I’m in Los Angeles, thrilled to be away from the 1 degree winter weather at home in New York. Last night, we went to a super-fun Oscar viewing party hosted by movie producer Harvey Weinstein, followed by the Vanity Fair after-party. There’s been a couple of times when I’ve worn a dress to the black-tie…

Year in Review: What Wendy Wore in 2014
Here’s a “What Wendy Wore” outfit for each month of 2014. Click the photos for the original posts. I love vintage clothes, so I wore a Spring 1992 Versace dress to my New Year’s party. I last wore it to ring in the year 2008. A few weeks ago, I discovered this little photo of…
The Week in Review, Plus the Chicken Necklace Pre-Order
Here’s what was on the blog this week: Monday: Trend-spotting WGSN has an eye on my emoji earrings. Wednesday: Wearing orange in Athens. Thursday: My Patrick Kelly leopard-print gown, photographed in five different years. Friday: The legend of Aegeus. Don’t forget that I’m offering a last chance to order one of my sterling silver Chicken…
What Wendy Wore: Next Season’s Earrings … Big Hoops
I’ve been loving the ear jewelry that’s emerged in the past year. There are so many options! But the trend that’s (thankfully) replaced the statement necklace started, as many trends do, quite slowly. Miley Cyrus flaunted her ear cuffs in 2012, when she cut her hair short. But Miley’s style is risky — her short…
Lean
I’m not sipping lean like rapper Lil Wayne or the late Pimp C. I’m not leaning in like Sheryl Sandberg. According to two recent photos, I’m living life on an angle, like the drag queens in La Cage Aux Folles. I’m the one in the leopard dress leaning back in this photo from the Patrick…
The Weeks in Review
The past two weeks have been wild around here! The big news was the announcement that the Columbia Daily Spectator — the undergraduate newspaper of my alma mater, Columbia University — would focus on its website, while reducing its printing schedule from five times a week to once a week. As the chairman of the…
What Wendy Wore: Katie Couric at Columbia Spectator Dinner
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m the chairman of the board of alumni trustees of the Columbia Daily Spectator, Columbia University’s student newspaper. Every February, the Spectator has a big awards dinner. We always have high-profile keynote speakers. Recent ones have included Arianna Huffington (Joan Didion presented an award at that dinner as well); Julius Genachowski,…
Step Aside, Heisenberg Hat! Pharrell’s Hat Has Taken Over
The real winner of the Grammys was Pharrell’s hat, and now designer Vivienne Westwood is winning too. After the hat was identified as a style introduced by Westwood in 1982 and featured in the video for Malcolm McLaren’s early hip-hop classic “Buffalo Gals,” the website for Westwood’s online World’s End shop crashed because of heavy…
My Best Dressed at the Grammys: Hat-Loving Pharrell Williams
Fashion at the Grammys is so much more interesting than at the acting-oriented awards shows. Personal style is part of the package for musicians. They don’t have to be “pretty” or “appropriate.” They only need to make a statement about themselves — the more distinctive, the better. This means, naturally, that my Best Dressed/Wear What…
Stewie Griffin, Justin Bieber and the Week in Review
In May 2011, I blogged about Justin Bieber’s Stewie Griffin bling. How in the world did I miss Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane chatting with Conan O’Brien — in Stewie’s voice — about the necklace later that year? Wow, Bieber fever is actually very dangerous! I don’t want you to miss anything the way I…
