Celebrities start to arrive in Toronto for TIFF

The most exciting time of year is here in Toronto as TIFF kicks into full gear, and stars have already begun to descend on the city.

The list of celebs expected to make appearances at the festival is extensive this year, ranging from A-list actors like Adam Driver and Nicole Kidman to musical talent like Pharrell Williams, so more star spottings are a given over the coming weeks.

That’s not to say that opening night of the festival was completely devoid of Tinsletown talent, though — in fact, movie lovers were treated to an impressive showing of their favourite Hollywood exports.

Here are all of the celebrities that have been seen at TIFF 2024 so far.

While the first wave of celebrity appearances proves that TIFF 2024 is bound to be a big one, the festival runs until Sunday, Sept. 15, so even more celebrity spottings are just on the horizon.
