There was no contest. My Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award for the Screen Actors Guild awards goes to Kerry Washington. Remember, to get this prestigious award, a beautiful outfit doesn’t suffice. Your look has to be eye-catching — even controversial. Pregnant Kerry scored with a Prada crop top and skirt, because a crop…

So ’80s! Single Earrings Catch On at the Golden Globes
Okay, here’s one more Golden Globes-related post because I’m so pleased to see Vogue recognizing the single-earring trend on the red carpet. Emma Watson, Amber Heard and Adèle Exarchopoulos of Blue Is the Warmest Color were all representing. If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know I was a huge fan of…
Celebrate Breaking Bad’s Golden Globes With Heisenberg’s Hat!
I was pleased when Breaking Bad won twice at the Golden Globes last night. The show took the Globe for Best Television Series – Drama, and its star, Bryan Cranston, won Best Actor in a Television Series – Drama, for his performance as chemistry-teacher-turned-meth-kingpin Walter White. (I thought Aaron Paul should have won for supporting…
My Best Dressed at the Golden Globes: Emma Watson
In 2012, I invented my Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award and bestowed it upon Piper Perabo and her sheer ballgown at the Golden Globes. You can’t just wear a pretty dress to win this prestigious award! Your look has to be interesting too. Being controversial is a big plus. I enjoy a red-carpet…
Fashion Repeats Itself: Polka Dots and Flowers
Katy Perry wore a polka-dot-and-floral strapless gown on the red carpet at the American Music Awards. I got all excited, hoping she was wearing a 1980s Patrick Kelly … perhaps a ballgown version of the vintage dress currently available at Shrimpton Couture. Nope! Katy’s gown is actually from Oscar de la Renta’s Spring 2014 collection….
My Best Dressed at the Emmys: Ummm …
I didn’t watch last night’s Emmys live, because I was at a concert. I sure didn’t miss anything fashion-wise. I thought last year’s Emmys were uninspiring from a style perspective, but this year was even worse. There was exactly one gown that I would want to wear myself: Downton Abbey actress Michelle Dockery’s red-and-burgundy Prada….
The Unofficial Twitter Policy. And Miley Cyrus.
I came across this description of social-media attitudes on MetaFilter recently, and I thought it was high!larious! “OTHER PEOPLE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ENJOY THINGS THAT I DO NOT ENJOY.” That line sums up a vast number of conversations on Twitter. I’m always amazed that people have the time and energy to aggressively tell strangers…
MTV VMA Flashback: Gifts From 2002 and 2003
I wish I were going to MTV’s Video Music Awards tonight! But I can’t complain (too much) because I went from 1999 through 2003. That’s a pretty good run, and those were some good shows. I was there when Diana Ross gave Lil Kim’s bare boob a jiggle; drag queens paid tribute to Madonna; Eminem…
What Wendy Wore: Zang Toi to Vanity Fair Oscar Party
I was super-excited to go to the Vanity Fair Oscar party in Los Angeles last night. This event is a major thrill for me … but that doesn’t always mean I get a new dress for the occasion. I actually enjoy wearing the same dress to events that are just a few months apart, especially…
My Best Dressed at the Oscars: Naomi Watts
I saw lots of very lovely, appropriate dresses on the Oscar red carpet tonight. (I’ll include Anne Hathaway, whose “nipples” are actually — I think — darts in her Prada dress.) Like the Golden Globes, there was nothing crazy enough to warrant one of my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo awards; Helena Bonham…
