Rose Byrne, 46, attended a screening of her new film "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday, appearing on the red carpet in a striking pink sleeveless gown and posing with members of the cast.
Byrne's dress featured dramatic pleating and a fitted silhouette that highlighted her shoulders and arms. She completed the look with silver peep-toe heels, diamond drop earrings and hair pulled back in a classic style. Photographers captured Byrne smiling and posing with co-stars, including Ivy Wolk, who wore a bright yellow frilled mini-dress.
The appearance comes as Byrne and her "Platonic" co-star Seth Rogen promoted the Apple TV+ series and related projects. In a July interview on Nova's "Fitzy and Wippa with Kate Ritchie" show, Byrne recounted early efforts to break into television in Australia, saying she auditioned for several long-running soaps. She referenced a role on the short-lived 1995 Network Ten soap "Echo Point," and acknowledged that she also tried out for "Neighbours" and "Home and Away," but did not land parts on those series.
"Echo Point" aired for a single season in 1995 and featured actors who later became better known nationally and internationally. Byrne told hosts she viewed those early roles as part of the path that led to larger film and television opportunities in the United States.
Byrne's career has included roles in comedies such as "Bridesmaids" and the Apple TV+ series "Platonic," as well as Australian films. In related news about Australian cinema, director Gregor Jordan recently told The Sydney Morning Herald that he has completed a script for a sequel to the 1999 film "Two Hands," which originally starred a 19-year-old Heath Ledger and Byrne. Jordan said the new script updates the story for the present day and that the timing, 25 years after the original, felt right to him.
At TIFF, Byrne promoted "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" amid the festival's broader program, which showcases a range of international films and attracts industry attention ahead of awards season. Byrne's red carpet appearance and media interviews highlighted both her current projects and the early chapters of a career that has spanned Australian television and international film and television work.
