21 Photos From Toronto Life’s Best Dressed Party 2016

Date September 12, 2016

Toronto is magical in the summer. But when a heat wave descends upon the city, in early September, as the Toronto International Film Festival begins, The 6ix feels like a sultry island.

Good timing for sister-publication Toronto Life to host its annual Best Dressed event (its “6th,” no less!) at Momofuku, at the corners of bustling University and Richmond. Attendees spread out over the three-storey Shangri-La Hotel location. Upstairs at Daisho, guests sampled wedge and corn salad, pakora sammies, plus spoons of pickled eggplant while drinking Dark and Stormys mixed with Gosling’s Rum. #TheEstéeEdit photo booth made catwalk stars out of anyone who dared to step inside. Even outside on the patio, temperatures peaked in the low 30s.

While there, we spotted several of this year’s Best Dressed individuals: Krystal Koo, Roz Weston and Katherine Holland, Kardinal Offishall, Stella Alexandru, Parambir Keila as well as Judith Maria Bradley.

Also mingling about were St. Joseph Media Chairman Tony Gagliano, Toronto Life publishers past, David Hamilton, and present, Ken Hunt, as well as EIC Sarah Fulford and Stylebook editor (who produces the best dressed list) Maryam Sanati. And at 8 p.m. despite the heat, we could not resist a bowl of ramen noodles before taking off to the next TIFF party.
