Madonna was the picture of elegance as she walked the red carpet at last night’s gala presentation of W.E. , a film she wrote and directed. Joining her were the movie’s stars Andrea Riseborough and Abbie Cornish and, randomly, socialite Suzanne Rogers . Absent, however, were the flick’s James D’Arcy and Oscar Isaac , who chose to attend the Ten Year premiere instead. We have to admit we were disappointed in the lack of man candy on display and surprised, frankly, that Isaac skipped the premiere (one should know never to disappoint Madge like that). Either way, the three ladies (Madonna, Riseborough and Cornish) looked ravishing in their red carpet wear. As for the treatment of the TIFF volunteers on hand, that’s another story entirely. See our photo gallery, after the jump.

Madonna looked as good as money could buy on the red carpet. She does look strained and haggard a bit, but she isn’t a spring chicken. She also is not royalty as much as she fantasizes and, like royalty passing, has the ‘below stairs’ people avert their gaze or hop into closets. She is a working class girl from Michigan, gone to England and putting on airs and a phony upper crust accent. It is a sad and pathetic thing to watch this person abandon her working class roots and act like Euro trash.
Mishiki Vaccaro – you should really check your facts as a ‘reporter’. Rogers was an invited guest of Madonna’s not a “random’ guest as you state. Check your facts Toronto Life.
Toronto Life’s repoting seems to be consistantly more negative with each article. Being nasty hardly makes for a great reporter.. snap out of it TL, enough with the hating, please, its really enough….
Perhaps we’re not interested in your bitter reporters personal one sided view!
