Maude Apatow Unveils Vintage Whimsy at TIFF 2025 • CelebMafia

From Euphoria’s cool girl to TIFF’s directorial darling—Maude Apatow’s sartorial pivot is as sharp as her new film’s wit.

Maude Apatow, fresh from the rapturous premiere of her directorial debut Poetic License at the Toronto International Film Festival, offered a masterclass in understated elegance—with just a hint of mischief. Stepping into the Deadline Studio on September 8, 2025, Apatow swapped her on-screen Euphoria edge for a look that whispered “literary salon meets modern minimalism.”

The centerpiece? A Lee Mathews Resort 2026 dress in a buttery, textured fabric—think linen-meets-silk, with a playful plaid pattern that nodded to vintage schoolhouse chic. The silhouette was demure yet deliberate: a Peter Pan collar framed her face, while the short sleeves and knee-grazing hem struck a balance between youthful and refined. The dress’s structured bodice softened into a gently flared skirt, a subtle nod to the “quiet luxury” trend that’s dominating 2025’s fashion lexicon.

Apatow’s accessories were a study in restraint. In her hands, a sleek black clutch—likely a go-to for red carpet pit stops—felt intentional, not afterthought. But the real star? Her choice of footwear: The Row’s Vika Ankle Strap Heel in Leather, a shoe so effortlessly chic it could anchor a boardroom pitch or a late-night poetry reading. The slender strap and understated block heel elongated her frame without competing with the dress’s pattern.
