Local style inspo is everywhere on social these days, from the ultra-glam get-up donned by Canada’s Drag Race winner Priyanka, to football player Chase Claypool sporting Sevin Kasran (plus a heap of luxury labels). It makes us feel good to see Canadian design in such company, so without further ado, here are the homegrown fashion […]

What combination of clothing makes for the best on-screen outfit? According to Liz Trinnear—the season 2 host of CTV’s singing competition show, The Launch—it’s all about “textures, patterns and bright colours.” Liz, who you’ll recognize from CTV’s ETALK and her days as a MuchMusic VJ, knows a lot about music — and a scroll through her […]

A block of Queen Street was closed off this past weekend, which can only mean one thing: the MuchMusic Video Awards (aka the street bash of the summer). With British cutie Ed Sheeran taking on hosting duties and serenading fans, the evening started off with a bang with Fall Out Boy and Carly Rae Jepsen […]

Perfect skin, envy-worthy brows, and perfect lashes: what every woman wants and exactly what we saw all over last night’s MMVA red carpet. Each red carpet makeup look started with a perfect canvas: flawless complexion and defined features (a.k.a serious contouring). If you’re not a makeup guru or tutorial enthusiast, contouring is about using makeup to enhance, or defined features in order to achieve overall skin perfection.

With perfected skin MMVA 2014 attendees played up a different version of the typical smoky eye/ pale lip combo. Unlike the traditional application, this lighter version places emphasis on larger-than-life lashes (instead of heavy shadow) to achieve sultry eyes. Even more eye-emphasis was achieved with full natural brow shapes, in darkened tones. Red carpet Lips were muted with pales tones varying from concealer-esque to soft corals and light pinks.

You know the Much Music Video Awards are in town when Queen Street shuts down for Toronto’s biggest music party of the summer. With a standout lineup of international musicians and Kendall and Kylie Jenner flub-less hosting, there was no doubt MMVA 2014 is becoming a must-watch music award show in the industry. Between the pajama-clad Marianas Trench literally rolling onto the red carpet and Ed Sheeran handing out free food, Toronto’s hottest show was bigger and better than ever.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner proved they were the front-runners of last night’s best-dressed list with the two changing into three eye-catching outfits for the two-hour show. However, leave it to the Kardashians Jenners to know how to get heads turning on the red carpet. While the younger of the two siblings was dressed in a bedazzling orange mini dress, Kendall upped Angelina Jolie’s infamous right leg at the 2012 Oscars, shocking the fans in a Fausto Puglisi dress with slits that went well past her thighs, exposing hip bone. Thanks to the beautiful weather and possibly rolls of double-sided tape, there were no wardrobe malfunctions.

A sparse wintertime social calendar will do things to a person. Namely, make them want to party. On Wednesday night, spring fever was certainly in the air and Toronto’s most stylish were out for a good time. After the Joe Fresh and Pink Tartan co-hosted party over at Lee restaurant, the gang headed over to The Citizen (formerly Brant House) for a hip-hop throwdown courtesy of Mackage, Maybelline and Redken.

DJ Brendan Fallis a.k.a. 21^st century Paul Newman set the stage for one helluva sweaty dance party, swiftly (maybe a little swiftly) blending A$AP Rocky into Lynyrd Skynyrd like woah. (Important note: Beyoncé’s “Drunk in Love” was the only track played in full which kept everything right in the world). Leading the dance pack was Cary Tauben who flitted from group to group with his signature flair. Honourable mentions go to designer Mikhael Kale, Chatelaine editor Tyler Franch and Narrative PR’s Laura Serra for fashionably beating up the beat till the wee hours.

Last night’s Massive Party at the Art Gallery of Ontario was just that. Massive. The ninth annual fundraiser sprawled across much the AGO’s Frank Gehry-fied space with gold glitter, gold jewels, gold-inspired exhibits and even gold body paint on scantily clad models. The theme for the night, if you haven’t guessed by now, was indeed luxury’s finest metal: gold. Inspiring many of the night’s 1,800 attendees to dress their blingiest, gold may as well have been a metaphor for “top tier,” with many of Toronto’s top artists—Maylee Todd, Thrush Holmes and Tibi Tibi Neuspiel to name just a few—participating with one-off installations and performances for the night. Even the night’s curator, multidisciplinary artist Justin Broadbent created exclusive pieces for the event, our favourite being a graffitied “Poor Hipster” painting bookended with gold streamers.
