Jessica Biel showed grace under pressure when she made her Toronto Film Festival debut. After hitting the red carpet for the premiere of Easy Virtue at the The Visa Screening Room, Biel swapped her snow white Giambattista Valli frock for a little black dress before dashing off the toast the film at hip spot Kultura.

After a quick trip to New York Fashion week, Emma Roberts hit the Toronto circuit for the premiere of Lymelife, held at the Ryerson Theatre.

Keira Knightley looked regal and shimmered in Bvlgari jewels when she arrived at the premiere of The Duchess, held at Roy Thomson Hall.

"There are relatively few leading roles for women, so to actually have one land on your doorstep was fantastic."

Rachel Weisz went wild when she hit the red carpet at the premiere of The Wrestler-the first of her two Toronto offerings-at The Visa Screening Room. Weisz later mingled with Gerard Butler, Josh Brolin and Mickey Rourke at the after-party, held at the ultra-exclusive Park Hyatt Hotel.

The fans were out in full force to catch a glimpse of Anne Hathaway at the premiere of Rachel Getting Married. And the actress didn't disappoint-exiting her SUV and making a beeline to sign autographs.

"There's no ritual in getting ready, I just work with this great stylist, Rachel Zoe," she said of her signature style.

After engaging in a debate about her taste for tacos at a press conference, Renee Zellweger showed off another signature Carolina Herrera frock at the premiere of Appaloosa, held at the Elgin Theatre.

After helping hairstylist David Babaii introduce his new line of hair care products to Canadian beauty editors, lady in red Kate Hudson joined Petra Nemcova MUZIK for Sir Richard Branson's bash for the Virgin Unite Foundation.

Though co-star George Clooney was a no show, Brad Pitt was more than enough leading man for the fans who lined the block for a glimpse of the red carpet at the Toronto premiere of Burn After Reading, held at Roy Thomson Hall. Pitt was also the center of attention at the film's after-party, where a team of bodyguards was required to escort him to the men's room.
