PROM V: Noir

PROM V: Noir

On the weekend I attending PROM V: Noir, a fundraiser for the Royal Ontario Museum.

PROM V: Noir

Welcome to the dark side of the ROM with PROM V: NOIR, a thrilling night of dramatic glamour and cinematic fantasy inspired by the ROM’s captivating collection of winged creatures in the newly revamped Bat Cave and the recently opened Life in Crisis: Schad Gallery of Biodiversity.

Hosted by MTV’s Dan Levy and Jessi Cruickshank, hundreds of YPC members and guests will take a sensational step back into vintage Hollywood complete with private eyes and femmes fatales. Experience the melodrama of a dazzling Golden Age film première—with a contemporary twist—as you pose for a mob of flashbulbs on the black carpet, investigate tempting diversions in dark shadows, sip swishy cocktails, and shimmy the night away on a fierce dance floor to the sounds of a live Big Band and stellar Toronto DJs.

There were a few great 40s themed outfits to be seen.  Of course, black ruled the join.  I saw very little colour on Saturday.

I wore Greta Constantine and Dean Davidson to Prom.

There is something about this dress. I don’t normally feel sexy in anything I wear but this wasn’t the case. It was unusual and powerful and totally went to my head.  It makes you do things your normally wouldn’t!
