things | Kate Bosworth at 2004’s Toronto International Film Festival 2 Redcarpet ready Whether you want to see or be seen, here’s how to be movie-star chic this festival season I BY LIZA HERZ A film festival is more than the movie stars who briefly touch down to sprinkle their stardust on our towns (Kate Bosworth seen in Club Monaco! Bad boy actors drinking in strip bars!) It’s also the deal-makers, the studio execs, the producers and directors that make the industry hum. If you’re standing in a festival movie lineup this month, particularly in Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal, watch for them. Often the most casually dressed are the most powerful, and the lowest peons are the ones self-importantly barking into their phones. Just look for the laminated ID tags around their necks (a sign that they’re on the job, not just attending a movie) and spot the following fashion types: Actor: Star or up-and-coming, the fashion code is strict. Nighttime means red-carpet dressing, chosen by stylists: fabulous but predictable. During the day, casual reigns with the obligatory mind-bogglingly expensive bag (see Chloe Paddington, below), size zero Habitual jeans and flip-flops or flats. 4 3 famous 38 | september 2006 Publicist: Glorified movie-star babysitter, fetching cold drinks with bendy-straws, cellphone permanently clamped to side of head.

Dressed in either all black (Toronto or NYC crew) or colour (L.A. girls), but always open-toed shoes with an immaculate pedicure. L.A.

Would rather go shopping at local Gucci store for fall bags (already sold out back home) than watch movies in some dark theatre. Dresses like actor (see above) but in size six. European Producer: Carries logo-free bag, like the YSL Muse or woven Bottega Veneta leather tote. Wears well-made shoes, either very dowdy or slutty with vertigo-inducing heels, and always has one standout piece of jewellery that says, “I may be in a city right now but I bought this when scouting locations in Kazakhstan.” 1 1 Cover Girl Whipped Shadow in gold ($6, drugstores) goes on effortlessly to add a subtle gleam to eyelids or cheekbones. 2 Audrey Hepburn wore them on screen and now Oliver Goldsmith Sunglasses like the Amy, seen here ($375, Josephson Opticians), have been relaunched to confer their glamour on you. Plus, their logo-free, subtle, nailhead detail is only recognized by the cognoscenti. 3 Even if you’ve been up late making deals for your newest project, Biotherm Light Catch Moisturizing Illuminating Concealer ($20, Sears), magically erases under-eye shadows so you look well-rested. 4 It weighs more than three pounds (the padlock alone is eight ounces), but the Chloe Paddington is carried by actors so tiny they look like they could barely lift a � � PHOTO BY LUCAS OLENIUK/KEYSTONE
