My Best Dressed at the 2022 Grammys Is …

April 4, 2022 by WendyB

It seemed like the producers of the Grammys show learned something from the debacle at the Oscars a week earlier. In contrast to that train wreck, the show was generally upbeat and smooth, and the In Memoriam section struck the right tone. Ukrainian president Zelenskyy addressed the viewers in a pre-recorded segment, after being rejected…

My Best Dressed at the 2021 Oscars Is …

April 25, 2021 by WendyB

I’ve written before my lifelong love for DayGlo colors. Photos prove that I favor neon-pink for special occasions, like the first day of my last year of high school. Seriously! Check out my 1984 first-day-of-school top by Guess, peeking out from under my popped-collar denim jacket. Twenty-nine years later, I wore a fancy version of…

My Best Dressed at the 2021 SAG Awards Is …

April 5, 2021 by WendyB

I didn’t tune in to the Screen Actors Guild Awards last night because this year’s virtual ceremony — a pre-recorded, hour-long Zoom — wasn’t particularly appealing, but I’m glad I checked out the fashion after the fact. Leslie Odom Jr.’s suit and matching turtleneck by Berluti deserve my prestigious Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo…

My Best Dressed at the 2020 Golden Globes Is …

January 6, 2020 by WendyB

A confession: The title of this post is misleading, because I am not interested in what most people consider “best dressed” at a celebrity-heavy event such as last night’s Golden Globes. Years ago, I decided the world needed a Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award, which I bestow upon an attendee who dares to…
