Rebel Wilson‘s The Deb is set to close the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) despite her ongoing legal dispute with the film’s producers — and the Aussie star is celebrating in Hollywood style.
The Pitch Perfect actress, 44, and her fiancée Ramona Agruma, 40, schmoozed with Selena Gomez and Pharrell Williams at the Vanity Fair and Netflix’s starry VIP party at the Four Seasons Hotel on Sunday.
Actors and directors, including Anthony Mackie, Alicia Vikander and Aussie Stranger Things star Dacre Montgomery, partied alongside Netflix‘s film boss, Dan Lin, at the streaming giant and magazine’s co-hosted bash.
Selena, 32, attended with her Emilia Pérez co-stars Karla Sofía Gascón and Zoe Saldaña after presenting at the annual TIFF Tribute Awards earlier on Sunday.

Rebel and Ramona waltzed to an intimate performance by Robbie Williams at the party, as the happy couple listened to the superstar perform his hits Better Man and Angels for the crowd of VIPs.
‘We love you Robbie!’ Rebel shouted out in videos she shared to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday.
The mother-of-one attended Cate Blanchett’s talk on Sunday and told the publication she was eagerly awaiting Michael Gracey’s Better Man screening on Monday.
‘I’m so excited to see how it turned out,’ she said in reference to the CGI monkey that plays Robbie Williams.

She was sued for defamation by producers Amanda Ghost and Gregor Cameron, and executive producer Vince Holden after accusing the trio of blocking her movie from premiering at TIFF.
Last month, the producers filed an amended complaint, prompting Wilson to hit back in a fiery statement aimed at Len Blavatnik, the billionaire whose company AI Film financed the coming-of-age musical.
‘Len Blavatnik, please stop funding and protecting Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden,’ Wilson wrote in an impassioned post on Instagram.

Labelling the producers ‘f***wits’, she continued her tirade, also calling them ‘vile and disgusting’.
‘Clearly these recent press articles and constant retaliations against me for speaking the truth on my small Australian movie are FALSE,’ Wilson continued.
‘All I did was tell the truth about these absolute f****wits – now they launch a bogus defamation suit and bogus articles to inflict further harm.’
Prior to that, the producers of The Deb branded Wilson a ‘malicious bully’ in their defamation lawsuit.
In their amended complaint, The Deb producers claimed Wilson defamed them in an Instagram post in which she accused the trio of embezzling money from the film’s budget and also claimed that Ghost sexually harassed one of the lead actresses.

Rebel first lashed out at the producers on July 10 for allegedly blocking the movie from premiering at TIFF.
In the four-minute video, the Australian star hurled accusations at the trio of producers, accusing them of ‘bad behaviour’ and ‘inappropriate conduct’ which they denied.
Wilson’s directorial debut centres on two teenage girls preparing to attend a debutante ball in the Australian Outback.
