With TIFF opening weekend wrapping up, we’ve whittled our list of red carpet showstoppers to a final four. Nordic stunner Alicia Vikander set the fashion bar high with a floral, floor-skimming Erdem gown, echoed two days later by a pastel-pretty Keira Knightley, whose strapless Mary Katrantzou had the dreaminess of a Monet. Meanwhile, two solid-colour dresses had us oohing and ahhing: Naomie Harris’s tea-length Marchesa in black tulle, which she paired with Louboutin Pigalle pumps, and Lupita Nyong’o’s white Prada with gold sequins. So, in the battle of florals versus solids, whose look wins out?
