For fashionistas who are planning to attend Toronto International Film Festival after parties this year, glitz and glamour should set the mood for your evening sartorial statements. As day turns into night and the TIFF soirées promise to draw stylish crowds, try channelling the vivid colour of the red carpet. A sumptuous, sexy frock in a brilliant crimson will leave you feeling like your favourite Hollywood starlet, while coordinating accessories bring a dramatic finishing touch. With TIFF party season approaching, look no further than these style ideas for the ultimate in elegance.

Ali & Jay Sweetheart Neck Dress, $98: We are liking the deep red tone of this classic bodycon dress, which features a sweetheart neckline. The figure-flattering silhouette will help to create an hourglass shape, while the thick spaghetti straps offer a structured touch.

Tory Burch Ankle Strap Sandal, $400: Try contrasting your screen siren dress with a pair of simple yet perfectly stylish strappy sandals. These black suede ankle strap heels make a splash with their pointy three inch heels and slight shimmery finish.

Faye London Crepe Satin Clutch, $144: With its oval shape and satin fabric, this ladylike evening bag can easily flatter your dress and heels. The striking silver embellishment, crinkled crepe effect and delicate chain strap are sure to elevate your ensemble to glamorous new heights.

Nadri Fiona Pearl Linear Drop Post Back Earrings, $37: As you sip champagne and mingle, there’s nothing quite like the perfect ear candy to create a true statement. This dangling faux pearl and silvertone pair steals the spotlight, and can wrap up your accessory look in true fashionista form.
