She's been turning heads thanks to her virtually unrecognizable makeover for her portrayal of flame-haired Queen Elizabeth I in Mary Queen Of Scots.

But Margot Robbie was back to her usual glamour as she put in a stylish appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival at Bisha Hotel & Residences on Friday.

The Australian actress, 27, looked stylish in stripes as she sat on the IMDB Studio Hosted By The Visa Infinite Lounge panel ahead of the premiere of her new movie, I, Tonya, later that night.

The Wolf Of Wall Street starlet looked incredible in a chic ensemble of a black pencil skirt, featuring large button detailing.

Margot, who's playing Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding in the biopic, teamed the number with a striped half-sleeved sweater.

The former soap star ditched the red wig she has been sporting on the set of Mary Queen Of Scots in England in recent weeks and was back to blonde.

Margot looked radiant, wearing her short golden locks in loose waves, and accentuating her stunning features with natural make-up.

She shared a laugh during the panel with Sebastian Stan and Allison Janney, both of whom are her co-stars in the upcoming feature film.

Allison, 57, was the picture of elegance in a bright purple cocktail dress, and Sebastian, 35, had flung a black leather jacket over a black and white shirt.

The acting trio posed for a photo alongside their director Craig Gillespie, who was film festival chic in a multicolored scarf, rumpled blazer and cloud grey cap.

At one point, Sebastian, Margot, Allison and Craig all stood for the cameras with three of the movie's producers - Tom Ackerley, Bryan Unkeless and Steven Rogers.

Margot is also one of the producers of I, Tonya. Another producer wearing multiple hats is Steven, who wrote the screenplay.

Twice an Olympian and famed for her triple axel, Tonya found herself slapped with a lifetime ban from the U.S. Figure Skating Association in 1994.

Her bodyguard and her ex-husband had enlisted a thug to break her skating rival Nancy Kerrigan's leg, and though he bungled the job, he still bruised Nancy severely enough to force her out of the U.S. Figure Skating Championship.

The next month, both Tonya and Nancy competed in the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. The former earned eighth place, the latter a silver medal.

Though the three men - as well as the getaway car driver - served time for their involvement in the attack, Tonya pleaded guilty to conspiracy to hinder their prosecution, thereby managing to keep herself out of prison.

Sebastian plays Tonya's ex-husband Jeff Gillooly, Allison Tonya's mother LaVona Fay Golden.

Margot was in Britain earlier this week filming yet another biopic, this one of Mary, Queen Of Scots.

Photographs emerged of Margot on set on Tuesday, unrecognizable while playing Queen Elizabeth I, who'd had Mary, Queen Of Scots beheaded in 1587 for conspiring to assassinate her.

Her face powdered white and an extravagant orange wig on her head, Margot was the spitting image of the 'Virgin Queen,' down to the ruff around her neck.

The film will apparently also offer a glimpse of Elizabeth with a bald spot she'd typically kept hidden beneath her hairpiece.

Gina Rodriguez of Jane The Virgin says she likes her 'curves' and doesn't want to be Photoshopped

'I want to look like myself!': Gina Rodriguez of Jane The Virgin says she likes her 'curves' and doesn't want to be Photoshopped

Gina Rodriguez has often been vocal on the subject of body image.

In the October issue of Women's Health, the Jane The Virgin lead expressed her antipathy to exorbitantly retouched photos of herself that excised her 'curves' and 'birthmark.'

'I want to look like myself,' insisted the 32-year-old, who was featured in the magazine's lineup of '16 Bada** Women Who Are Changing The Game.'

The Chicago native elaborated that during 'this day and age of Photoshopping and transforming oneself and filtering and filtering and filtering, it really feels good when a photo can capture my heart, my body, my spirit, without having to gloss over it.'

At one point, she touched on the commonalities between people, saying: 'We all want love, we want acceptance, we all want to be healthy, to have a family, and be successful. Yet we act like we don't.

'We act,' she explained, 'like our separation of culture, our separation of color, makes us different. But we all want the same damn things.'

Yet she also stressed individuality, advising: 'Don’t compare yourself to anyone' and adding that 'no one is in your race. Stay in your lane, and do you.'

The Golden Globe winner also encouraged perseverance, though she acknowledged that 'People will say no to you left and right.'

She unfurled quite the list: 'People will say you are not attractive. People will say you are not skinny enough, not tall enough, not thick enough, not curvy enough, not white enough, not brown enough, not this enough.

'Well,' she said, 'I really hope you don’t feel that way about yourself, because then we’re all screwed.'

Her exhortations included: 'If you love yourself there’s absolutely no opportunity to hate anybody else. You actually can’t. If you are happy, you’re not going to go around being like, "You suck. You’re terrible. F*** you." You don’t do that. If you love yourself, you know nothing but love.'

Returning model: The 32-year-old had covered the magazine for its May issue this year, and opened up about the 'very strange feeling to be okay with a little cellulite or a little extra anything'

Rodriguez had covered Women's Health for its May issue, and opened up therein on the way she's publicly addressed her weight gain from Hashimoto's disease.

'I’m trying to use my social media,' she'd explained, 'as a way to communicate that I’m flawed and that I’m okay with it. It’s a very strange feeling to be okay with a little cellulite or a little extra anything. I don’t look at it and feel terrified anymore, and my confidence changed because of that. I carry myself differently.'

Noting that 'It’s like we women consciously decide we’re going to be mean to ourselves,' she'd countered: 'But you’re your own hero, not some image you can’t live up to.'

Jane The Virgin will return to The CW on October 17 at 9/8c for its third series.

Chloe Grace Moretz was the epitome of glamour at the premiere of her new film Brain On Fire at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday.

The newly-single 19-year-old wore a pretty yellow dress which showed off her side tattoo as she posed up a storm on the red carpet.

Hair pulled away from her face, the teen star looked absolutely sensational as she worked her magic on the red carpet.

The actress' plunging neckline was embellished with sparkling silver and red accents as the remainder of the dress came close to touching the floor.

The gown was teamed with a pair of heels as it competed for attention with Chloe's extremely eye-catching bold red lipstick.

Her complexion was complimented with pink blush and a dramatic shade of smoky eyeshadow and lashes.

Chloe stars as real-life journalist Susannah Cahalan in the film adaptation of her book, Brain On Fire.

At age 24, Susannah was hospitalized as she struggled with a rare auto-immune condition which caused violent episodes and delusions.

She has now recovered after a miraculous proper diagnosis, and has gone on to chronicle the experience in the 2012 book Brain On Fire.

Charlize Theron was one of the producers of the film, which was directed by Gerard Barrett.

Both, of course, didn't miss out on the big night, with Charlize taking the stage beside Chloe during the premiere.

Calling it 'the role of a lifetime', Chloe said during a press conference at the film festival that she was compelled to make the movie after reading the story and meeting with Susannah.

'When I read the book, and when I read the script and then when I spoke to Susannah, it just felt pertinent to me that this movie was made for a multitude of reasons,' she said.

'It’s more than a movie about illness. It’s a story about labeling and mislabeling and misunderstanding and how far a misunderstanding can go.'
