Samara Weaving channels vintage flirtation with a modern twist—her polka-dot dress and expressive pose turning TIFF’s Deadline Portrait Studio into a cinematic still.
Samara Weaving doesn’t just wear a look—she performs it. At the Deadline Portrait Studio during the Toronto International Film Festival 2025, Weaving delivers a visual monologue that’s equal parts ingénue and provocateur. One glance at the image and you’re caught: the open-mouthed expression, the over-the-shoulder tease, the stark white backdrop that makes everything else pop like a Warhol screenprint.
The dress is a study in playful precision. Black with crisp white polka dots, it’s cut with thin straps and a fitted silhouette that hugs without clinging. The fabric appears lightweight, matte—not glossy—which keeps the look grounded in retro realism rather than costume. It’s the kind of piece that could’ve walked out of a 1960s French New Wave film, but here it’s refracted through a 2025 lens: sharper, cleaner, more self-aware.
In a portrait pairing that feels half Nouvelle Vague, half Scandi noir, Elle Fanning and Renate Reinsve bring textural tension and quiet charisma to TIFF’s Deadline Studio.
There’s a cinematic stillness to the Deadline Portrait Studio at TIFF 2025—and Elle Fanning and Renate Reinsve know exactly how to inhabit it. Captured by Josh Telles, the duo doesn’t just pose; they project. It’s a study in contrasts: Fanning’s pastel polish meets Reinsve’s earthy restraint, creating a visual dialogue that’s more screenplay than snapshot.
Elle Fanning wears a cropped, textured light blue jacket with a wide collar and three decorative buttons—a piece that reads like Chanel softened by Gen Z sensibility. The fabric has a tactile richness, almost boucle-like, and the silhouette is crisp yet playful. It’s the kind of jacket that could anchor a spring editorial or a Parisian café scene, depending on the styling.
Renate Reinsve, meanwhile, opts for a dark brown ribbed sweater with elongated sleeves that graze the hands. The knit is dense, almost sculptural, and the color choice—deep, moody, unflashy—feels deliberate. It’s a quiet power move, the kind of garment that doesn’t need embellishment to make its point.
Emilia Jones channels off-duty edge with a quiet defiance—her layered textures and grounded palette whispering rebellion at the Toronto International Film Festival’s press circuit.
There’s something deliciously unbothered about Emilia Jones at the Los Angeles Times portrait studio during TIFF 2025. While others chase red carpet grandeur, Jones leans into a subtler kind of statement—one that trades spectacle for intimacy, polish for personality.
