New York Fashion Week isn't the only A-list event happening this weekend.

The Toronto International Film Festival is also taking place and the attendees are just as stellar as they are over the border. Last night Sandra Bullock and George Clooney walked the red carpet and so did the lovely Rachel McAdams.

With her chic wavy bob and scarlet lips, Rachel looked sultry and sexy as she faced the cameras. But of course it's her dress that has got us most excited. By Cushnie et Ochs it's the perfect little cocktail number and the good news is it's available to buy now.

The slinky number featured a sexy mesh side panel which exposed her flesh-coloured undergarment and a glimpse of her impeccably honed legs.

Rachel teamed the frock with a pair of black pointed Christian Louboutin stilettos which featured a subtle cage design.

She wore her blonde locks tousled and fashioned into an elegant updo which perfectly framed her face.

A striking red-plum lip and a confident stance ensured she captivated the red-carpet audience.

James - who plays leading role Tomas Elden in the upcoming German drama - was absent from the premiere but little-known actors Julia Sarah Stone and Robert Naylor both put in an appearance.

The duo couldn't contain their happiness as they proudly walked the red carpet with Rachel and German director Wim Wenders.

The flick marks their first major foray into big-screen acting.
