February 25, 2019 by WendyB

Why are celebrities making things so easy for me lately? At the Grammys earlier this month, it was instantly obvious that Cardi B was the winner of my prestigious Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award.

2019 Grammys: The Best of the Rest

February 12, 2019 by WendyB

At the end of my post about Cardi B’s stellar Best Dressed/Wear What You Want style at Sunday’s Grammys, I promised that my next post would be about the best of the rest. Then my mind momentarily went blank, because who could compare to Cardi? Once I took a deep breath, I remembered that there…

My Best Dressed at the SAG Awards Is …

January 28, 2019 by WendyB

The red carpet was good at last night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards. How good? Lady Gaga was merely the first runner-up for my prestigious Best Dressed/Where What You Want combo award, rather than the winner. That said, I 100% loved Gaga’s white Christian Dior couture gown. (Are those tiny, lacy shorts peeking out from the…

2019 Golden Globes: The Best of the Rest

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.

December 27, 2018 by WendyB

Does anyone even know what day of the week it is? The week between Christmas and New Year’s is like a time warp, except I also don’t know who, what, or where I am. If you too are staring vaguely in the direction of a screen, you might as well take this time to catch…

August 20, 2018 by WendyB

The MTV Video Music Awards have always attracted envelope-pushing fashion, starting with the first VMAs in 1984, when Madonna scandalized everyone’s parents with her “Boy Toy” belt and lacy bustier.
