Ladies of TIFF 2009

tiff ladies

With TIFF all wrapped up, and celebs no longer occupying Yorkville, I look back on the two very exciting weeks or parties, movies, and fashions. TIFF is always a “fun before the storm” type of thing…right before the cold weather starts. And this year, the celeb turn out was better than ever! With 4 out 5 guys on my Celeb Five list in town, there was a pretty good chance of me running into them…and 2 out of 4 was not all that bad! And while, I mostly cared about running into Ewan McGregor or Colin Firth, there was a slew of hot ladies in town as well!

I already posted about Penelope Cruz and Jennifer Connelly’s fashion choices for their premieres, now we have the rest of the TIFF ladies that caught my eye this year. Drew Barrymore is shown twice, not because I favor her over the others, but simply because I looove her nails in one pic, and her fab Alexander McQueen dress in the other (although the length is not the most flattering on her, I think she still pulls it off). And even though most did not like her bold hair color choice, to me it’s perfect!

Others include (in case you have problems recognizing them) Natalie Portman (my girl-crush), Jennifer Garner (looking hot for the first time since her second pregnancy), Jennifer Connelly (again, but in a much more flattering outfit), and Robin Wright Penn (soon to be just Wright?), showing that looking good truly is the best revenge!

And while Penelope Cruz is my pick for best-dressed TIFF actress of 2009, I am curious to know what you think? Who was your favorite?

Pene VS Jennifer

TIFF is here! Finally!!! Feels like Christmas with all of the major actors and actresses descending upon our city! Yesterday two huge (not size-wise) leading ladies hit the red carpet for premieres of their respective movies at the Toronto International Film Festival – Jennifer Connelly for “Creation” and Penelope Cruz for “Broken Embraces”. Both are absolutely gorgeous, but to me Pene is the clear winner. Glowing skin, beautiful dress (aimed to conceal a bun in the oven?), long legs, and no-fuss hair and makeup. Stunning! Jennifer’s dress just doesn’t do it for me. The length is off and the fit is a little weird. On the positive side though, the face and the hair – gorgessity! Love both of them! But definitely not enough to stalk them around town. Ewan, Clive, Ed and Colin (Firth not Farrell)…for those I’ll stalk, beg, sneak…whatever it takes. Anyway, back to the girls…who’s your fave? Jen or Pene?

Jennifer Connelly for Balenciaga…again

I’ve always admired Jennifer Connelly’s beauty and acting chops, so was pretty excited to see her starring in Balenciaga ads again. The clothes are beautiful, while Connelly herself seems to almost disappear (apart from her awkward posing). Which I guess is the point – helps showcase the clothes, not the person wearing them. Love the rich, opulent colors and fabrics. Moody gorgeousness.
