Five things every starlet will be wearing at TIFF

We caught up with celebrity stylist Sandra Graham before the film fest madness to find out how to dress like a celeb this September. And when she told us to run out and buy a motorcycle jacket, we did. After all, this is the woman who’s credited with helping Angelina, J. Lo, Reese, Beyoncé and Gwyneth (to name a few) get on best-dressed lists. Here are five looks every stylish actress will be sporting at TIFF.
1. Rocker chic. Take note, Sienna. Boho is over. This fall, celebs will be sporting studs, leather leggings and zippers galore, though Graham will be topping off her interpretation with a feminine lace headband (the new must-have accessory).
2. Marchesa. Lanvin and Dior are always red-carpet standbys, but this year, smart best-actress hopefuls will swathe themselves in Marchesa. Sure, it might be a coincidence that the label was co-founded by Harvey Weinstein’s wife.
3. Stiletto pumps. Manolos may be Sex and the City (are we finally over that?), but five-inch Christian Louboutins are pure sex on a TIFF red carpet. They also double as convenient and fierce weapons to be used against overzealous paparazzi.
4. Grecian one-shoulder numbers. After all, the Greeks really did start the whole thespian thing.
5. Teardrop earrings and statement necklaces. They make even the most petite stars appear statuesque, while the rest of us sit around trying to figure out how much the bling cost. (A good celebrity must always make us jealous.)—Jen McNeely
Neighbourhood Guide
The film fest party scene was once confined Yorkville, but now sprawls like the city itself. With more stars every year and new it spots opening every month, TIFF has never been so fun. Here, we¹ve mapped out the best places to eat, drink and play. View the map

Don't forget you don't have to have a celebrity budget to get the celebrity look! You can create TIFF-worthy outfits on a dime by buying all these pieces on eBay for a fraction of the retail cost. See you on the red carpet!
