So much happened at Tuesday’s International Press Freedom Awards Dinner for the Committee to Protect Journalists, that it has taken me three posts to cover it. My first post was about the vintage gown I wore. The second post was about CPJ’s mission and the dinner’s awardees. Now it’s back to the lighthearted stuff: party…

Pondering the Patrick Kelly Leopard Dress, Again
Y’all know that I love to wear my vintage Patrick Kelly leopard gown for a big event on an annual basis. I got the dress on eBay in April 2008 and opened the package just as I was getting dressed for a Tribeca Film Festival party. Before I put on the Ossie Clark dress I…
What Wendy Wore: New Year’s Eve Photobombing
I hope you all had a good time ringing in the new year. I had my traditional New Year’s/belated birthday celebration at Balthazar (check out a decade of New Year’s fashions here). I finally wore the Zang Toi dress that I first ogled in Zang’s September 2009 show. It’s a spring dress so I added…
What Zang Toi Wore: WendyB’s Dragon Cufflinks
My designing friend Zang Toi was honored by a local chapter of the Organization of Chinese Americans on Saturday. When he first found out he was going to receive OCA’s Dynamic Achiever award, he set about trying to organize his friends to attend the awards dinner in Tarrytown, N.Y. But getting 30 or more Manhattanites…
Outfit Post: Malaysians Bring the Par-Tay
Warning: If Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx and the prime minister of Malaysia are dancing on stage together, move aside quickly. Ladies in pink head scarves will cut a bitch who gets in the way of their picture-taking. I learned this the hard way on Friday at a dinner at The St. Regis hotel in honor…
The Post Without Any Fireman Photos
It’s my gorgeous sister Terri Berry’s birthday today! I was recently going through some photos from my wedding in July 2001 and would like to share this one of the Berry clowning around in front of me, our parents and the about-to-be-MrB. She had that navy gown already and had only worn it once before,…
Fresh Air Fund Flashback
Good grief! June flew by — or floated by, given the amount of rain we’ve had in New York — and I never got around to posting the photos from the Fresh Air Fund party that MrB and I went to on June 4 with eight gorgeous friends: Scott, Isabelle, Zang, Melissa, Alix, Jen, Cheryl…
East Coast Ass Flowers
The Metropolitan Museum of Art held its 2009 Corporate Benefit on Wednesday night. The honorees were Michael J. Kowalksi, chairman and chief executive of some non-WendyB jewelry place, and my dear friend, Ambassador Carl Spielvogel. (Carl is married to the gorgeous Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel, previously mentioned here.) I wore the beautiful Zang Toi gown that I…
Zang in Bloom
My talented and charitable designer friend Zang Toi won the “Most Beautiful Headdress” award at Tulips & Pansies Headdress the Affair, the event I mentioned here. For the event, which raises money for Village Care of New York, fashion designers and florists team up to produce spectacular head pieces. Zang worked with Golf Srithamrong of…
Vanity Fair
I wore the beautiful Zang Toi gown from my last post to Graydon Carter’s fabulous Vanity Fair Oscar party. Here are a few more photos. Front of the gown. Some of my jewels. The flowers on the backless back of the dress. Oh, and ALL the stars came out for Graydon’s party. We saw Jennifer…
