I guess I took the question as a general Toronto/TIFF question rather than gala-specific.

UWP should work.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september/page/2#post-1535327 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 13:11:49 +0000 celia 1535327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, coffee with Una, that is in my agenda for September. :)<br /> That is all the celebrity I need. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september/page/2#post-1535304 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 12:39:35 +0000 Jules 1535304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK I haven't hung around TIFF all the much, but aren't there volunteers and tons of fans mixed in with the crowds? While the celebrities in gowns are probably behind ropes anyway?<br />The one screening I went to had regular people dressed casually. The French star who spoke before the film was impeccable in a perfectly cut simple pantsuit, but not Hollywood glam by any means. That was for a small movie that turned out to be terrible (there was a standing ovation when it ended - because it was over) and was never released commercially AFAIK. But there's a lot of screenings like that mixed in with the bigger draws. Movie geek fans line up to get into shows and have long days of multiple screenings, and they are dressed comfortably.<br />Certainly agree that there will be a lot of fabness, and that Toronto fashionistas start wearing their fall clothes even if it's still 80-90 degrees out. But I think fab Una will fit in just fine for everyday street wear... and plan some great outfits for parties </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september#post-1535266 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 10:59:41 +0000 Style Fan 1535266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Queen Mother Café brings back memories.&nbsp; Good idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september#post-1535183 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 04:37:14 +0000 Carla 1535183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please let me know when you've fixed your plans!

Did they get a memo? Use the same stylist? Do they have their own secret blog somewhere similar to YLF where they all plan to wear their Vince dresses on the same day, etc. ? in any case, I think the Vince dress is perfect if it fits you and looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september#post-1533594 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 03:11:42 +0000 Carla 1533594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about white or pale grey? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september#post-1533593 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 03:08:57 +0000 Anonymous 1533593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No one cares what the civilians are wearing when there the possibility of an Angelina sighting . Just go and have fun. TIFF is considered the premier film festival now -on par with Cannes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september#post-1533587 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 03:04:32 +0000 catgirl 1533587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i would LOVE to rock a jumpsuit but I don't think I have the body for it - I would look either juvenile or stodgy/thrift store dated, I fear.&nbsp; </p> <p>That IS dressy.&nbsp; Yipes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september#post-1533581 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 02:57:28 +0000 Carla 1533581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks below are from TIFF's past. Pretty much what you will see day or night, though long dresses come out for night as well. A jumpsuit like Angie's wouldn't go amiss, if that is you or your sister's style. </p> <p>The office tower where I work is in the TIFF neighbourhood so I spent my lunches hanging out eating ice cream (compliments of E Canada) and taking in some of the free activities. Streets in the area get shut down to traffic, and there are all kinds of entertainments For the plebes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september#post-1533573 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 02:50:25 +0000 krishnidoux 1533573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Layer, layer, layer!

Not black tie or red carpet formal (for regular folk) but dressy for sure! At least the parties will be. You can probably find some archived press photos from past seasons to get an idea. </p> <p>The Vince dress will be perfect. A sleeveless dress would be great, too. You should have some options and some killer shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september#post-1533547 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 02:27:22 +0000 catgirl 1533547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, I plan to do that once I'm sure it's a yes - have to post here for approval, of course!&nbsp; And then you could join me, and we could match, and people would take our pictures and write about us... oh wait, FANTASY LIFE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september#post-1533538 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 02:17:13 +0000 Anonymous 1533538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So Una, yes, you will wear your new Vince dress . I've decided for you . &nbsp;You need some really cool shoe/boot whatevers, and some really interesting jewellery, a clutch, some sexy perfume, and you'll be set. &nbsp;Can you tell I wish I was going too ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september#post-1533506 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 01:38:53 +0000 catgirl 1533506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, did you get yours yet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september#post-1533492 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 01:13:31 +0000 Jaime 1533492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very excited for you being at the TIFF and please take a picture of yourself in "our" Vince asap! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september#post-1533461 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 00:34:06 +0000 Anonymous 1533461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una - no, I've not been to TIFF events, but have been there on business several times when TIFF was on. &nbsp;I've been in restaurants frequented by the stars too during those times, and stayed in hotels in the area . &nbsp;I don't know - I mean, we're not stars or anything , so who really cares what we wear - I'd go as luxe /funky/true to your self as you can. Not formal, but definitely fashion forward, dinner out type stuff. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september#post-1533452 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 00:26:43 +0000 catgirl 1533452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uh-oh, "very dressy"?

Lisa, have you been to TIFF? I've been to Sundance (cold and casual luxe), the Emmys and the Oscars (way out of my league) and only felt comfortable stylewise at Sundance. Is Toronto dressy? I should look up pics. Sis is a director so I expect some events! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september#post-1533352 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 22:17:06 +0000 Helena 1533352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great advice here, September can go either way but is usually warm and gorgeous. I'd just make sure you have some layers to give you flexibility. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september#post-1533333 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 21:51:46 +0000 Anonymous 1533333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My experience with being in Toronto while TIFF is on, is that people are right on top of their fashion game. &nbsp;<div>Do you know Toronto very well? The venues and hotels where the parties are are in the swankiest area of town - and there are a ton of extremely well dressed people around ! &nbsp;And as hot as it can be in September, it's still fall, and most of the well-dressed people will dress to that season . &nbsp; Eeek - so exciting !!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september#post-1533260 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 20:09:07 +0000 Suz 1533260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoot! Looking forward to being your Vince quintuplet (or whatever). Your Vince Lemming?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-in-toronto-in-mid-september#post-1533243 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 19:38:34 +0000 catgirl 1533243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that's warm for me! I do have options and will post for feedback. </p> <p> Suz, the Vince dress arrived and I only had time to fling it on briefly. It fits but was a bit wrinkled so hard to assess - I think it's a yes though. 6 works for me so I think you will fit the 2. It's pretty TTS. </p>
