Now that the most of the festival’s films have screened, it’s time to look back on the red carpet style. Overall, stars either opted for wearable black-and-whites or vivid, attention-grabbing gowns (and then there was this random appearance from Nikki Sixx). Here, a few of our favourite sartorial choices.

Rosamund Pike looked like some sort of ethereal butterfly queen in this intricately embroidered Alexander McQueen gown:

Halle Berry may have been the star, but we preferred Kings director Deniz Gamze Ergüven glittery Chanel gown to Berry’s embroidered romper:

Glenn Close defended her style icon status in Zac Posen:

We loved Kate Mara‘s cute, cocktail-appropriate frock by London designer David Koma (her husband, Jamie Bell, didn’t look too bad, either):

Allison Janney rocked a bunch of awesome looks this festival, but this orange off-the-shoulder dress from Iraqi label Zena Zaki is our favourite:

Sebastian Stan classed it up in a perfectly tailored blue tuxedo:

Idris Elba, on the other hand, pulled off a laid-back, too-cool-for-school look:

Pint-sized star McKenna Grace sported a look by children’s line Monnalisa:

 

Actor Daniela Vega, in a gown from Chilean designer, managed to pull off the full-body florals way better than Kim K:

 

And we’re glad Sarah Gadon chose not to accessorize her J. Mendel dress with Cruella de Vil—inspired furs:
