My Best Dressed at the 2020 Golden Globes Is …

January 6, 2020 by WendyB

A confession: The title of this post is misleading, because I am not interested in what most people consider “best dressed” at a celebrity-heavy event such as last night’s Golden Globes. Years ago, I decided the world needed a Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award, which I bestow upon an attendee who dares to…

“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 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…

My Best Dressed at the 2019 Golden Globes Is …

January 6, 2019 by WendyB

My extremely prestigious Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award demands a certain je ne sais quoi in addition to fashion flair. As I’ve written before, a look doesn’t have to be “beautiful,” or “flattering,” or in any way acceptable to the vast majority of people to win my approval. “Eye-catching” is more important to…

Yesterday, I showed you the two outfits I would have chosen between if I’d had gone to the Golden Globes last Sunday. Here’s a closer look at the jewelry I would have worn with either outfit — all my own designs, of course. (I had to raid the vault for this little photo shoot!) From…

Wednesday’s Video: The Golden Globes and Your Vote

January 10, 2018 by WendyB

I think I should be invited to all major red-carpet events just to prove that I can shop my closet for every occasion! Like on Sunday, when I was watching the Golden Globes, I thought of two outfits immediately. The dress code called for black, and I’ve been in a pantsuit kind of mood, so…

Bring out the flames emoji, because the fashion at tonight’s Golden Globes was on fire! Seriously, these are the best-dressed awards-show attendees that I’ve seen in years.
