Jolie opted for a formal yet stylish look for the red carpet. She attended the film's premiere donning a double-breasted coat dress with tights and black heels.

The actor not only posed for shutterbugs but also spoke with media persons about the film Couture, which tells the story of an American filmmaker immersed in the Parisian fashion world, whose life takes an unexpected turn when she is confronted with a grave medical diagnosis.

She shared how people often view death only as an ending, but for her, it also represents transition, strength and the continuation of someone's impact.

"Every single one of us has times in our lives where we have to deal with, whether it's us or someone we love, dealing with health issues. And, I think, we too often see it as the end. And we stop living, and we forget who we are. And I loved that when she discovered she had cancer, (0:22) she was trying to figure out how to still live. And she pushes herself through that. And I think that's what everyone needs to do, what we need to do for each other," Jolie said in a video posted on TIFF's Instagram handle.

Couture also makes history as the first fictional film to be shot inside Chanel's iconic Paris showroom and atelier.

"They let me go backstage of all of their shows, to meet seamstresses in the atelier, the workers of fashion," director Alice Winocour said.

She added, "In most fashion movies, it's usually from the point of view of an artistic director, who are mostly men. I thought it was very interesting to have the female point of view and the point of view from the working-class heroes.

Gandhi shines at TIFF

Gandhi shines at TIFF

It was a historic evening at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) as Applause Entertainment’s series Gandhi, directed by Hansal Mehta, premiered to an International audience. Marking a first for India, Gandhi became the first-ever Indian series to be showcased at TIFF.

The premiere was attended by the team behind this project - Sameer Nair (Managing Director, Applause Entertainment), Hansal Mehta (Director), Pratik Gandhi, AR Rahman, Tom Felton, Kabir Bedi and Bhamini Oza.

“Long before he became the Mahatma, he was just Mohan. Ambitious, like most adolescents are. Flawed, as most people are. Reluctant, as some heroes are. His life is an astonishing mix of destiny and choice… Welcome to ‘our’ Gandhi – a story for all of us,” shares Sameer Nair

Two episodes of Gandhi were showcased at the festival, giving audiences a first glimpse into the young man behind the icon. Unlike conventional portrayals, the series delves into Gandhi’s early years, full of contradictions, failures, awakenings, and self-discovery making his story both timeless and deeply relatable to today’s generation.
