Red carpets were rolled out around town in Toronto on Thursday as the city's international film festival got underway. From Matrix’s Carrie-Anne Moss to The Wedding Crashers' Isla Fisher, the stars had turned out in force for the festival's first screenings.
Brunette beauty Carrie-Anne was looking gorgeous in an elegant black dress accessorised with the season's hottest shoe trend, animal print heels, as she stepped out to watch Fido, a quirky tale about domesticated zombies. The Vancouver-born actress was joined on the red carpet by her dapper co-stars Spider-Man villain Dylan Baker and British actor Billy Connolly.
Flame-haired Isla, who grew up in Australia, was snapped at the Ryerson Theatre screening of the quirkily titled Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan. The satirical film features her fiancé Sacha Baron-Cohen as a Kazakhstani TV personality on assignment in the US.
In the flick, which is released in North American cinemas in November, Sacha's character opts to track Pamela Anderson - who also appears in the film - rather than any perhaps more obvious Western target.
Other big-name guests due to show their faces at the festival before the weekend include Penelope Cruz – whose film Volver wowed audiences at Cannes – and Reese Witherspoon. Also expected to be on hand are James McAvoy and Catherine O'Hara, in town for the premiere of their comedy Penelope.
