It was a busy weekend in Toronto as the stars descended for the vaunted Toronto International Film Festival.

The movie premiere of the highly-anticipated Hustlers was a huge draw with Keke Palmer slaying the red carpet. Starring Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu, the film follows savvy strippers, who secure the bag by tricking their Wall Street clientele.

Many stars also showed up for Eddie Murphy’s return to the big screen in his new film, Dolemite Is My Name. Murphy, who portrays real-life comedian and musician Rudy Ray Moore, is at the festival with the film’s costars Mike Epps, Craig Robinson, Tituss Burgess, Wesley Snipes, Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Keegan-Michael Key.

Check out to see who was else in Toronto.
