Now that TIFF is in full swing, you may be wondering how celebrities get ready for such events! From award shows, premieres, press, movies, and so much more, celebs seem to always be on camera or in front of a crowd. Although their natural beauty is a large factor, there are also some other aspects at play when it comes to celebs getting camera-ready for a big event such as TIFF – including an array of beauty treatments!
But why should only the famous enjoy the luxury of getting a treatment to make them look and feel their best? Us normal folk deserve a celeb-worthy beauty service every once in a while, too! Whether you have an upcoming wedding, event, or simply just want to treat yourself – we’ve rounded up some of the best celeb-worthy beauty treatments to try in the city.
Microneedling is known to be a popular beauty treatment amongst celebs to keep their skin in its best possible condition. The service refines the skin’s texture and overall appearance by creating micro-injuries, encouraging collagen and elastin production. Which results in the treatment of fine lines, acne scars, and skin elasticity – to name a few! Tight Clinic, the well-known influencer and celebrity-approved clinic located right here in Toronto, offers Microneedling with SkinPen® in order to provide a minimally invasive, skin-regenerating treatment with little to no downtime.
It’s been said that celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Hailey Bieber, and Kim Kardashian turn to lymphatic drainage massages before events and big photoshoots, making their bodies look extra snatched. Tight Clinic offers a Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage that works to open lymph nodes and push water weight, toxins, and bloat out of the body, resulting in a contoured look! This service is especially great to have done a few days before a big event, like a wedding, if you want to look extra “tight.”
If you’re looking for a facial with no downtime to ensure you’re glowing for your next event (or on any regular day), Formula Fig’s Hydrate + Glow facial is the perfect option. It uses gentle microdermabrasion (a form of advanced exfoliation), to stimulate the skin, remove dead skin cells, and create an overall more radiant look and feel. You can get this treatment and walk out looking instantly refreshed and camera-ready!
If you’ve ever paid attention to pretty much any celebrity’s smile, it’s pretty obvious that teeth whitening is likely in a lot of their beauty routines. This is one you can maintain at home with a product such as Crest White Strips, however, if you’re looking to really enhance the whiteness of your teeth – and fast, getting a professional to whiten your teeth is the way to go. Visit Schulz Beauty & Body to make your teeth visibly whiter in just one visit, without having to pay dentist-office pricing.
Many celebrities have gone on the record sharing that they’ve done laser hair removal, including the Kardashian-Jenners! And is it just us, or are a lot of celebrities virtually hairless on their bodies? Laser Hair Removal is the most permanent way to get rid of unwanted hair, and with the busy schedules a lot of these individuals have, who has time to wax or shave? Waxon offers laser hair removal on any and every body part you can think of. Note that for lasting results, you’ll need about 6 to 8 sessions.
Getting a lash lift & tint is one of the more affordable celeb-worthy beauty treatments out there. And as simple as it is, it can do wonders! There are a ton of different spots in Toronto to get this service done, including at Flirty Flutters Lash & Brow. Lash lifts give the lashes a perfect curl, allowing them to appear more voluminous and long. A tint darkens the colour of your lashes, making them appear more defined and noticeable. They typically last around 4 weeks and are super low maintenance.
Apparently, Priyanka Chopra Jonas gives credit to chemical peels contributing to her radiant and even skin! Margot Robbie and Megan Fox are also celebs said to enjoy the service. Chemical peels use specific chemical ingredients to peel back the skin’s top layer to reveal a healthy and glowing complexion. My Beauty Doctor, located in Toronto, offers a variety of peels for various skin types, tones, and conditions to help provide the best results for each individual.
It’s no secret that celebrities love a spray tan before hitting the red carpet. Even non-celebs are accustomed to getting a spray tan before a wedding, vacation, or other special occasion. They are pretty affordable, take little time, and provide dramatic results, providing an all-over body glow minus the sun damage. There are various spots throughout Toronto where you can get a great spray tan, with Beloved Spray Tan in Yorkville being a fan favourite.
Dry manicures, otherwise known as Russian manicures, are becoming increasingly popular, especially for moments when you want your nails to look their absolute freshest. Essentially, this manicure style has a heavy focus on cuticle work and provides an overlay of gel on the natural nail. Think “your nails but better.”

Lights, camera, action! One of the city’s most anticipated events of the year, The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is here. If you’re hoping to immerse yourself in the action and possibly rub some shoulders with some celebs, you’re in luck. The city will be full of all of your fave actors and actresses!
Located on the 17th floor of the Park Hyatt Toronto – one of the city’s most iconic luxury hotels, Writers Room is a celebrity hotspot during festival season. The hotel’s iconic 17th-floor cocktail lounge, known for unparalleled views of the Toronto skyline, has hosted the likes of Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Olivia Wilde, Charlize Theron, Pierce Brosnan, and Tilda Swinton, among many more during TIFF.
Located just steps away from all the TIFF action, Bisha Hotel has attracted A-list celebrities like Elliot Page, Emma Thompson, Stanley Tucci, Jake Gyllenhaal, Margot Robbie, and more over the years. This year, the hotel will be hosting TIFF even bigger and better than before, with the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Red Carpet and the Deadline Lounge.
This upscale Italian-inspired restaurant and bar in Yorkville is always an excellent spot for people-watching – especially during TIFF. Just steps away from the Hazelton Hotel and the Four Seasons, not to mention it’s home to one of the neighbourhood’s largest private patios – it’s no wonder that Sofia is a go-to spot for celebrities and TIFF events. Fun fact: Sofia hosted the Hustlers premiere party in 2019, with Jennifer Lopez, Keke Palmer, Constance Wu, Lili Reinhart, and Julia Stiles in attendance.
This award-winning restaurant, known for its authentic Eastern Mediterranean flavours, is located just minutes from the TIFF Bell Lightbox, so it’s a go-to spot for TIFF after-parties. Stars spotted here in the past include Matt Damon, Michelle Williams, Gerard Butler, Dakota Johnson, and Jason Segal.
This Italian hotspot on Adelaide is not only a local favourite, but it’s a frequent TIFF after-party spot and has seen the likes of Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams, Liev Schreiber, and Kiernan Shipka grace through the venue in previous years.
Steps away from TIFF Bell Lightbox is the restaurant and rooftop patio of Soluna! Soluna is an Official Hospitality Partner for TIFF, so naturally expect to see some celebrities enjoying a drink or bite to eat while enjoying music from its festival line-up.
Located on the third floor of TIFF Lightbox, Varda is a lounge and café-bar named in honour of the celebrated French filmmaker Agnès Varda. It’s the new downtown destination for high-quality delicious coffee, conversation, sophisticated drinks, and snacks. And during TIFF.- don’t be surprised to see talent sipping and snacking.
This year, 1 Hotel wants everyone to be able to feel like a celebrity, offering an unparalleled blend of luxury, sustainability, and exclusivity – all in one place. From its iconic rooftop bar, Harriets, to its serene Flora Lounge, to its elegant Casa Madera restaurant, there are plenty of spots within the hotel with ample potential for celebrity sightings.

It’s no secret that vintage and resale fashion has been on the rise. More people are embracing secondhand fashion for various reasons, from sustainability to economics to aesthetics. Recently, resale went even more mainstream with the cameo of Vestiaire Collective in the new season of hit Netflix show, Emily in Paris! Mindy, Emily’s best friend, visited a Vestiaire Collective storefront in Paris to sell her Balmain couture blazer dress in order to make funds for her career endeavours.
Since style is a main focal point of the show, highlighting resale fashion, especially in the luxury space, will undoubtedly bring extra attention not only to the featured online retailer Vestiaire Collective – but also to secondhand shopping in its entirety!
In case you weren’t aware of Vestiaire Collective before the brand’s debut in Emily in Paris, it’s a pre-loved luxury and premium fashion hub with more than 35,000 items added every day online. And like Mindy, anyone can sell their authentic designer goods on the site. Emphasis on ‘authentic,’ as authenticity is guaranteed at Vestiaire Collective.
In part of Vestiaire Collective’s collaboration with Emily in Paris, the platform has released a curated collection of designer items inspired by the fashion showcased in the show.

Celebrities have been launching their own brands as far back as we can remember. Perfume, in particular, comes to mind when thinking of OG celeb lines (Paris Hilton’s numerous perfume launches in the early 2000s, for example). Since then, celebrity brands have become somewhat of a trend, with countless stars launching their own labels in every market imaginable.
With the sheer amount of celebrity brands hitting the shelves (some better than others), it can be hard to put trust in them. We’ve all seen, and maybe even fallen victim to, lackluster products from brands endorsed by celebrities, after all! That being said, some celebrity brands are doing it right and using their inevitable upper hand to put out good, even great, products.
Everything Rihanna touches turns to gold, and her cosmetics line, Fenty Beauty, is no exception! After years of partnering with the best of the best in the beauty industry, Rihanna launched Fenty Beauty in 2017. The brand was founded on a mission to provide products that performed across all skin tones and hair textures–mission accomplished! Fenty Beauty has become known for its extensive shade ranges, setting a new (and overdue) standard in the beauty industry.
When Rare Beauty was announced in 2020, we remember people having their doubts. It’s safe to say that since then, the brand has grown to be a cult favourite amongst beauty lovers, providing makeup designed to enhance one’s natural beauty. Selena Gomez, Rare Beauty’s founder, shared, “I think Rare Beauty can be more than a beauty brand—it can make an impact. I want us all to stop comparing ourselves to each other and just start embracing our own uniqueness.”
Kim Kardashian is no stranger to launching brands with her name attached, some of which notably came up short of expectations. So, when she launched the shapewear brand SKIMS, fans seemed to approach with understandable caution. But the label has become a huge success! From shapewear to loungewear to intimates, the products get great reviews, some even reaching viral status.
Any brand with a Kardashian attached to it seems to attract skepticism–Khloe Kardashian’s Good American included! However, this Kardashian tuned into her own experiences to create an authentic-feeling denim and apparel brand that focuses on size inclusivity. The B-Corp-certified brand, Good American, offers sizes 00-32 and showcases each style on 3 models varying in size. Its jeans are designed to make its wearer feel sexier, curvier, and more confident.
Shay Mitchell rose to fame as a Pretty Little Liar, but no lies were told about providing great luggage! “From coffee runs to flights across the world, our team set out to create bags that empower people to make the big moves in their lives (and to appreciate the little things, too).” Shares Shay Mitchell, Founder of BÉIS. BÉIS is known for its durable, functional, and ultra-stylish bags and luggage that can take you anywhere from across the world to the office and everywhere in between.
We’ve never met a Rhode product we didn’t like! Hailey Bieber’s brand, Rhode, offers a line of curated skincare essentials formulated to nourish your skin barrier over time. The line started off small and continues to grow gradually overtime, showing an emphasis on quality over quantity. “My journey towards healthier skin inspired me to develop products that really work, in a way that’s accessible to everyone. Rhode is dedicated to making products based in science and great formulation, simplifying many of the mysteries and complex narratives behind efficacious skincare.” Shared Hailey Bieber, founder of Rhode.
Guest in Residence by Gigi Hadid is a luxury knitwear brand carrying a curated collection of pieces made from 100% cashmere. Although its pieces are pricey, they’re designed to last and become future heirlooms. You can see the thought, care, and quality woven into every piece.
Drew Barrymore partnered with some of the industry’s top designers and engineers to create Beautiful, a kitchenware brand that combines high performance with premium design. The brand’s concept is to provide kitchen appliances and supplies that actually look good sitting on your kitchen counter, and it’s safe to say, that they do–and at an affordable price!

The first Monday in May has come and gone, meaning another Met Gala has commenced. This year’s Met Gala celebrated the Costume Institute’s new exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” spotlighting 250 items from its permanent collection. Some of the pieces showcased are so delicate that they need to be laid down in order to be displayed, for preservation—hence the name “Sleeping Beauties.” The Met Gala dress code was “The Garden of Time“, perfectly complementing the exhibition theme.
Every Met Gala, we watch as celebrities and designers interpret the theme in their own unique way, some more loosely than others. This year, we saw a variety of vintage archive pieces as a nod to the “reawakening fashion” part of the Met theme, as well as an array of floral embellished designs to celebrate the “Garden” aspect of the Gala’s dress code.

TV, and really all streams of media, have such an impactful influence on fashion and style in the ‘real’ world. Some on-screen wardrobe is so good that it’s worth watching solely for the purpose of admiring the fashion. Or is that just us? From unserious sitcoms to critically acclaimed series, there are plenty of fashionable TV shows that grace our screens with the utmost style inspiration or, at the very least, stylish entertainment. Let the next TV show you binge-watch be a fashionable one.
Starting off the list strong with Sex In The City. All of the cast members have their own signature style, Carrie Bradshaw’s arguably being the most recognizable. Even if you haven’t yet watched Sex In The City (what are you waiting for?), you can probably picture an outfit Carrie has worn. And it probably includes a pair of Manolo Blahniks and a variety of textures and patterns. Her character just may have invented chic maximalism!
Friends, although more casual in terms of fashion, still serves as major style inspiration to this day. We can’t forget about “The Rachel” haircut that took salons by storm, after all. The longevity of the style featured throughout the show really speaks to how iconic it was (and is). From vintage denim to mini skirts and dresses, we can always turn to Friends when we need a dose of ’90s fashion inspo.
If you’re a fan of the quiet luxury fashion aesthetic, you’ll love the wardrobe in Succession. Starring the uber-wealthy Roy family, money is no issue when it comes to dressing in this show. From power suits to expertly tailored basics, we’ll be continuing to take style notes while we take in all the drama.
Since it’s a loosely based period piece, you may not exactly be finding fashion inspiration while watching Bridgerton. Still, nonetheless, the exquisite costumes are quite a joy to look at! From voluminous gowns to embellished dresses, you’ll never be bored while watching Bridgerton.
Don’t freak out. We had to include Emily In Paris, as no one can ever seem to stop talking about the controversial fashion worn by Emily on the show! Even if you don’t love her outfits, you have to admit they’re notable. Some have said that Emily’s style is supposed to be somewhat satire, an unrealistic depiction of French style from an American. She also tends to wear a ton of designer for a beginner’s marketing salary.
Since The Crown is based around the royal family, it’s no surprise that the style featured in the show is of royal status. Especially since it’s known to replicate real-life outfits worn by the royals, such as style-icon Princess Diana. While watching the show, you’ll see outfits ranging from business casual to special occasion gowns.
As we’re currently in our #MobWife era, of course, we had to mention the show that was rumoured to start it all, The Sopranos. Both the men and the women in the show have memorable styles adhering to the “Mob aesthetic” that we’ve grown to know and love. From Tony to Carmela to Adriana, we’re obsessed with the on-screen looks.
Ahh, the show that raised so many of us fashion lovers, Gossip Girl. The fashion in Gossip Girl was absolutely iconic and somehow seamlessly appealed to a mass audience. Blair was known for her preppy, put-together style, while Serena was known for her carefree, party-esque looks. And we can’t forget about Jenny Humphrey’s messy, edgy-chic style evolution and Lily Van Der Woodsen Bass Humphrey’s expensive attire.
