It isn’t often Calgary gets a red carpet celebrity event like the private gala hosted by Holt Renfrew this week.  A handful of A-list stars turned up in Calgary to celebrate the opening of the stunning new flagship store.

The red carpet festivities began with arrivals of special guests including Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks, actress Elisha Cuthbert and Dion Phaneuf, Gossip Girl’s Kristen Bell, Glee’s Jessalyn Gilsig, Calgary born model Heather Marks, and pro golf star Stephen Ames. Celebrity DJ Samantha Ronson played a set before Calgary band The Fast Romantics performed live.  Jeremy Piven hopped behind the drums for a spontaneous performance before heading off to the Flames game.
