SARAH FERGUSON, HARVEY WEINSTEIN & MORE ATTEND MARCHESA GALA IN TORONTO


Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York & Mr. Will-W.
Suzanne Rogers, Toronto Fashionista and Wife of Cable Heir Edward, combined two of her greatest loves together for an ultra-exclusive Bash this evening at The Carlu. That is, her desire of Philanthropy and passion for Fashion - specifically Marchesa, which made its official Toronto debut tonight.  Proceeds from the Gala were to benefit the SickKids Hospital Foundation.

Co-founded in 2004 by Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman, who is known more in the public eye as the Wife of Movie Mogul Harvey Weinstein, the Brand is a Red Carpet favourite among Actresses.  Both Craig and Chapman arrived in Toronto for the festivities, doing Press out of their Yorkville Hotel earlier in the day before Rehearsals for the Show.  Accompanying Chapman of course was Weinstein, who is said to have taken care of Baby Daughter, India Pearl while Mommy was hard at work. 

Needless to say, guests of the Marchesa Gala this evening had nothing but rave reviews, with many taking to Twitter to express their excitement.

QUEEN LATIFAH HOSTS P&G BEAUTY & GROOMING AWARDS 2010 IN TORONTO (PICS & VIDEO)


Queen Latifah & Mr. Will-W.
All hail The Queen!  The Queen Latifah flew in from Los Angeles earlier today to host the P&G Beauty & Grooming Awards 2010, honouring outstanding Editorial and Creative talent in Canada.  The event held at The Carlu, brought together the who's who of Beauty, Fashion, Art and Design together with a panel of Experts choosing 13 winners in total.  

Playing host to an enthusiastic crowd, the Grammy, SAG and Golden Globe Award winner was oh-so-radiant, never without a smile and certainly without a lull.  Being the Face of CoverGirl Makeup, she admitted that her look could never be achieved without a team of Professionals and this evening was a tribute to those who dedicate themselves to the Art of Beauty.

Presenters tonight included handsome Photographer Glen Baxter of Fashion Television, who couldn't help but be a little smitten with Queen Latifah, telling her "It's such an honour to share the stage with you tonight".  Chatting with effervescent Television Personality/Singer Jully Black earlier in the evening, she too expressed nothing but excitement at meeting Queen Latifah earlier in the day during a run-through of the Show.  Canadian Fashion Designer Shawn Hewson told me, "Queen Latifah is Queen Latifah.  She's just got this wall of greatness surrounding her."    

Black, who was a Presenter tonight, brought the house down with her self-admittedly poor French, pronouncing the names of nominees and eventual winner of the Best Beauty of Fashion Blog (French) award with a knowing wink.  Even Queen Latifah had to ask the audience jokingly after, "Are you sure you still need me here?".

Watch the hilarity below:
