TIFF 2013: Jessica Chastain dazzles at the InStyle and Hollywood Foreign Press Association party

For the dozens of fans who stuck it out till 11:30 last night, it was worth the wait.

Jessica Chastain arrived 2.5 hours into the Instyle and Hollywood Foreign Press Association party at the Windsor Arms Hotel. But when she finally pulled up to the red carpet, she eagerly crossed the street to sign autographs and pose for photos with fans.

She even had a special dress picked out for the event, hosted by Salvatore Ferragamo. Earlier in the day, Chastain attended the premiere and dinner for The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby in aqua Versace. After dessert, she slipped into pale blue satin Dolce & Gabbana with black lace panels which she wore with custom Ferragamo heels.

Others circulating amid crimson aranthera orchids in the hotel’s courtyard: Juliette Lewis in a (very) off-the-shoulder white body con dress, Abigail Breslin who rocked a shrunken jean jacket over an Alice + Olivia ballgown, and Emilia Clarke, who traded her Game of Thrones’ goddess gowns for a feminine pansy print.
