You’re both wearing Greta Constantine. Plan or coincidence?
SC: Not planned. I was deciding between this and an Andy Thê-Anh until the last minute.
AW: I’m always pretty last minute. I was going between two as well. This isn’t supposed to be a maternity dress, but there was lots of room for the belly.
What’s so special about Greta C?
AW: They make you feel gorgeous, even at nine months pregnant.
Any style tips for the baby bump set?
AW: Keep it simple. Oh, and the BellaBand was definitely my best friend.
Your firm handles a lot of local design talent. Is there an international designer you’d love to work with?
AW: I’m happy working with Canadian talent, helping to build their brands.
SC: I love Nina Ricci. Olivier Theyskens is a genius.
Speaking of genius, Suzanne, your dress seems to be defying gravity. How are you avoiding a Janet-Jackson-at-the-Super-Bowl disaster?
SC: I’m being very cautious when I move.
No double-sided tape?
SC: I couldn’t. You could see it through the material.
“Best Dressed”???? You have to be kidding! Trend or not, both of these dresses are unflattering. While also a socialite, at least Kimberly Newport-Mimran looked smashing in her dress in your last profile. Very tasteful.
This pic belongs in the social column, not the Best Dressed… talk about kissing social butt T.O. Life. Perhaps you should re-name this feature to “Socialite Best Dressed”.
Congratulations to Alexandra on her pregnancy, but put on a b.r.a. honey, you’re a grown-up now…. and if you’re already wearing one, put on another one.
May 6, 2009 at 10:25 am | by Meow MeowI have to agree with Meow Meow… this is a bit of a stretch for a ‘best dressed’. I find both gowns a bit plain and even frumpy. But, everything is relative… I guess it was a slow night in Toronto.
May 6, 2009 at 11:11 am | by IRI agree that this should not be entitled Best Dressed if you consider those high end beautiful long dress looks great in them. It does not do justice to their beauty and vice versa.
May 6, 2009 at 12:29 pm | by helenI think no matter how confortable you are not wearing a bra or that the dress calls for a no bra…if the girls were not attractive to look at and looks like a pathetic try to be confident…YOU ONLY SHOULD TRY IT AT HOME!
Just a thought from a former model myself…
Thanks…
Let’s get some shots of the common folks in the city. We got a whole lot of ‘best dressed’ people out there! These 2 ladies most definitely do not deserve this. They are ‘adequately dressed’ at BEST.
May 6, 2009 at 12:48 pm | by JLThese are great dresses, but that certainly doesn’t qualify these ladies as “best dressed”. How about a stylist? The jewelery on both is all wrong, and how about some attention to hair and makeup on Alexandra? She looks like a college student who threw her hair back so she could make it to class on time.
Love Greta Constantine,not loving how these two are wearing it.
May 6, 2009 at 1:25 pm | by heatherThe blue dress is unflattering and the teal dress is … well it’s teal!
May 6, 2009 at 2:41 pm | by JohnI have to agree – those are not nice looking in the least!
May 6, 2009 at 6:09 pm | by SarahThey look like sloppy suburban moms who think wearing a maxi dress with flip flops is fashion. Best dressed? FALSE.
May 6, 2009 at 10:51 pm | by RWhat a load of crap…Who gives a shit about trust fund babies while people are losing their jobs….Poor taste Toronto Life, poor taste.

The only saving grace for articles of such low caliber is reading all of your comments.
Thank you fellow T-dotonians for reminding me that there are still sane people out there (all of which have obviously been fired from Toronto Life during these hard times).

May 7, 2009 at 12:16 pm | by michiI hate to say it, but these teal and blue girls did it better:

(note to self: show up to parties with friend in hue complenting colour)
May 7, 2009 at 2:50 pm | by Jesthere is no need to be this bitchy!
May 8, 2009 at 2:19 pm | by shave any of you ever been preggers?
and for the trust fund comment sounds to me that some people need to get a grip on there own lives before commenting on other people!
and that is coming from someone who is NOT a trust fund Baby!
get over yourselves!
You can’t buy good taste (see photo).
May 8, 2009 at 6:38 pm | by Mr. AlwaysRightWhoa. Best Dressed? More like “Best Use of the sitting room curtains”. Greta Constantine has a lot to answer for here.
