There’s nothing Toronto society loves more than looking at a bunch of pictures of themselves. Or so we’re left to assume after the socialite-studded turnout at last night’s Absolut George photo exhibit , a vodka-drenched soirée in celebration of Toronto’s celebrity shutterbug George Pimentel. It’s not often that so many of the city’s fashion plates are gathered under the same roof. See who sizzled and who fizzled in our slide show.

48528 Nugent is one of the original Glitter Girls, and clearly she’s still got it. Tasteful and age appropriate. Today’s more-is-more socialites (ahem, Kelly Barnicke) might want to take note.

48545 And the better-luck-next-time award goes to… Season inappropriate, age inappropriate and just altogether offside.

48523 The edgy designer (responsible for some of Team Canada’s more daring Olympic outfits) skirts the gender issue with, well, you get it.

48525 Ah, the turban. A daring endeavour, but if <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1189922/Turbans-Have-lost-heads-.html">Kate Moss can’t pull it off</a>, we’re pretty sure no one can.

48524 Not bad at all, Mrs. Rogers. The shoes are a little Queen Street for this Forest Hill gal, but overall, an excellent effort. In particular, we’re impressed with her hairstyle, which for once doesn’t require its own invite.

48522 The couple that dresses together stays together. Truthfully, we’re not so much for the Jada and Will matching outfits thing, but these two look so cute together, we’re willing to make an exception.

48521 We’re not loving Stronach’s faux–Cruella De Vil look, but Queen B more than makes up for it with the ultimate accessory: her hot young boyfriend, Harbord Room chef Cory Vitiello.

48519 The gorgeous Greta Constantine gown, the flawless makeup, the trendy-but-not-too-trendy do. The Greta Constantine design assistant was the belle of the ball. Here, she poses with her fairy god-dresser (and GC designer) Kirk Pickersgill, who looks pretty fine himself.

Love it TL! We need a Mr. Blackwell in this town. Matching tuxes are adorable.
