While the Toronto International Film Festival is renowned for its grand premieres and sweeping gowns, it’s the press junket looks that often reveal a celebrity’s true sense of style. Cailee Spaeny’s appearance at the Deadline and Variety studios was a perfect example, trading overt glamour for an artistic, elevated-casual ensemble that felt both personal and perfectly on-trend.
Spaeny chose an instantly recognizable look from JW Anderson , a designer known for pushing the boundaries of ready-to-wear. The centerpiece was a sheer, long-sleeved t-shirt with a striking black-and-white graphic print that looked more like an abstract painting than a typical tee. This was paired with JW Anderson High-Rise Wool Wide-Leg Pants , which grounded the look with their tailored, yet relaxed, silhouette. The pants featured a distinctively asymmetrical, folded waistband that added a structural, deconstructed element, elevating them far beyond standard trousers. The entire outfit showcased a thoughtful approach to fashion, proving that comfort doesn’t have to come at the cost of creativity.
The look was completed with a pair of highly distinctive JW Anderson Black Paw Leather Mules . The shoes, with their unique, sculpted toe, brought a playful and almost surreal twist to the ensemble. They were the perfect finishing touch, a quirky detail that spoke to the brand’s whimsical spirit and Spaeny’s willingness to embrace fashion that is both serious and fun. Her hair was styled in a natural, softly-waved bob, and her makeup was kept fresh and dewy, with a light application that let her youthful glow shine through. The overall vibe was relaxed and self-assured, a masterclass in modern celebrity style .
While the red carpet is where a fashion moment is made, the press studio is where a true style icon reveals their effortless grace. Natalie Portman, attending the Variety Studio during the Toronto International Film Festival for her animated film Arco, delivered a look that perfectly captured this spirit. It was a study in understated elegance, proving that impact often comes not from flash, but from thoughtful restraint.
Portman’s dress—the Jacquemus Castagna Knit Cardigan Dress —was the focal point of the ensemble. The textured knit fabric in a deep, rich brown created an immediate sense of cozy sophistication. The midi-length silhouette, with its classic cardigan-style button-down front, felt both timeless and current. Its simple, elegant cut and soft, comfortable texture were a masterclass in modern dressing, perfectly balancing comfort with high-fashion sensibility. It was a quiet rebellion against the structured extravagance of more formal events, a perfect example of how popular celebrities are dressing for press junkets.
The styling for this look was all about synergy and minimalism. Portman wore no visible jewelry, allowing the subtle texture and rich color of the dress to take center stage. Her shoes were a simple pair of dark heels, blending seamlessly with the overall palette. Her hair was styled in a loose, center-parted bob with a soft wave, and her makeup was kept fresh and luminous. There was a clear, intentional cohesion here: every element served to highlight the dress’s effortless charm, creating a polished yet entirely relaxed mood. She posed with a gentle smile and a serene confidence, the very picture of quiet style authority.
Kirsten Dunst debuted a serene, off-the-shoulder look at the Roofman premiere, fusing classic elegance with Valentino’s modern-day sartorial rebellion.
The 2025 Toronto International Film Festival often serves as a stage for high-octane drama, but at the premiere of Roofman , Kirsten Dunst reminded us that true power lies in a quiet, confident grace. The actress, known for her impeccable taste, delivered a masterclass in understated elegance, choosing a gown that spoke volumes without a single shout.

Dunst’s gown—a striking piece from the Valentino Resort 2026 collection—was a testament to effortless glamour. The serene seafoam hue was a breathtaking choice against the red carpet, while the silhouette offered a clever balance of softness and structure. The off-the-shoulder design flowed into a ruched bodice with two subtle cut-outs at the center, a daring detail that felt perfectly tailored and refined. The fabric draped beautifully to the floor, creating a timeless, statuesque line that was both modern and classic.
Her accessories were chosen with a clear sense of purpose. Instead of competing with the dress, each piece added a delicate counterpoint. She wore Sophie Bille Brahe 18Kt Gold Bow Diamond Stud Earrings , a whisper of sparkle that framed her face. Her feet were clad in sleek Gianvito Rossi Marlena Sandals , while in her hand she carried a small, exquisite Valentino Carry Secrets Satin Minaudiere with Floral Embroidery . The floral detail on the clutch was the sole burst of overt decoration, a beautiful secret that pulled the entire look together. Her hair, swept into a refined updo, and her makeup, a simple, elegant smoky eye with a classic red lip, provided the final touches. This entire ensemble serves as a perfect example of curated, intelligent celebrity fashion .
