Artful attire: Nina Dobrev shows off her tanned pins in a paint-splattered ensemble

Golden glow: Nina Dobrev looked like sherbet in her paint-splattered top, matching shorts, and tangerine heels earlier today at The Hollywood Reporter Video Lounge

The Vampire Diaries star, 23, began her day at the Variety Studio in Holt Renfrew, and specifically opted against bringing her credit card to the soiree - tweeting that 'otherwise I'd get myself in trouble.'

Ever since she arrived in Canada two days ago, the brunette has been a standout on the red carpet.

The tanned starlet looked striking in the strapless Monique Lhuiller gown and Brian Atwood heels she wore to the premiere of her new film yesterday.

And the previous night Nina took the plunge in a flirty red Elie Saab peplum top and pencil skirt with lavender Elie Saab heels at the premiere party for Ben Affleck's film Argo at Soho House.

However, Dobrev sincerely worried she'd face a fashion emergency when she landed at the airport.

'Crossing my fingers that my dresses get to Toronto when I do! Because the alternative would really suck,' she tweeted on Thursday to her 2.7million followers.

'Otherwise I'll have to start a new trend - jeans and flip flops to a movie premiere. Classy.'

Not seen at Toronto was her boyfriend and Vampire Diaries co-star Ian Somerhalder, whom she hesitated dating at first.

'Sometimes you can't help who you have a connection with, and you can only fight it for so long,' Nina recently told Seventeen Magazine.

'I didn't want to be dating one of my co-stars - my goal on the show was to be professional.'

Despite their 10-year age difference, Dobrev and Somerhalder began quietly dating in 2010 a year after the hit show started filming, and the new season begins October 11.

Also seen at the Variety Studio party were reality stars Coco Austin and her rapper husband Ice-T.

The 33-year-old blonde bombshell also opted for colourfully painted jeans, and she could barely contain her surgically-enhanced assets in an orange tank top.

On the other end of the creative spectrum, the cast of indie drama The Sessions were also seen indulging in some freebies at the Moroccanoil-sponsored event.

Helen Hunt, wearing a ladylike grey belted dress, has been receiving Oscar buzz for her steamy new role as a 'professional sexual surrogate' in the film due out October 26.

The Mad About You star posed with her co-stars John Hawkes, who plays a man in an iron lung who wishes to lose his virginity, and William H. Macy, who plays his priest.
