Toronto Film Festival

The 2026 Toronto International Film Festival proved why it remains a cornerstone of the awards season build-up. Unlike Cannes with its Riviera polish or Venice with its old-world grandeur, TIFF has a grounded but no-less-glamorous red carpet identity. This year was no exception, with premieres delivering a mix of heavyweight couture, directional menswear, and stars using the festival to set the tone for their awards campaigns.
