TIFF 2011 Roundup: Hugh Dancy, Bill Nighy and Ryan Gosling are among TIFF’s best dressed

The men of TIFF didn’t take many risks, since most of our photos are of celebrities wearing black suits with white shirts and no ties (and on occasion, foregoing a button up shirt for a v-neck t-shirt, which should be stopped), but we managed to find some highlights: Hugh Dancy sporting a nicely fitted single-button tweed jacket and an open collar (which was the trend for nearly every male in attendance at TIFF this year) at the Vanity Fair party, Bill Nighy wearing bold glasses and a very trim navy suit at the Page Eight premiere, and Ryan Gosling in a tailored tan suit with contrasting studded footwear (which, frankly, we could do without) at The Ides of March premiere. Which gentleman takes top honours at this year’s TIFF?

“We want the king, we want the king!”

At first we couldn’t decipher what the overzealous crowd was chanting, but as we drew closer to the masses outside the Windsor Arms, it became clear that it was not the king they wanted but the Cage. Nicolas, that is. The mob was gaining momentum and force, so when British actor Bill Nighy exited the hotel, an emergency PR situation dominoed: fans surged forward, magazines slapped magazines at Nighy and women on walkie-talkies were frantically trying to locate his driver. Cops had to buffer the mania so Nighy could escape. As he wandered in the direction of Theatre Books, all we could hear him say was “Where the fuck? What the fuck? Fuck!” An intense female wrangler yelled, “Bill—back inside!” She shouted louder, “Bill! Inside, let’s go!” ushering him in haste back in the embrace of the Windsor Arms. By the urgency in her tone, we thought the fans were about ready to rip his flesh off, like a scene from Shaun of the Dead.
