Best Dressed/Wear What You Want Award

About That Oscars Jewelry …

March 4, 2019 by WendyB

This is my last post on this year’s Oscars, or at least I hope so. I didn’t mean to make this into a series that goes on too long, like The Walking Dead. In case you missed my other Academy Awards-related posts, here they are: Pre-Oscar video: Celebrities, free outfits, and complaints. My Best Dressed/Wear…

Olivia Colman’s Dress; Week in Review

March 3, 2019 by WendyB

Before I get to the blog week in review, I need to share Elizabeth Paton’s New York Times story about how Best Actress winner Olivia Colman got her custom-made Prada gown for the ceremony — even though she is 45 and not a size zero. This story answers nearly all of the questions I asked…

Never Is the Next New Thing™: Oscar’s Pink Floof

February 25, 2019 by WendyB

Many fashion critics — both professional and amateur — spent last night asking, “How?” “Why?” and “Is that a bath sponge?” about the plethora of pink floof at the Oscars. But I’m confident that you, my readers, merely nodded wisely, because you already knew that pink floof has been building up to this moment since…

My Best Dressed at the 2019 Oscars Is …

February 25, 2019 by WendyB

Why are celebrities making things so easy for me lately? At the Grammys earlier this month, it was instantly obvious that Cardi B was the winner of my prestigious Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award. At least she took a while to make her appearance, though! At last night’s Oscars, one of the first…

“Killing Eve” Slays Fashion With Floof

February 23, 2019 by WendyB

While writing about Killing Eve yesterday, I forgot to mention the show’s standout fashion moment. Throughout the first season, the costuming is consistently A+, with clothes often playing a significant role in the plot (a recognizable green scarf, the unexpected gift of a dress). But the scene where Russian assassin Villanelle is enduring a psychological…

2019 Grammys: The Best of the Rest

February 12, 2019 by WendyB

At the end of my post about Cardi B’s stellar Best Dressed/Wear What You Want style at Sunday’s Grammys, I promised that my next post would be about the best of the rest. Then my mind momentarily went blank, because who could compare to Cardi? Once I took a deep breath, I remembered that there…

My Best Dressed at the 2019 Grammys Is …

February 11, 2019 by WendyB

Do I even need to write this post? Surely, you already know that my beloved Cardi B, who hit the red carpet in fall/winter 1995 couture Mugler, is the winner of my prestigious Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award for the 2019 Grammys. Embed from Getty Images While that was her most jaw-dropping vintage…

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. (Are those tiny, lacy shorts peeking out from the…

2019 Golden Globes: The Jewelry Trend to Watch

January 8, 2019 by WendyB

We’ve finally reached the jewelry portion of my Golden Globes coverage. You’d think that as a jewelry designer, I’d start with that, wouldn’t you? The thing is that, as a designer, I’m looking for a “Wear What You Want” jewelry moment with something so daring that I think, “I wish I’d made that.” I want…

2019 Golden Globes: The Best of the Rest

January 7, 2019 by WendyB

So how ’bout them Golden Globes? Lady Gaga — considered a lock for best actress for A Star Is Born — saw the award go to a very surprised Glenn Close for The Wife. Then major awards went to two much-criticized and controversial movies, The Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody. In other words, it was…
