TIFF 2012: Dinner with the divine Marion Cotillard in Dior Couture
Divine. There is no other word to describe Marion Cotillard, who floated into last night’s Rust & Bone 2012 Toronto International Film Festival dinner in Look 38, straight off the Dior Haute Couture runway. The tweed strapless dress with back peplum from Raf Simons’s first collection for the house will be a tough red carpet act to follow for stars attending TIFF this year. The dinner, hosted by Moet & Chandon champagne, was held at the subterranean Michael’s on Simcoe St. Cotillard arrived with co-star Matthias Schoenarts before later zipping off to the TIFF film screening at the Elgin theatre. At the dinner, Marion Cotillard politely posed with anyone brave enough to be compared to her aqua blue eyes, rose pink lips and hair swooped up into an elegant wave. Marion Cotillard’s royal blue silk satin slingbacks with yellow tulle trim were a hopeful sign that the skyscraper heel trend is finis (as of TIFF 2012 that is). The needle-toe shoes were set on a low comma heel, an innovation designed by Roger Vivier for Christian Dior back in the ‘50s.
One little glitch? A button on the back of the skirt seemed to malfunction as Marion Cotillard was tucking into her plate of parma prosciutto, burrata, heirloom tomatoes and figs. She suddenly rose and shimmied over to one of her aides with a giant shawl around her waist. He reached under and did some quick adjustments before vanishing with the star for several minutes. Her strip loin sat untouched at her place-setting for the rest of the TIFF evening.
