Demi Moore Looks Red Hot in Latex at Toronto Film Festival

Demi Moore has been on a menswear style streak this film festival season, most recently stepping out at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday night wearing a black tie with a white dress shirt. However, the actress–who’s currently promoting her film The Substance– decided to switch things up in the sartorial department on Saturday, Sept. 7, making a daring appearance on the red carpet in a red hot latex dress.

Moore ditched her blazers and trousers for the fiery monochromatic look as she attended the Road to the Golden Globes party over the weekend. The midi-length red leather dress, which showed off the Ghost actress’s tanned décolletage with barely-there spaghetti straps and a square neckline, hugged her body with a form-fitting bodice and a deconstructed version of a drop waist. Part of the skirt wrapped around with a tie in front, adding an edgy silhouette to the otherwise simple latex gown. Moore paired the scarlet gown with gold hoop earrings and matching red peep toe heels, as well as her signature beauty look. She styled her jet black tresses in a middle-parted sleek style that went all the way down past her waist, and sculpted her features with bronzed makeup and a cherry lipstick. 

While the actress’s bold look was a 180 from her usual style choices, she proved that she’s still in her menswear era by wearing a blazer just hours earlier while making an appearance at the Variety Toronto International Film Festival Step & Repeat. The Variety cover star gave officecore a red carpet makeover by stepping out in an oversized gray jacket that she wore open to show off matching shorts and a silk ombre dress shirt that went from white to Brat lime green. For her daytime appearance, Moore wore a brown, fall-ready lipstick along with her middle-parted straight hair. 

The actress, who’s garnered Oscar buzz for her role as a woman who goes to extreme lengths to reverse aging, said she hopes The Substance opens up conversations about society’s obsession with youth and unrealistic beauty standards.

“It’s impacted people,” Moore said about the film while speaking at Variety’s Toronto Film Festival Studio. “You know, my hope is that it would bring a cultural shift, that it would be part of the conversation that starts to move the needle … allowing us to see the importance of being more gentle, more kind to ourselves.”
