Shopping My Closet for the Hot Emmys Color Combo

September 24, 2019 by WendyB

The hot color combination at the Emmys was pink and red, worn by, among others, Marisa Tomei. Embed from Getty Images People have said that I look like Marisa. What do you think? Obviously, I get Liza Minnelli more often. View this post on Instagram Someone asked me yesterday if I’ve ever been told that…

Actor Billy Porter did it again! After winning my prestigious Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award for the Oscars in February, he was head and shoulders above the rest of the attendees at last night’s Emmys in his sparkling Michael Kors suit and statement Stephen Jones hat.

I’d Give an Emmy to Jessica Chastain’s Game of Thrones

September 22, 2019 by WendyB

The 2019 Emmys just ended with the award for Outstanding Drama Series going to Game of Thrones, reminding me that — before the show’s disappointing final episodes in April — actor/producer Jessica Chastain Instagrammed a video of herself trying to squeeze some pre-finale Game of Thrones spoilers out of her X-Men movie co-star Sophie Turner,…

My Best Dressed at the 2018 Emmys Is …

September 17, 2018 by WendyB

I’m a sucker for a top hat … … and I love a mullet outfit almost as much as I love a mullet hairstyle … … so I appreciated Amy Sherman-Palladino’s look at tonight’s Emmy awards. Embed from Getty Images I also appreciated that the creator of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel made Emmy-award history, winning…

My Best Dressed at the 2017 Emmys Is …

September 18, 2017 by WendyB

I’m disgusted that the 2017 Emmy Awards gave Sean Spicer the opportunity to play all cutesy and “in on the joke” during the broadcast last night. For a time, Spicer was the No. 1 liar for the white-supremacist president who is trying to tear apart our democracy. This freaky eater of gum doesn’t deserve 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! Judith Light still gets the award though. Separately, Fast Company wrote…

My Best Dressed at the 2016 Emmy Awards Is …

September 18, 2016 by WendyB

The television folks at the Emmy Awards don’t always give great red carpet, but tonight’s 2016 event impressed me. First of all, Kristen Bell’s Zuhair Murad was one of the most beautiful gowns I’ve seen in a long time. Embed from Getty Images I would wear that in a hot second! Like Bell, Sarah Paulson…

10 Years Ago: MrB at the Emmys

September 18, 2016 by WendyB

The Emmys are on tonight. Normally, on Emmy night, I like to show off MrB’s Emmy. But I don’t think I’ve ever shared this photo of MrB holding his Emmy in 2006. Embed from Getty Images MrB received the Lifetime Achievement Award in Business & Financial Reporting from the National Academy of Television Arts &…

My Best Dressed at the Emmys: Woody and Matthew

August 25, 2014 by WendyB

Awards-show fashion has been all about the men this year. Once again, my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want award goes to the dudes. My Emmy favorites were Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, stars of HBO’s True Detective, who wore coordinated tuxes in autumnal hues. #454163748 / gettyimages.com Five years ago, people would have made…

My Best Dressed at the Emmys: Ummm …

September 23, 2013 by WendyB

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….
