Singer/songwriter/producer/everything Pharrell Williams sure knows how to get everyone talking with his fashion choices. In January, his Vivienne Westwood hat stole the show at the Grammys. In March, his tuxedo shorts made a big statement at the Oscars. Tonight, I was watching True Blood instead of the BET Awards, but when I saw “Uggs” trending…

My Best Dressed at the Oscars: Pharrell, Jared, Lupita
The men are killing it again! At the Grammys, the dudes outdid the ladies when it came to adventurous fashion, and they repeated their achievement at tonight’s Oscars. Tuxedos are getting lively! I liked the blue tuxes worn by Kevin Spacey and Jason Sudeikis, and the burgundy one worn by Michael Strahan. E! red carpet…
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…
My Best Dressed at the 2021 Oscars Is …
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 …
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…
Never Is the Next New Thing™: Oscar’s Pink Floof
Many fashion critics — both professional and amateur — spent last night asking, “How?” “Why?” and “Is that a bath sponge?” about the plethora of pink floof at the Oscars. But I’m confident that you, my readers, merely nodded wisely, because you already knew that pink floof has been building up to this moment since…
2019 Grammys: The Best of the Rest
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…
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…
Music and Beauty
As a great philosopher (Madonna) once said, “Music makes the people come together,” and the truth of that statement was on display at the “One Love Manchester” benefit concert yesterday. Ariana Grande — accompanied by performers including Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Coldplay, Liam Gallagher, Marcus Mumford, and Pharrell Williams — entertained a crowd…
