On the Town: Pre-Oscar Party in Los Angeles

February 27, 2011 by WendyB

MrB and I are on a whirlwind trip to Los Angeles. Last night, we went to The Weinstein Co. pre-Oscar party, where we discreetly ogled the dashing actor Colin Firth, who is sure to win an Oscar for his work in The King’s Speech.

I continued my non-wardrobe-remixing tradition by wearing nearly the exact same ensemble I wore to the Independent Fashion Bloggers Evolving Influence Conference two weeks ago. What can I say? MrB loves the “VIP” dress, and I aim to please.

What Wendy Wore
Dress: Vintage Moschino Couture from KatyKane.com (2011)
Tights: Fogal
Shoes: Prada (2010)
Ring: My own onyx skull design
Unseen Earrings: My own Hathor design, carnelian side out
Lipstick: What else? Lasting Lust by MAC
Makeup: By the wonderful Stephanie Daniel

Harvey Weinstein himself exclaimed, “How do you walk in those shoes?” as I was coming down a staircase while he was coming up. “I do many things well,” I assured him, pretending to clasp his hand warmly while secretly holding onto him for dear life.

In this shot, the careful observer might note that I look slightly different than I did in my last outing in this dress.

Ahem! That, my friends, is thanks to the Fashion Forms U bra, a scary-looking but highly recommended foundation garment.

MrB also wore something new, but in his case, it was a Kiton tie. Look how nicely it matches the floral arrangements in our hotel.

Gotta love a guy who complements the centerpieces.

    Those ARE some pretty sky high shoes there, missy. I bet you had a great view from on those, of people’s bald spots and down the odd cleavage. 🙂 You look very unique as always. I realize this sounds like a roundabout way of saying “Not digging your outfit” but on the contrary, I meant it in a good way!

    You look wonderful as per usual. I bought a similar bra once but returned it due to the fact that I felt like I was wearing an instrument of torture. Maybe yours is more comfy? Your boobs look awesome!

    I love love love this outfit!! And MrB. looks fantastic!! Did he plan for his tie to match the flowers? Hehe. When you gripped onto Harvey, did you dazzle your rings in his face? I hope so!

    Oh, how exciting! You had me at ‘Colin Firth’ and ‘U bra’. Great outfit (and cleavage) and I’m loving the shoes. I’m fascinated by the tie + centerpiece match. Almost a shame you can’t carry the flowers around with you!

    You gotta love centerpieces that complement the GUY!

    You’re both gorge, as usual.

    That VIP dress is very clever (and gorgeous on you). Oh, and you were right about the lovely Mr Firth (of Forth to us Edinburghers – sorry, Scottish joke!). xx
