In 2012, I invented my Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award and bestowed it upon Piper Perabo and her sheer ballgown at the Golden Globes. You can’t just wear a pretty dress to win this prestigious award! Your look has to be interesting too. Being controversial is a big plus. I enjoy a red-carpet…

My Best Dressed at the Oscars: Naomi Watts
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…
My Best Dressed at the Golden Globes: Lucy Liu
I didn’t find anyone worthy of my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award at the Golden Globes last night. Last year, I bestowed that award upon Piper Perabo, because her sheer ballgown by Theyskens’ Theory had that special touch of crazy that makes me say, “I WANT YOUR INSANE OUTFIT” to the television….
My Best Dressed at the Emmys: Emilia Clarke
Unlike this year’s Golden Globes and SAG Awards, the Emmy Awards didn’t inspire me to bestow my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award upon anyone. Too much cement, too many safe looks. But there was one dress that made me think, “I would wear that”: Emilia Clarke’s (Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones)…
My Best Dressed at the SAG Awards: Rose Byrne
I started watching the red-carpet coverage of the Screen Actors Guild Awards yesterday, but nothing caught my eye, so I moved on. Too many of the same pale shades we saw at the Golden Globes for me. I did see actress Rose Byrne being interviewed, but close-up only, so I just gave her bangs the…
My Best Dressed at the Golden Globes: Piper Perabo
I’m giving my newly invented Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award for the Golden Globes red carpet to Piper Perabo. The oversize skirt made her sheer ballgown from Theyskens’ Theory Spring 2012 collection fit for a queen. Embed from Getty Images This is the kind of red-carpet dressing I like. Beautiful, risky and totally…
What Wendy Wore: Met Gala Fashion Statement
I haven’t dressed up since New Year’s Eve 2020, so it felt great to squeeze into a vintage Arnold Scaasi dress and go to tonight’s celebrity-packed Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Okay, I wasn’t actually inside the Met Gala, but protesting in front of the Met with the tireless activists of…
I’d Give an Emmy to Jessica Chastain’s Game of Thrones
The 2019 Emmys just ended with the award for Outstanding Drama Series going to Game of Thrones, reminding me that — before the show’s disappointing final episodes in April — actor/producer Jessica Chastain Instagrammed a video of herself trying to squeeze some pre-finale Game of Thrones spoilers out of her X-Men movie co-star Sophie Turner,…
Met Gala 2019: Preview From Bitter, Party of One
The Met Gala — the informal name for the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art — takes place tonight and, as always, I am bitter about not being an invitee. Not because I want to rub elbows with celebrities and billionaires, but because I LOVE theme dressing and I LOVE to shop…
About That Oscars Jewelry …
This is my last post on this year’s Oscars, or at least I hope so. I didn’t mean to make this into a series that goes on too long, like The Walking Dead. In case you missed my other Academy Awards-related posts, here they are: Pre-Oscar video: Celebrities, free outfits, and complaints. My Best Dressed/Wear…
