The Toronto International Film Festival is back and, despite this year’s festivities appearing to be a more toned-down affair due to the ongoing Hollywood strikes, many celebrities have still graced the TIFF 2023 red carpet.

Last Thursday opera lovers, patrons of the arts and faces who frequent Toronto’s party circuit came together to support the Canadian Opera Company for Operanation 9: Sweet Revenge. Attendees reflected the event’s theme of high-brow-opera-meets-pop-culture-concert well: Women in floor-length evening gowns navigated the many staircases of the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts with ease—proving there’s no architectural challenge a mermaid dress can’t master—while others used the Centre’s sprawling steps as seating throughout the night.

Actress Gabrille Miller looked stunning in a peplum’d dress from Lucian Matis Fall 2012 while Nelly Furtado had two costume changes throughout the night, starting with a gown by Denis Gagnon and later switching into a Holy Tee dress. On the third floor a group of Argo players attracted many eligible ladies—perhaps the popularity of The Bachelor Canada has given the CFL a new social standing?

Another year, another explosive MMVA street party. This year, some of the biggest names in pop (shout out to those Canadian-made!) took to MuchMusic’s famed Toronto headquarters to delight thousands of screaming fans (and millions watching via the tube) with glitter, champagne showers and more. Co-Hosts LMFAO creeped us out in a partially good, partially bad way as this year’s co-hosts, while everyone from Selena Gomez to Kelly Clarkson to Katy Perry (in butterfly wings, no less) took to the stage. MMVA first-timer Carly Rae Jespen ruled the night with her triple award wins for Video of the Year, MuchMusic.com’s Most Watched Video and the fan-driven UR Fave Video of the Year for “Call Me Maybe.” Oh, and Justin Bieber held a baby (his brother, not his spawn) on the red carpet. NBD.

With just three days left until the MuchMusic Video Awards, the Canadian music network dropped a bombshell today: fan favourite Selena Gomez—who was the MMVA host last year—will be returning to this year’s awards show as a presenter.

The 6th annual Luminato festival kicked off with major buzz on Friday night, as word spread through the opening night party that Nelly Furtado had joined K’Naan at his free concert at David Pecaut Square.

The swishy event at 25 York St. had its own surprises. Martha Wainwright jumped onstage for a sultry take on “Stormy Weather,” and spin duties were handled by Koala Kid (who must have ended the evening a few pounds lighter after sweltering in his faux fur koala costume). Yves Saint Laurent hosted the party, offering makeup touch-ups, samples of Opium and the new L’Homme Libre fragrances and the opportunity to write messages on an iPad that were then projected on a wall.

The Toronto International Film Festival opened last night with a decidedly Canadian theme. The gala screening was for Score: A Hockey Musical, so a fully Canuck band of celebs were in attendance–George Strombolopolous, who played a hockey announcer, Nelly Furtado, who yelled from the stands as a streak-haired puck bunny and Walter Gretzky, who played […]

Dean and Dan Caten, Toronto natives, ready-t0-wear designers and Olympic torch runners, also had a hand in last night’s opening ceremonies for the Vancouver Games. The pair designed the looks for all the celeb performers (save Ashley MacIsaac and K.D. Lang). The high point was certainly opera star Measha Brueggergosman, who sang the Olympic hymn […]

Discretely tucked above a Queen Street West shop, Canada’s Red Bull offices held an intimate concert by larger-than-life performers Fritz Helder & The Phantoms. The crowd toasted the weekend and waited for the Toronto outfit to take the stage, taking in designs from Greta Constantine, Jeremy Laing, Nada, Oligarchy, Pink Cobra, Evan Biddell, Label, Franke for Chasse Gardée, Jaime Galindo and Hoi Bo, all of which were to be auctioned off to benefit Fashion Cares and ACT (AIDS Committee of Toronto).
