Andrew Garfield, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry, Julianne Moore: TIFF 2024 Red Carpet Fashion Highlights
September 8, 2024
Where star power and cinema meet, the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has once again become a nexus of film and fashion. As the stars descended upon the Princess of Wales Theatre, they graced the red carpet with designer looks and signature style.
Andrew Garfield Wears Gucci
The ever-charming Andrew Garfield looked dapper in a Gucci Fall Winter 2024 ensemble. Garfield's co-star Florence Pugh also stunned on the red carpet in a strapless pink gown, perfectly complementing the film's epic love story. "We Live in Time," directed by John Crowley and written by Nick Payne, tells the tale of an up-and-coming chef whose life is changed by a chance encounter with a recent divorcée, leading to a deeply emotional decade-spanning romance. At the photo call Garfield donned a blue Gucci suit paired with a sultry brown silk shirt in a masterclass of understated elegance. To finish the look, he wore Horsebit 1953 loafers ($990) that recalled vintage Hollywood glamour.
Daisy Edgar-Jones: Shades of Blue
Claiming the spotlight at the "On Swift Horses" premiere, Daisy Edgar-Jones floated onto the red carpet in an ethereal Gucci Cruise 2025 gown. The light chiffon blue gown, with its daring deep V-neck and mesmerizing sunray plissé, was a sartorial poem in motion. An asymmetrical cape and back drape added drama to the ensemble, while white patent leather Gucci high heels ($1,190) completed the look with a modern twist.
Edgar-Jones' fashion choice complemented her role in the movie, which critic Pete Hammond described as a "complicated romantic drama, mixed with gambling, noir-ish tones, horse racing and a complex love triangle." The film, also starring Jacob Elordi and Will Poulter, explores themes of love and desire in 1950s California.
Diego Calva
Standing tall beside Edgar-Jones, co-star Diego Calva cut a dashing figure in a Gucci FW24 navy and brown suit. The actor's choice of a complementary brown shirt added depth to the look, while black leather creepers ($1,300) with the iconic Horsebit detail grounded the ensemble in timeless sophistication. Calva, who gained recognition for his role in "Babylon," delivers what critics are calling a standout performance in "On Swift Horses."
Jacob Elordi Wears Bottega Veneta
At the 'On Swift Horses' premiere, Jacob Elordi proved why he's fashion's new darling. Wearing a custom Bottega Veneta creation, Elordi's silk viscose blazer and trousers in a rich, deep hue spoke volumes of quiet luxury. The addition of Achille biker boots ($1,650) added an edge to the polished look, perfectly encapsulating the actor's brooding on-screen persona. Elordi's performance in the film has been praised, with Hammond noting that he is "becoming one of the most interesting actors around."
Julianne Moore
Never one to disappoint, Julianne Moore graced “The Room Next Door” premiere in a Bottega Veneta masterpiece. The embroidered mini gingham silk dress from Pre-Spring 2025 was a reflection of Moore's impeccable taste, combining playful patterns with sophisticated silhouettes. The film, directed by Pedro Almodóvar, marks his first English-language feature and tackles hefty themes of euthanasia and the climate crisis.
Durga Chew-Bose in CELINE Sophistication
At the "Bonjour Tristesse" premiere, Durga Chew-Bose stunned in CELINE by Hedi Slimane. She wore a two-button notch collar Tommy jacket and Tixie pants in striped cashmere flannel, both in anthracite and noir.

Black shiny calfskin Chelsea boots completed his sophisticated look.
Lily McInerny: A Tribute to Cinema in CELINE

Adam Driver made a striking appearance at the 'Megalopolis' premiere during the Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, 2024. The acclaimed actor chose CELINE HOMME by Hedi Slimane for his red carpet look, embodying timeless elegance with a modern edge.
Driver wore a classic jacket and pants ensemble in black wool gabardine, demonstrating the power of well-tailored simplicity. The outfit was complemented by a white cotton poplin shirt with a drugstore collar, adding a touch of refinement to the overall look. A black satin tie provided the perfect finishing touch, striking a balance between formal sophistication and contemporary style.
Naomi Watts: Dior's Pre-Fall Glamour
Naomi Watts graced the red carpet in a stunning Dior Pre-Fall 2024 black embroidered dress. The actress, starring in Phillip Noyce's thriller "Lakewood," showcased elegance and poise in her choice of attire, perfectly complementing the film's intense and emotional narrative.

Cory Michael Smith: Dior Men's Summer Sophistication
Cory Michael Smith made a statement at the premiere of "Saturday Night" in a Dior Men's Summer 2025 collection black wool striped peak lapel suit. He paired the suit with a grey cashmere tank top, adding a touch of casual elegance to the formal look. A golden brass brooch provided a subtle yet eye-catching accent, while black leather Carlo Derbies completed the ensemble with classic refinement.
George MacKay delivers a compelling performance in Joshua Oppenheimer's fiction debut, "The End," at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. In this somber musical set in a post-apocalyptic world, MacKay portrays a young man who has spent his entire life in an underground bunker. His Gucci ensemble, featuring a black twill suit from the Men's n's Pre-Fall 2024 collection, paired with a tonal brown shirt and tie. The actor's polished appearance, complete with black leather accessories, provided a striking visual element to this thought-provoking exploration of denial and environmental collapse.
As TIFF 2024 continues to unfold, these red carpet moments not only complement the cinematic debuts but tell stories of their own—of craftsmanship, artistic vision, and the enduring romance between Hollywood and fashion. With the festival marking the start of the awards season, these carefully curated looks may well be the first step in a long journey towards potential Oscar glory.
