Is it just us, or were significant others one of the most commonly spotted red carpet accessories? Nicole, Jon, Megan (to name a few) all showed off their better halves at their premieres. With the festival wrapped up for another year, a look back at this year’s most memorable couples in our slide show below.
As our spies reported, Brolin attended an after party at the Thompson Hotel where he had no qualms about lighting up inside, even though he was steps from a smoker-friendly patio and must know the practice is illegal (the guy’s from L.A., where they practically hang you for smoking). Plus, he ashed on a frickin’ plate! We’re not sure whether to be appalled by his arrogance or admire his commitment. (Image: Stefania Yarhi)

As if we needed further evidence that the Goz is the one for us. And yes, we get that he and his pint-sized <em>Blue Valentine</em> are not technically a couple, but who doesn’t want to look at snaps of the sexiest thing to come out of Canada since one-piece long johns?

In the two years since their out-of-nowhere smash <em>Slumdog Millionaire</em> had its world premiere at TIFF, Pinto has become a Woody Allen muse and an international fashion plate. Patel’s career has been slightly slower out of the gate, but he gets to date Freida Pinto, so we doubt he’s even noticed. (Image: Karon Liu)

Hilary is a former Miss Ireland and an undeniable beauty, but—how shall we say this?—at times Mama Weston tends toward outfits that are a little, well, young. After a certain age, strapless should refer to purses only. Hilary looked fab and totally age appropriate on the Amfar red carpet. And, as always, a billionaire is the ultimate accessory.

The newlyweds oozed post-coital confidence at the after party for Fox’s movie <em>Passion Play</em>. So how does BAG avoid the obvious Mr. Megan Fox jokes? Um, we’re not sure, but his upcoming role on <em>Desperate Housewives</em> probably isn’t going to help. (Image: Karon Liu)

As always, the communications power couple cut a memorable figure at the annual Amfar bash. This dress reminds us of something Donna Martin would have worn to a high school dance. At least she had youthful ignorance as an excuse. (Image: Karon Liu)

We were lucky enough to spot the Boss and his lovely bride having post-premiere refreshments at the Four Seasons bar. Yes, their fashion choices leave something to be desired, but when you’re as cool as they are, it really doesn’t matter. (Image: George Pimentel/WireImage/Getty Images)

We weren’t impressed by Kidman’s lacklustre fashion efforts last week. We know she and her hair straightener–obsessed hubby are all about pushing the “we’re normal, we live in Nashville, we shop at Walmart” message, but would a little Cruise-era Kidman glamour have been too much to ask for?

He may be the biggest dreamboat on the planet right now, and still, the real-life Don Draper ably pulls off the whole “who, me?” thing. His long-time love looks equally effortless. We’re not sure if we want to be them or kill them. (Image: Karon Liu)

Firth turned 50 at TIFF this year, confirming that 50 is the new 40 and that Brits are about more than posh accents and bad teeth. It’s hard not to think of his wife as the luckiest woman on the planet, but then, the satisfied smirk on Firth’s face makes us think that maybe he’s the lucky one.

I’m sorry but I really don’t see anything wrong with the way Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are dressed. They look great. Very classy. And very happy together. You want the Kidman from the Tom Cruise-era? I don’t. She looks far happier, more serene and confident these days and it’s lovely to see. Oh and her performance in “Rabbit Hole” has been universally praised and she’s probably going to receive an Oscar nomination for it. For an actress, that’s far more important than the way she’s dressed, no?
Call me practical but I gave points to the men & women that wore attire that seemed appropriate based on the time of day, venue, etc. to watch a 2 hour movie in.
Cocktail Attire great Evening Gowns a bit much….
That being said based on the selected pics clearly the best accessory is someone that really digs posing with you!
