You can always count on Anna Kendrick to wear something feminine—but now, she’s all about breaking her own status quo. “I find myself drawn to really romantic pieces, but I definitely try and push myself to go towards edgy,” the actress told InStyle.com at Barneys New York last night, where she was on hand celebrate the launch of Marissa Webb‘s collection at the retailer. “I feel like my safety zone is maybe too feminine. I love it when designers can put hard edges and tough details on what are generally considered really feminine pieces.” Kendrick’s change is already evident, from her studded Rebecca Minkoff top to the strappy Brian Atwood sandals she paired with her Zuhair Murad beaded mini to her teal Alberta Feretti lace dress, the latter of which she told us was her recent favorite. However, she embodied her style resolution entirely last night when she paired a flowy Grecian style dress ($745) with a leather vest ($1,025), both from Webb’s collection. “What I love about this line is that it is so feminine and so romantic, and then there’s just enough of an edge to make you feel like you’re pushing yourself in a new direction,” said Kendrick. “It feels very current.” A perfect fit!

While Elie Saab is gearing up for his fashion show in Paris later this month, he seems to already be putting on one at the Toronto International Film Festival. His track record this week is more massive than some labels have all year, with the Lebanese designer dressing some of the biggest names in town. Anna Kendrick chose a onyx lace-sleeve design for the End of Watch premiere; Naomi Watts picked a lavender gown with a plunging neckline for The Impossible premiere; Keira Knightley slipped into a black couture lace gown for her Anna Karenina premiere; and Nina Dobrev of The Perks of Being a Wallflower pulled three looks by Saab, including this red cap-sleeve peplum design for the Argo premiere. “I love this color,” she told InStyle.com of why she picked the look at the Grey Goose-hosted after-party, held at the Soho House. Rachel McAdams of To the Wonder, Jennifer Lawrence of Silver Linings Playbook, and Liana Liberato of Writers also hopped on the Elie Saab bandwagon. This is a fashion show, alright—Toronto style!
