Drew Barrymore at TIFF was all smiles as she showed off a unique mix of romantic-punk and crayola-cool, complete with two-toned hair. The dress featured a vivid yellow under-layer that looked almost sun-lit, with a lace overlay wrapping around the shoulders and collarbone with an insect-like delicacy. To complete this offbeat romantic look, Barrymore chose a pair of satin Casadei peep-toes. The dress is part of Alexander McQueen’s [Resort 2010 collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resort-wear-label), which also includes super-fine leggings made out of the same insect-like lace worn by Drew Barrymore at TIFF. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Insect-inspired Fashion:** There is an opportunity for designers to incorporate insect-like delicacy into their fashion designs, creating edgy and avant-garde looks. - **Romantic-punk Style:** The combination of romantic and punk elements in fashion can create unique and offbeat looks that appeal to fashion enthusiasts. - **Avant-garde Gowns:** Designers can explore the use of vibrant colors and intricate lace overlays in gowns to create visually stunning and unconventional designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can take inspiration from insect couture and incorporate it into their own designs, offering customers unique and innovative clothing options. - **Film and Entertainment:** The film and entertainment industry can collaborate with fashion designers to create custom outfits for actors and celebrities that showcase avant-garde fashion trends. - **Luxury Footwear:** High-end footwear companies can create satin peep-toes and other unique shoe styles that complement edgy and romantic fashion looks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Cult Film-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-beetlejuice1.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Actress-Approved Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-drew-chair-by-beautiful.md) - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Summer Bridal Guest-Of Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-guestof-collection.md) - [Celebrity-Backed Home Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drew-barrymore.md) - [Dynamic Shape-Shifting Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primrose-dress.md) - [New Year-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-lunar-new-year-campaign.md)
