My Best Dressed at the SAG Awards Is …

January 28, 2019 by WendyB

The red carpet was good at last night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards. How good? Lady Gaga was merely the first runner-up for my prestigious Best Dressed/Where What You Want combo award, rather than the winner. That said, I 100% loved Gaga’s white Christian Dior couture gown.

My Best Dressed at the 2018 Met Gala Is …

May 7, 2018 by WendyB

Damn it! Catholicism is going to force me to write up a storm this week. via GIPHY I confess that I half-hoped the attendees of tonight’s Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum would be flummoxed by the theme of “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.” Then I could get away with writing a…

Emmy Awards Postscript

September 19, 2016 by WendyB

I forgot to include Kerry Washington in last night’s post on the fashion at the Emmys. Embed from Getty Images Her sleek, cut-out dress by Brandon Maxwell — combined with her advanced pregnancy — was definitely a “Wear What You Want” look. I approve!
