Celebrity Watches and Accessories at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival

Ten standout red-carpet appearances in Toronto, from Cartier and Rolex watches to Tiffany jewellery: what does each accessory say?

Celebrity watches and accessories at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival: a watch and the red carpet

The 2024 Toronto International Film Festival was not only a place to watch films. Its red carpet was where watches, jewellery and small styling details said something about each star’s taste and story. Here we look at ten standout appearances through their watches and accessories, and close with tips for choosing a watch inspired by them.

Ten stars, ten choices

01

Dwyane Wade

Riff Raff premiere

Wade arrived with Gabrielle Union and kept the whole look black so the watch could stand out: a Cartier Tank Louis Cartier with a yellow-gold case, a red dial and a red leather strap. That single splash of red quietly echoed his wife’s Prada outfit without competing with it.

Adam Driver

Megalopolis opening

Driver went for a vintage Rolex Sea-Dweller: a steel case and a black dial with white lettering. Reports place this reference between the 1980s and the late 1990s, with similar examples priced around $10,000. A simple, classic choice from someone who usually wears more varied watches.

Andrew Garfield

Red carpet

Garfield paired a blue Gucci suit with a camel shirt from Sabato De Sarno’s autumn 2024 collection, balancing classic and modern, and finished the look with an Omega watch that sat quietly beside the clothes rather than shouting.

Pharrell Williams

Piece by Piece premiere

For the premiere of his animated biopic, Williams wore the Richard Mille RM UP-01 Ferrari, one of the thinnest watches in the world at 1.75 mm, inspired by a Ferrari dashboard. Production is limited to 150 pieces and the price is reported at close to $1.88 million.

Barry Keoghan

Bird opening

Keoghan wore a Louis Vuitton look built around a boundary-pushing vest designed by Tyler, the Creator. The more telling detail was personal: a gold watch and a silver bracelet engraved with the initial of his late mother.

Selena Gomez

Emilia Pérez red carpet

Gomez drew on old Hollywood: a custom sequinned Rodarte dress, sparkling Tiffany & Co. jewellery and black strappy Santoni shoes. A glamorous mix that drew the media’s attention.

Kaia Gerber

Shell opening

Gerber wore a Hervé Léger dress that recalled her mother Cindy Crawford’s look at the 1993 Oscars, and took her accessories from her mother’s archive: old diamond jewellery and a vintage Omega. Nostalgia was the styling idea here, not just a watch.

08

Demi Moore

The Substance opening

Moore took menswear as her starting point: a long Thom Browne skirt with a silk belt, a white tuxedo shirt and a black tie. Tiffany & Co. diamond earrings, a Jean Schlumberger sea-star brooch at the waist and two large diamond rings completed the classic look.

Jennifer Lopez

Toronto festival

Lopez combined a pleated beige Chloé dress with Sabyasachi jewellery: large gem-set earrings, heavy cuff bracelets (kada) and an intricately designed diamond ring that was the high point of her jewellery.

Kate Hudson

Shell opening

Hudson wore Vivienne Westwood, a pink peplum top and a long silk skirt, but eyes went to her diamond-set Tiffany & Co. necklace: yellow gold in the shape of a scorpion, in step with the whole look.

What these looks can teach us

01

One colour, one connection

A watch’s strap or dial can echo one colour in the outfit. Wade did exactly that with a splash of red on a black look.

02

A vintage watch has a story

Driver’s Rolex and Gerber’s Omega show that an older watch is not just old; it adds a personal story to the look.

03

Personalised accessories

Keoghan’s engraved bracelet proves that one personal detail can matter more than the most expensive piece.

04

One standout piece is enough

Pharrell Williams’s watch and Hudson’s necklace were each the centre of the look; every other detail served that piece.
