If last night’s cocktail party at The Room in Toronto was all about the Mugler woman, the party’s many attendees showed just how diverse that woman can be. At one end of the spectrum was the usual mix of the city’s most fashionable ladies: Model Yasmin Warsame in exaggerated shoulders and a floor-length skirt, the Bay’s Sarah Kosloff in a velvet and shimmering silver vintage duo (the whole outfit bought for a cool $45), and our own Bernadette Morra in a black metallic Herman-Sellers-Gough jacket with a platinum-tipped fox collar. At the other, two transgendered attendees respectively in lace and coned leather, looking every bit Mother Monster as Gaga herself.

Guests of honour and Mugler co-designers Nicola Formichetti and Sebastien Peigné flitted between groups, talking, of course, about all things Gaga as well as insights from Formichetti’s past visits to Toronto (he likes it here, breath easy). Their real concern of the night? Where to dance post-party. May we suggest Wicked?
