Inside the 2nd Annual Society Cup: The Beckerman sisters, gin cocktails, petticoats, and croquet!
Last weekend, for a change of pace from TIFF-related line ups and over-crowded after parties, the Society hosted its 2nd Annual Society Cup alongside Hendrick’s Gin, hosted by the Beckerman sisters, Caillianne and Samantha, of the fashion blog Beckerman Bite Plate. The girls—who brought mom and dad out to join in the revelry—wore matching top hats and DIY safety pin–studded vests, and acted as ringmasters over the courtyard of Hart House, which was sectioned off into various game spaces for bocce, badminton, croquet, and three-legged races.
The event featured buckets of Heineken and a Hendrick’s Gin-soaked cocktail bar. Members enjoyed Brit-inspired nibbles while competing at both sport and fashion for the coveted Pickle trophy. The outfits were decidedly preppy and nostalgic, trumped only by the actors wandering the courtyard in full costume, who we can only imagine were baking through their petticoats in the heat. Thankfully, Hendricks-branded umbrellas were on hand for shade.
Co-founders Ashleigh Dempster, carrying an enviable cat clutch, and Amanda Blakeley who took in the festivities from the shaded tent, both looked ready-to-pop with their matching baby bumps. It was quirkily collegiate way to celebrate the end of a season, and sadly, the last time we’ll get away with bare legs and lawn games for a long while.
