Holt Renfrew took their annual gala, always the festival’s most fashionable bash, to new heights last night—the very top of The Burroughes Building, much to the dismay of spike-heeled attendees. No sooner had we reached the top of our social climb, joining Westons and Queen Westers alike, when we heard a dismayed gasp coming from a woman staring at Coco Rocha.

Rocha, co-star of the Holt Renfrew shopping vignettes, which played on a screen during the party, slinking about in a raven, plume-shouldered gown designed by Greta Constantine. Reportedly set to wear a dress from another local designer, it seemed she’d pulled a fast one. So, just as quickly, we found our inner modelizer and chatted up Canada’s super sweetheart to get the scoop.

TIFF.TO: So, unexpected question. What are you wearing? COCO: Greta Constantine, of course! These are my boys. (Gestures to designers Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong, clustered among her halo of admirers.) TIFF.TO: Not Pink Tartan? COCO: Pardon? TIFF.TO: Never mind. Are you excited for your movie debut? COCO: Well, it’s not really a movie. It’s just me and my BFF Behati Prinsloo> fooling around. It’s fun. TIFF.TO: A lot of real movie actresses say they won’t watch themselves on screen. COCO: Why not? TIFF.TO: Oh, who knows? That’s just what serious actresses like to say. COCO: But I can’t be serious! I’m happy to see it, yeah. It’s really fun.
