Sandra Bullock versus Reese Witherspoon: who looked more stylish at TIFF?

I forgot that Gravity was coming to TIFF just after the big premiere in Venice last week! George Clooney was not in attendance at the TIFF premiere though – I wonder why? I think he was scheduled to appear, but I guess he pulled out…? So we just have photos of Sandra Bullock. Which is still pretty great. Sandy wore this Narciso Rodriguez dress to last night’s premiere. You know what? I like it. I like that Sandra seems to have finally figured out her style to a certain extent. She’s been gravitating more towards clean, minimalist looks the past few years and it’s such an improvement. The color-blocking is okay here – it’s done well, so I approve. Her shoes are Christian Louboutin ‘Geo’. Last thing: Sandy has one thing in common with Gwyneth Paltrow – the center-part rut. Try a side-part!

Thandie Newton at the premiere of Half of a Yellow Sun. She wore a surprisingly cute Stella McCartney dress. Seriously, this is one of the best Stella dresses I’ve ever seen. Also: she’s pregnant again. For the third time. She’s 40 years old…? I thought she was older, quite honestly.

Mireille Enos at the premiere of The Devil’s Knot. She wore Catherine Malandrino. I’m fine with the silhouette, but the color is wrong. I would have loved this in a teal or a blood red or even in gray. Also: I love that she’s married to Cameron from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. That never fails to make me smile.

Reese Witherspoon also at The Devil’s Knot premiere. She wore this really gorgeous little Jason Wu dress. She looks great! The dress is super-flattering and it’s nice to see Reese looking sober-ish.

Hilary Swank at the Inspiration Gala. She’s in a terrible black lace Gucci. Widow doily. DONE.

  2. Downton fan says:

    Sandy a million times over!!

  3. Abra says:

    The seams on Sandra’s dress are terrible.

  4. Lulu86 says:

    Sandra looks fabulous,she has not changed much from Speed. Reese also looks nice but i don’t get the warm fuzzy feeling i had for her anymore lol

  5. Another Ann says:

    Sandy’s dress is great until you hit the satin portion at the bottom. Too shiny and cheap looking, which is a shame because the rest of the dress is great.

    Love Reese’s dress. Jason Wu has been putting out some great little dresses.

    Can’t believe Hilary’s dress is Gucci, what the hell happened to them? That looks more like a Marchesa pos.

    I hate Bullocks dress; it’s that last silky row…ugh

  7. Birdie says:

    Reese’s face looks great here! But I just can’t with her anymore.

  8. Bex says:

    I love Thandie, actually. She must be five minutes pregnant or that dress works miracles with the blocking. Reese’s figure looks great in that dress so I would go with her over Sandra.

  9. Anna says:

    I like Sandy’s whole look, but I am particularly pleased with Reese and the fact that she’s trying something different here.

  10. JudyK says:

    Love Sandra, but what has she done to her face…please stop.

  11. pnichols says:

    Sandra and Reese- two of my favs!!! Wow they BOTH looking stunning. love it

  12. eliza says:

    I love love love Mireille Enos! The Killing is one if the best shows on television, in my opinion and she is wonderful in it.

  13. siobhan says:

    Reese has crazy eyes in the 2nd picture.

  14. j.eyre says:

    I adore Reece’s dress and she looks great in it. I also like Thandie’s look and honestly, I really like Catherine’s dress. I couldn’t wear the color but the shoulder cut out is sexy without being trashy and it is interesting with the faux wrap dress look. It shouldn’t work but kind of does.

    I like the colors of the skirt on Sandra’s dress but not the overall execution.

  15. Harpreet says:

    Really hopes Mireille Enos gets some Emmy love for the Killing next year! She is such a chameleon.

  16. Tig says:

    Who made Reese’s shoes? Love the color. Not feeling Sandra’s dress- think it would have benefitted from a gorgeous necklace. Agree with Hilary’s dress- a bit too Halloween for me!

  17. Common Sense says:

    Sandra all the way! I cannot wait to watch gravity, ever since I heard she was in the film 2 years ago I have been waaaiiting! Now that the wait is almost over and I’ve read really positive reviews about the film and Sandra’s peformance, Oh I am so excited and happy for her! 😀

  18. nancypants says:

    Maybe it has to do with the photography; Wide-angle lens or something?

    Both Sandra and Reese look like bobble-heads.

    I used to love Sandra and liked Reese a lot but over the years I’ve decided that what I’ve loved and liked is the image they project in their movies and not who they are.

    Well, they ARE actors.

  19. Zigggy says:

    Center parts are in right now. I prefer them on myself, the seem to look better with my face.

    • Diana says:

      And is not like Sandy doesn’t do the side part regularly too. Sometimes I just can’t with the judgy comments about perfectly fine do’s on this site.

  20. Jayna says:

    Reese looks like the younger Reese in these photos. She had been looking a little haggard, but in these she has that fresh-faced look again with a great complexion. Not feeling Sandra.

  21. janie says:

    Sandra & Reese both look nice.. Hilary Swank?Oh my.. She & Jessica Biel could be interchangeable with their styles, neither one dress well.

  22. klutzy_girl says:

    I think Reese and Sandra both look great, although I really don’t like Reese’s shoes. I think it’s the color.

  23. Decloo says:

    Oh my GOD Hilary Swank! What were you thinking?

  24. Apsutter says:

    Reese looks so adorable!! Seriously, that’s the best and youngest she’s looked in a while.

  25. Emily C. says:

    Reese Witherspoon’s dress is 100% 50-year old Florida madam. And the shoes are ridiculous with it and hideous in their own right. And Sandra Bullock should never be mentioned in a sentence with Reese Witherspoon. Bullock is awesome. Witherspoon is unbearable.

  26. Dirty Martini says:

    While I have girl love for them both, Reese won this fashion face off handedly. Love the dress, love the shoes.

    Sorry Sandy, but I am completely over the strapless look. And this dress was one of your worst.

  27. Kelly says:

    Sandra of course. I like Reese but not that dress.

  28. IceQueen says:

    Reese and Thandie. Although after her drama I really can’t be objective with her style anymore (talking about Reese). She makes me like beautiful clothes a lot less when they’re on her. 😛

  29. taxi says:

    Swank is rarely well styled. The dress is awful and so is her hair.

    She has such a long face, big teeth & high forehead that she needs shorter hair, no longer than shoulder length, with a half or full bang. With the wrong do, she looks horse-faced

  30. LT says:

    Blech on Reese’s outfit – it looks like cheap beach house upholstery. Sandra looks great – love the shoes!

  31. xxx says:

    I watched Thandie Newton in a movie called “flirting” with Nicole Kidman, she is closer in age to NK. I remember watching the movie and thinking how pretty she was. I watched her age bounce all over the place for the past two decades:) No way she’s 40

  32. AH says:

    I LOVE Alan Ruck (Cameron haha), I find him so attractive!! And he’s 57! How can he be that old?!
