TIFF 2017: How to Get Boozy Like the Stars
FASHION Reviews Everything TIFF
The Toronto International Film Festival is mostly about cinema (obviously). But TIFF isn’t only about films. There are parties to attend, stars to spot on the street, and brand activations everywhere. It’s high time for all aspects of TIFF to get the same critical attention as the films.
Welcome to FASHION Reviews Everything TIFF-related. While this might not be an entirely comprehensive appraisal—it’s as impossible to be at every party as it is to see every film— if we attend anything linked to the Toronto International Film Festival in anyway, we’ll review it here.
After a long week at the office, nothing tastes sweeter than a cold, frosty drink. Save for, perhaps, a free drink. Served in the proximity of Idris Elba. You know what, that sounds pretty dreamy (and far superior to my typical Friday 5 o’clock glass of $10 wine in bed.)
And it was! It really was a dream! At last night’s post-premiere party for Molly’s Game, Grey Goose served up great drinks (and stellar celeb spotting) to an exclusive guest list of industry insiders. The screening must have been a success, because everyone — Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba, Amy Pascal, Mark Gordon and Aaron Sorkin — seemed to be in good spirits as they arrived at The Citizen. I can’t imagine being sad, looking that beautiful and being that talented.
The intimate event was followed by Entertainment One’s annual late night after-party. Which was, one might say, less than intimate. There was a 500-person guest list, a great DJ (Ryan Playground), semi-edible sliders, and girls walking around with old school concession trays, filled with pink donuts, cupcakes, and popcorn. Can’t complain.
And most importantly, the film festival inspired drink menu from both Grey Goose sponsored parties was a 10/10. Because I’m a professional, I tried everyone. Their selection of bespoke cocktails, each created by a talented Toronto bartenders, taste like being on the A-List. But if you prefer to enjoy your movies a-la-Netflix—or you couldn’t score an invite to a hush, hush Grey Goose TIFF event —here’s how to enjoy the taste of Hollywood’s elite at home.
