On Saturday night, many of the same stars from the afternoon’s Entertainment Weekly fete realigned at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association & InStyle’s annual TIFF celebration held at The Windsor Arms Hotel. Presented by MaxMara, the soiree also attracted Naomi Watts, Dakota Johnson and Benicio Del Toro. Naturally, plenty of attendees donned outfits by the Italian fashion house. “When I got [into town], Max Mara took care of me,” said Susan Sarandon, who was in Toronto promoting “About Ray” with Watts and Elle Fanning. “I think they were very generous with a lot of people.” Though the actress admitted, “I’ve never gotten into [fashion]. I don’t really have the time.”
