The 2024 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is nearing an end, but that doesn’t mean the red carpet is lacking celebrity appearances. Some of the biggest names in Hollywood have visited Canada’s largest city for the 49th annual festival since it began on Sept. 5 — and more stars are set to come this weekend until the event ends on Sept. 15.
From A-listers like Jennifer Lopez to Pamela Anderson, there’s no shortage of star sightings for movie fans and celebrity lovers. Icons like Demi Moore, Selena Gomez and Angelina Jolie have been bringing out sultry and glamorous looks that are turning everyone’s heads on the red carpet.
