If you’re wondering what to wear to a Toronto International Film Festival after party or gala, you may want to consider going red carpet glam. Whether you are there to mingle, sip a few cocktails or perhaps catch a glimpse of your favourite stars, a TIFF party is the perfect occasion to get all dressed up. We’ve curated some timelessly elegant and ladylike outfit ideas to keep you looking fabulous all evening long, whether you are stargazing or on the A-list yourself.  

1) LULUS Off the Shoulder Mermaid Gown, $94:  Ravishing red is always a great choice for any formal occasions, and this sleek, off-the-shoulder dress is certainly an appropriate choice for the spotlight. We are liking the bright red colour seen here, along with the thigh-high slit up the leg and the defined waistline.  

2) Loeffler Randall Embellished Metallic Clutch, $310: A shimmering evening bag is the perfect way to accessorize your bright red frock, and with party season here, a metallic clutch is certainly the way to go. This embellished leather purse is decorated with multicoloured stones that give it a sparkling effect.   

3) Le Château Metallic Leather-Like Strappy Sandal, $25: For a finishing touch, you may want to step out in matching silver high heels. These delicate strappy sandals feature multiple straps, open toes and pointed heels.
