We will never not be amazed by Toni Collette’s style preferences. The star of Wayward hit the red carpet for the premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival sporting an ensemble that begs for the spotlight:

Believe it or not, while this is very much within her style preferences, it’s actually more modern and of-the-moment than her usual choices, which all tend toward “prairie dresses for fabric dolls with yarn hair.” She would appear to be someone who prefers coverage on the red carpet, but she’s made the mistake of thinking that the only way to make modest styles interesting enough for the red carpet is to pile them up with so much frippery that you can’t help but stare. We could never bring ourselves to love this no matter what changes were made to it, but our main quibbles come down to the awful shoulder ruffles, the flowers around the cuffs, and the sandals, which look really odd with such an overwhelming, high-collared outfit.

ABOUT THE SERIES:
Behind this door, nothing is what it seems.
In the picture-perfect town of Tall Pines, sinister secrets lurk behind every closed door. Not long after police officer Alex Dempsey (Mae Martin) and his pregnant wife Laura (Sarah Gadon) move into their new home, he connects with two students Abbie (Sydney Topliffe) and Leila (Alyvia Alyn Lind) from the local school for “troubled teens” who are desperate to escape and could be the key to unearthing everything rotten in the town. As Alex begins investigating a series of unusual incidents, he suspects that Evelyn (Toni Collette), the school’s mysterious leader, might be at the center of all the problems. Created by Mae Martin, Wayward is a thrilling and genre-bending limited series about the eternal struggle between one generation and the next, what happens when friendship and loyalty are put to the ultimate test, and how buried truths always find a way of coming to the surface.
