My Best Dressed at the Oscars: Naomi Watts

February 24, 2013 by WendyB

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…

What Wendy Wore: The Weinstein Company Pre-Oscar Party

February 24, 2013 by WendyB

I’m in Los Angeles for Oscar festivities! I’m not going to the ceremony this time, but that’s okay. I’ve already lurked seductively behind George Clooney on the Oscar red carpet once in my life — who could ask for anything more? Last night was The Weinstein Company’s pre-Oscar part at Soho House. Dorothy Pomerantz, writing…

What Wendy Wore: Watanabe to the Weinstein Party

February 26, 2012 by WendyB

Remember that crazy Junya Watanabe jacket I tried on at Bergdorf Goodman earlier this week? I bought it, of course, and wore it to the Weinstein Company pre-Oscar party in Los Angeles last night. The event was fabulous! Tony Bennett was there and sang “Autumn Leaves” to the Weinstein brothers’ mother. And I spotted Meryl…

At Least There Were No Cement Shoes

March 8, 2010 by WendyB

Gorgeous blogger Stacy of taffetadarlings came over to watch the Oscars with me last night. I wasn’t excited by the fashion. These days, a red carpet isn’t a red carpet for me if Gaga‘s not on it. I know she’s not an actress, but who cares? The producers recognized Michael Jackson in the memorial video…

Oscars Memory: Red Carpet With George Clooney

March 7, 2010 by WendyB

Okay, I wasn’t really WITH George Clooney, but I was pretty close to him. Here’s a photo of George doing his thing on the Oscar red carpet in 2006 while I lurk seductively in the background. My real date was MrB. I wore the same Zang Toi gown to an Obama inaugural party in 2009,…

Anne Hathaway at the Oscars

February 25, 2008 by WendyB

I’m getting a lot of hits from people searching for Anne Hathaway at the Oscars in both 2007 and 2008. Here’s Anne in 2007, sporting a ravishing boob bow. Embed from Getty Images Here she is in 2008, looking lovely but sadly bereft of boob bows. Embed from Getty Images Alas!

Oscars 2008: Best Dress and Jewelry

February 25, 2008 by WendyB

The best outfits on the Oscars were from the archives: Cher’s Bob Mackie extravaganzas and Barbra Streisand’s Arnold Scaasi peekaboo pantsuit. Embed from Getty Images As I’ve said before, I don’t care for the self-appointed fashion police. They persecute anyone who does something a little different, only to cry buckets when people play it safe….
