Canada's 'Fashion Santa' brings dapper cheer and charity

Being Santa is not just reserved for jolly men in red suits with pronounced bellies - now, a "Fashion Santa" is bringing sartorial cheer to Christmas.

 The stylish Santa is 51-year-old Toronto model Paul Mason, who is appearing at the city's Yorkdale Mall throughout the holiday season.

Every "selfie" taken with Mr Mason will raise funds for the Hospital for Sick Children, a Canadian charity.

 

 

"His crisp white beard, perfectly polished outfits and undeniable charm make him one of our favourite things about the season," the mall writes of "Fashion Santa" on its website. "While you can't add him to your Christmas list this season, he is always up for a selfie!"

For each picture with the hashtag YorkdaleFashionSanta, the mall will donate $1 to the foundation, up to $10,000 (£4,800) total.

According to the hashtag on Twitter, people are enjoying taking photos with "Fashion Santa", calling him "hot" and a "silver fox".

Well it is party season! Braless Kristen Stewart sparkles at the Chanel fashion show in a crystal-encrusted jacket and leather trousers

Kristen Stewart cast aside her typically tomboy garbs on Tuesday night and amped up the glamour.

Showing her support for the fashion brand that made her their muse, the brunette sparkled as she arrived at Chanel's annual Metiers d'Art Fashion Show at the Cinecitta in Rome, Italy.

The 25-year-old stepped out of the shadows in a crystal-encrusted jacket, under which she daringly went braless, and added a bold pair of trousers to the look.

Not only was she drawing attention to herself with dazzling diamanté details, but the Twilight actress revealed a daring portion of her bare chest as the jacket fastened with a simple bow at the navel.

She teased a glimpse at her chest with a lock pendant that hung low and made sure that her striking features were also on show when she scraped her hair back hair.

Kristen's tresses appeared to have grown out over night as she sampled a longer-hair look - a departure from her low-fuss shoulder length style - and wore a long faux ponytail over one shoulder.

Stepping out of the shadows: The characteristically dressed down actress stepped out of the shadows with sparkle

The actress perched on the front row, poised for Karl Lagerfeld's fashion show, and smouldered with her eyes squinted and, characteristically, no smile to speak of.

Kristen crossed her legs in wide-legged leather trousers, revealing a pair of heels from beneath, which were low, classic and elegant.

Snow White & The Huntsman star Kristen has been a Chanel brand ambassador since 2013 and made her debut with 2014's Metier d'art Paris Dallas collection having successfully channeled her skills on the big screen into modelling.

Pose perfect: The brunette makes her return as the face of the 2015/16 collection

This year though, the brunette is turning her talents to portraying Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel herself in a new short film for the fashion house.

Entitled Once And Forever, the short sees Kristen unveil 'the real Coco,' i.e: 'her youth, her lovers, her beauty,' according to head designer Karl.
