TIFF is low-key and casual, much more in line with the beach party scene of Cannes than the ball gown pretension of Venice or Berlin. Here’s how the pros walk the red carpet—a foolproof guide to looking good if you happen to be walking in behind them.

- <strong>AS SEEN ON:</strong><br /> <em>Naomi Watts at Cannes 2012</em><br /> <br /> The glamour of the 1920s was huge this spring, and thanks to Baz Luhrman’s hotly anticipated Gatsby remake, its moment continues. That means all things sequined, like this Naeem Kahn dress. <em>$2,990. Holt Renfrew, 50 Bloor St. W., 416-922-2333. </em>

- <strong>AS SEEN ON:</strong><br /> <em>Ewan McGregor at Cannes 2012</em><br /> <br /> When it comes to printed accessories, bolder is better. These Etro and Duchamp ties add some swagger to a boring suit, which might just help you score with a visiting ingénue. <em>$160 each. Holt Renfrew. </em>

- <strong>AS SEEN ON:</strong><br /> <em>Kristen Stewart at Cannes 2012</em><br /> <br /> Bright patterned pants are the trend of the season. J. Crew carries the best selection, like the gorgeous paisley number shown here. <em>$330. J. Crew, 3401 Dufferin St., 416-785-3682.</em>

- <strong>AS SEEN ON:</strong><br /> <em>Marion Cotillard at Cannes 2012</em> <br /> <br /> These sparkly-soled magenta suede Miu Miu heels prove that the key to next-level style is in the details. Shoot the guy at the door a megawatt smile and convince him you’re somebody famous. <em>$690. Holt Renfrew.</em>

- <strong>AS SEEN ON:</strong><br /> <em>Viggo Mortensen at TIFF 2011</em><br /> <br /> A tie with a bit of sheen will contrast against a matte ebony shirt. That’s how Viggo pulls off monochrome without looking like a funeral director. <em>Boss Black dress shirt, $195. Ermenegildo Zegna black tie, $185. Harry Rosen.</em>

- <strong>AS SEEN ON:</strong><br /> <em>Bill Murray at Cannes 2012</em><br /> <br /> Murray doesn’t take film festivals (or much else, for that matter) too seriously. That’s a good lesson. Bright madras won’t work for fall, but this Etro jacket mixes different plaids in a subdued palette and adds just the right amount of whimsy to the often-staid red carpet. <em>$1,550. Harry Rosen. </em>

- <strong>AS SEEN ON:</strong><br /> <em>Diane Kruger at Cannes 2012</em><br /> <br /> Kruger doesn’t just make cheesy Nic Cage movies—she’s also a bona fide tastemaker. Burgundy is less sombre than black, subtler than look-at-me red, and appropriate for pretty much any TIFF event. <em>Bentley dress by Diane Von Furstenburg, $490. The Bay, 176 Yonge St., 416-861-9111.</em>

- <strong>AS SEEN ON:</strong><br /> <em>Reese Witherspoon at Cannes 2012 </em><br /> <br /> The statement earring is all the rage on red carpets this year. But these aren’t J. Lo’s trashy oversized hoops. The silhouette should be long, lean and ultra-feminine— like this silver pair by Elsa Peretti. <em>$605. Tiffany and Co., 85 Bloor St. W., 416-921-3900.</em>

- <strong>AS SEEN ON:</strong><br /> <em>Ryan Gosling at TIFF 2011 </em><br /> <br /> This medium-grey version from Hugo Boss will go from a breakfast seminar at the Ritz (add an expensive tie and polished shoes) to late-night sausage at Wvrst alongside a swarm of jubilant moviegoers (ditch the tie). <em>$1,245. Harry Rosen. </em>

- <strong>AS SEEN ON:</strong><br /> <em>Sean Penn at Cannes 2012</em><br /> <br /> September in Toronto is usually hot, but when the sun sets and temperatures dip, layers are key. A finely knit sweater over a white dress shirt is a little preppy, a little old school and way more badass than it has any right to be. Michael Kors sweater, $145. Boss Black white shirt, $195. Harry Rosen.
