- Halle Berry certainly went for it at the <em>Cloud Atlas </em> red carpet in a Roberto Cavalli suit with a Monique Lhuillier blouse. We’re suffering sensory overload, what with the print, the flare on those pants, the patterning on the blouse—and Berry’s bra, of course

- Jennifer Lawrence was excited to learn her Dior gown had pockets (a discovery <br /> <a href="http://www.torontolife.com/daily/hype/tiff-talk/2012/09/12/quoted-jennifer-lawrence-pockets/">she didn’t make until she was actually at the <em>Silver Linings Playbook</em> premiere,</a>) but the awkward length of this leaves us feeling as flat as her hair. That said, the moody print is show-stopping

- Ashley Benson in a Dolce and Gabbana dress. The <em>Spring Breakers</em> star deserves praise for picking a show-stopping look, but the heavy makeup, sweetheart neckline and pounds of gold sequins somehow seem a little cheap (a feat, considering Dolce and Gabbana gowns are anything but)

- Engaged couple Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger arrive at the <em>Inescapable</em> TIFF premiere. Jackson’s pocket square saves his ensemble from being 100 per cent forgettable (actually, those stacked-like-jeans dress pants are hard to forget, in a bad way), and we still can’t decide if Kruger’s Valentino Couture, with gold sequins, leopard print and fur detailing, is memorable for the right reasons
