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 …
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
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 &…
A Contender for Best Dressed of 2016
It’s only September, but I know Lupita Nyong’o is going to be a contender for my 2016 Best Dressed/Wear What You Want award. Embed from Getty Images Lupita wore a custom House of Herrera dress at the Toronto International Film Festival for Saturday’s premiere of her movie Queen of Katwe. The only flaw is her…
Most Improved at 2016 VMAs: “Girl” Squads
I’ve got one more thing to say about Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards. Even though the show itself was dull due to poor programming, at least the right people were recognized. If Beyoncé hadn’t won big after her visual album, Lemonade, we would have all been Kanye West in 2009. The six Moonmen that Beyoncé…
My Best Dressed at the 2016 MTV VMAs Is …
MTV’s Video Music Awards last night let me down in all kinds of ways. First, the show itself. Rihanna received the Video Vanguard award, but dragging her performances throughout the whole program undercut the excitement of her big moment … even though she improved during the evening, thankfully finding her voice by her fourth appearance….
What Wendy Wore: Surprising 2006 VMAs Throwback
The MTV Video Music Awards are tonight, so it’s a good time for this surprising (to me) throwback photo. Here I am in my 2006 VMAs outfit, holding my VMAs Moonman party favor. I came upon this photo earlier this year while I was browsing through 2006 pictures for a different throwback post. I was…
ICYMI: My MTV VMAs Posts From 2007 to 2015
The MTV Video Music Awards are tonight at 9 p.m. ET. You can always count on this event to produce memorable moments, even in worst years. And this shouldn’t be a bad year. As the New York Times reported, music videos matter again! That’s due to YouTube rather than television, of course, but who cares,…
My Best Dressed at the 2016 Hip Hop Honors Is …
VH1 had an annual Hip Hop Honors telecast from 2004 to 2010 to recognize “the luminaries who broke new ground and propelled the [hip hop] genre into the cultural phenomenon it has become.” I’m not sure why the network stopped doing it, or why the show was resurrected tonight, but I approve because the theme…
My Best Dressed at the 2016 Tony Awards Is ….
When I saw Cate Blanchett’s Louis Vuitton dress at last night’s Tony Awards, I thought, “That looks both comfortable and potentially controversial. I would wear it.” Embed from Getty Images Cate hasn’t called me to tell me if the dress was comfortable, but the Vuitton was sufficiently controversial for USA Today, which called it a…
