game. Jessica in green is always a magic moment and for this premiere I would love to see Jessica wearing this multi-tone green Elie Saab Resort 2018 sequin gown which features a halter neckline, faux wrap style, column skirt,and a dramatic split. This would definitely be that magic moment on Jessica and of the two wishes I made for her to wear for TIFF this year this is the one I want to see her bring to life. I was surprised that Jess didn’t wear an Elie Saab gown during Cannes, and I think that this would more than make up for it. I think that with some old Hollywood waves, a pair of gold Casadei pointed toe pumps, red lip, and gold set diamond drop earrings that this would make for a totally major moment.
The premiere of The Disaster Artist is another premiere at TIFF that has a major cast that I am really excited to see what the cast will bring to the red carpet. The film will screen in the Midnight Madness selection of the festival, so I would imagine that while the stars will be glam that gowns aren’t necessarily what we are going to see on this red carpet. Alison Brie is an underrated style star who always looks great and deserves to get her hands on some really great brands for the red carpet. This nude lined black lace Blumarine Fall 2017 RTW handkerchief dress with thick black straps and a cowel neckline is glam and flirty which I think is the perfect look for Alison to wear on the red carpet at a Midnight Madness premiere. I would love to see Alison take this dress and go full glam with it adding a vintage inspired updo, smokey eye, red lip, and a pair of black Schutz ‘Primm’ satin block heel sandals.
Kristen Bell also stars in The Disaster Artist and I am hoping that she actually makes me remember why I fell in love with her a few years ago. Recently I would love to see Kristen give us full glam with this blue and black Elizabeth Kennedy Fall 2017 RTW cocktail dress which features a strapless silhouette, a contrasting ruffle at the bodice, and a full tea length skirt. The dress is pretty simple aside from the dramatic neckline ruffle and I think that it would make for a chic and elegant moment on the TIFF red carpet. I would keep the dress the center of the look with a sleek updo, winged eye, nude lip, diamond cluster earrings, and simple black Stuart Weitzman ‘Nudistsong’ sandals.
Lizzy Caplan is always a favorite to see on the red carpet and when she has the platform of major events she always delivers. I would like to see Lizzy deliver something beautiful and glamorous for the TIFF premiere of The Disaster Artist. Since this premiere is in the Midnight Madness I don’t think that Lizzy will wear a dramatic gown, but I do think that this avocado green Prabal Gurung Resort 2018 cocktail dress which features a plunging v neckline, a knee length, and button details would be the perfect look for her to rock on this red carpet. This dress is flirty and feminine and I think that Lizzy would totally win the red carpet in this dress especially when paired with a pair of nude Christian Louboutin ‘Hot Spring Butterfly’ peep toe, lace, slingback pumps and a pink lip.
I know that while I have said that for a Midnight Madness screening that a gown might be too much of a stretch to wear, but if anyone in the cast of The Disaster Artist can then it would be Zoey Deutch. A year ago I had no idea who Zoey was. It wasn’t until I was tweeting looks from an event and hundreds of people liked and retweeted her that I even took notice of who she was. Since then she has been all over red carpets and a muse for some of the biggest brands in the world. One of those brands that she is very close with is Rodarte and I would love to see her step out on the TIFF red carpet to promote The Disaster Artist wearing this light pink ensemble from the brands Spring 2018 RTW collection that features a gathered ruffled crop top with a tiered tulle full length skirt. Everything about this look screams feminine, flirtatious glamour and I can totally see Zoey making it a totally modern red carpet moment. With a sleek center parted low bun, smokey eye, glossy light pink lips, gold earcuff, and a pair of rose gold Jimmy Choo ‘Marianne’ strappy glitter sandals Zoey would definitely shut the red carpet down.
The 2017 Toronto International Film Festival opens September 7, 2017 and runs through September 16, 2017.
