Penguin suit? Fuggedaboutit. Mark Wahlberg attended the hyper exclusive InStyle/HFPA party at the Windsor Arms last night, and while many of his Hollywood cohorts sported predictably elegant duds, Marky Mark kept it casual in a Nike T-shirt and jeans. The every-dude duds probably had something to do with Wahlberg’s TIFF agenda: hawking the new Toronto location of his burger chain Wahlburger at the Soho Metropolitan on Wellington.
The queen of the eve was last year’s Oscar season it girl Jessica Chastain, who vamped it up with fans before entering the party. Inside, Little Miss Sunshine (Abigail Breslin) mixed with Little Miss Wild Child (Juliette Lewis) and Keanu Reeves mingled with Game of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke. Other TV-star attendees included Hannibal’s Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen, Boardwalk Empire’s Jack Houston, Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens, Once Upon a Time’s Jennifer Morrison and The Good Wife’s Jess Weixler. Just typing that is making us excited for new TV season—easily the best way to cure those post-TIFF blues.
