Oscars Memory: Red Carpet With George Clooney

March 7, 2010 by WendyB

Okay, I wasn’t really WITH George Clooney, but I was pretty close to him. Here’s a photo of George doing his thing on the Oscar red carpet in 2006 while I lurk seductively in the background.

George and WendyB. Source forgotten.

My real date was MrB.

MrB and WendyB in 2006. Photo by Patrick McMullan.

I wore the same Zang Toi gown to an Obama inaugural party in 2009, but I wore my peacock feather shawl with it instead of carrying the peacock feather fan.

From an inaugural party.

Try not to miss me too much tonight, George Clooney!

UPDATED TO ADD: For everyone who is Googling “Why was [Wendy’s boyfriend] George Clooney mad at the Oscars?”…it was clearly because he was missing me.

    You’ve gone to the Oscars?!?! You are seriously the most glamorous and practically famous person I know. Really. (I mean, I know some practically famous Canadians, but it doesn’t seem as thrilling :-))

    If I ever had the opportunity to attend the Oscars red carpet and dress up, I think I would damn near hypventilate. God forbid if I was near someone like George Clooney!

    And I’m really liking the peacock motif– beautiful emerald color!

    You look fabulous, but the best things is that I know someone who was that close to Georgie – GET OUT!!!!

    ooh my anti-spam word is Empress – Why yes I am! LOL!

    George looks like he is really missing you tonight. He would, I’m sure, proud as a peacock to have you by his side at the Oscars.

    You have such exciting stories to share. I love the green dress. Hope George made it through the night without you. 😉

    My antispam word was Olive Oyl which you definitely didn’t look like. Love the Green Gown and I bet George’s date was green with envy.

    I tried to play it cool when around the celebs in NYC. Your man candy Clooney is one dude who could most def make me lose said cool though. Killer gown lady!

    Hi there-what a shame you could not keep Mr Clooney company, good thing for MrB though!!

  26. anjali says

    March 8, 2010 at 12:04 pm

    Wow, that green gown is amazingly stunning on you! That’s probably my favorite thing I’ve seen you wear (out of many fantastic outfits!!).

  27. stacy says

    March 8, 2010 at 12:29 pm

    Wendy, first of all, I love how you totally started the yellow arrow trend!! How did Jay Manuel manage to steal that from you so fast? You should get royalties. Speaking of royalty… you look stunningly gorgeous in these pix. George would be so lucky to have you as his “arm candy.” Oh… and you speak English!!!! Bonus!

    hahhah loved this, love the lurking shot, love the bit on the googling at end of post too!

    i love your dress! such a gorgeous shade of green, and it looks rad with the feathers.

    george and i have talked about you. he says you are a big heartbreaker and that you were embarrassed to stand next to him. shame on you. shame on you!!!

  30. Jill says

    March 8, 2010 at 1:06 pm

    Your such a doll! I think you did the peacock feathers before Nicole Kidman.

    Poor George and what a lucky man Mr. B is!

    Green is your friend too!

  31. Cafe Fashionista says

    March 8, 2010 at 1:35 pm

    Emerald is your color, darling! And I’m loving the way you work the peacock feathers! 🙂

    At least you were at the oscar’s once.How great is that?

  33. lisa says

    March 8, 2010 at 2:56 pm

    You look absolutely beautiful! I don’t blame George for being grumpy about your absence.

  34. PinkBow says

    March 8, 2010 at 4:21 pm

    lucky you 🙂

  35. miss cavendish says

    March 8, 2010 at 4:52 pm

    Missing you, certainly; and his Alec Baldwinesque hair circa Working Girl was misbehaving. Remember the pomade, George!

  36. Susan says

    March 8, 2010 at 4:58 pm

    OMG, you look absolutely stunning!
    have a lovely week, xoxo

    hehe too funny! You look gorgeous, though, I love that dress! Beautiful1

    March 8, 2010 at 5:23 pm

    I love your dress. What I don’t love….they keep posting that picture of George and I had just stepped out of the frame for a minute.

  39. Miss Janey says

    March 8, 2010 at 5:34 pm

    Not only is WendyB gorgeous, she’s showed remarkable restraint. Had Miss J found herself that close to Clooney, he’d have found her tongue down his throat and Miss J would have a lot of ‘splainin’ to do. Mr. J would have understood, maybe not so much Mr. C.

  40. deja pseu says

    March 8, 2010 at 5:35 pm

    That’s one of my favorites among your gorgeous gowns. Those peacock feathers are stunning. George obviously was missing you last night, saw him dab his eyes with a hanky.

  41. savvygal says

    March 8, 2010 at 5:45 pm

    Gorgeous dress, gorgeous gal! : )

  42. Ela says

    Look at you all fabulous {when are you not, LOL}! Love the peacock fan.

  43. indigo says

    You went to the OSCARS? Oh my god! That must have been amazing. You look stunning. I love that you actually dress up all glamerous on a regular basis.

  44. Midtown Girl says

    March 9, 2010 at 12:38 am

    OMG this color looks FANTASTIC on you!! wow.

  45. Lynette says

    March 9, 2010 at 2:20 am

    I can’t think of a single color that wouldn’t look great on you, WendyB … well, except for cement!

  46. Maddy says

    March 9, 2010 at 2:38 pm

    You’re too funny, Wendy! I love you peacock accessories! I have yet to see you in a color that you don’t look phenomenal in!

  47. Jess says

    March 10, 2010 at 1:59 pm

    damn Wendy I’m not sure what I’m more envious of…your proximity to George Clooney, or all your peacock feathered accessories! You look just smashing in green my dear.
