Academy Award-nominated Actress Naomi Watts is in Toronto today for her latest venture, STRIPES BEAUTY. The pro-aging product line geared to wellness and beauty for women approaching menopause, is thoughtful and innovative, including creams, masks, oils and serums. It was just announced earlier this month the collection will be sold at The Bay in Canada, coincidentally or not, keeping in-line with the giant’s stripe motif in their branding. Lines of best fit!

We love Watts for her outstanding work in films and television like 21 Grams, Mulholland Drive, FEUD Capote vs. The Swans and The Impossible. And if she’s that’s believable on-screen, women should believe that Stripes Beauty are the real deal as well!

Watts will appear at The Bay Queen Street at 4 PM today, chatting with Tracy Moore about STRIPES BEAUTY, her life and career and the conversation is open to the public on the main floor. Always so lovely and gracious, the British-Australian star did the rounds earlier today, stopping to meet fans after an appearance at BT!

She stars next in EMMANUELLE and reunites with her St. Vincent Co-Star Bill Murray in THE FRIEND.

Toronto went Mariah Carazzzyy tonight as a portion of Queen Street was shut down to celebrate the unveiling of both Hudson’s Bay and Saks Fifth Avenue’s Holiday Windows. Here for a quick in-and-out performance was a newly-single Mariah Carey, international megastar and diva incomparable. She performed a festive two-song set for the eager crowd which queued several hours, piling from the two stores’ joint entrance to Eaton Centre, to be a part of the rare occasion.

Performing right before 8:00 PM, Carey delivered a rendition of Here Comes Santa Claus and also cheerful perennial holiday classic All I Want for Christmas is You on a red and green LED-lit stage. The performance was capped-off with fireworks and confetti before the pumped-up crowd were encouraged by Carey (paid a reported $1 million for the visit) to do some shopping! Both stores extended their hours till 11 PM for the occasion with treats and activations set up for the night.

Carey did a bit of shopping in a private guided tour earlier in the day as photographers snapped her browsing about. For her performance, she wore a satin gown in a festive red with a splash of her fave, pink.

It all began 32 years ago and a Lemonade Stand in Memphis. Best Friends Justin Timberlake and Trace Ayala would begin a Business Partnership which would go on to last and develop into a Fashion Empire. William Rast, was inspired by the Duo’s Grandfathers, it being an amalgamation of their names.

Timberlake who is playing Rogers Centre tomorrow night with Jay-Z, took some time out of his busy schedule to introduce the Fashion Line along with Ayala before a packed house of Fans at The Bay – Queen Street today, 45 minutes later than scheduled. “This is the hottest place in the World!”, says the Pop Megastar/Actor. “I was expecting Toronto to be cold in July!”.

William Rast gets its introduction to Canadians at several The Bay stores across Canada this Fall with over 80 Men’s and Women’s Pieces available.  Despite its roots being in Denim, the Line has expanded to dressy-casual looks. Entering and exiting via a Loading Dock, Timberlake was inaccessible to Fans and Autograph Seekers as traffic was stopped on Richmond Street for seven minutes while awaiting their drive out the Retailer’s Parkade.

See a Clip of Ayala, Timberlake and CTV‘s Traci Melchor chatting at the Event:

Founded in 2006 by Megastar Justin Timberlake and his Best Friend Trace Ayala, Fashion Label William Rast is set to debut at The Bay in Toronto and the Duo are set to ring-in the occasion with an appearance at the Queen Street location on Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 4:00 PM.  The Line collaborated in late 2010 with Discount Retailer Target in the U.S. for an exclusive Collection.

The Store Tweeted earlier this evening about the Appearance and although we’re unsure if it’s an Autograph Signing or simply an appearance, Timberlake appears to have a gap in his schedule that day as he co-headlines with Jay-Z on their The Legends of Summer Tour with a Show  at Rogers Centre the following night, giving him an opportunity to promote the Line.  Furthermore, this is an ultra-rare chance for Toronto Fans to see Timberlake up-close!

More details to come…
