Oscars Memory: Red Carpet With George Clooney

by

Okay, I wasn’t really WITH George Clooney, but I was pretty close to him. Here’s a photo of George doing his thing on the Oscar red carpet in 2006 while I lurk seductively in the background.

George and WendyB. Source forgotten.

My real date was MrB.

I wore the same Zang Toi gown to an Obama inaugural party in 2009, but I wore my peacock feather shawl with it instead of carrying the peacock feather fan.

From an inaugural party.

Try not to miss me too much tonight, George Clooney!

UPDATED TO ADD: For everyone who is Googling “Why was [Wendy’s boyfriend] George Clooney mad at the Oscars?”…it was clearly because he was missing me.

  5. hi wendy! i haven’t followed your blog for very long, only after the IFB conference, but i LOVE how cheeky funny you are!!! plus the peacock details are lovely…way to stand out 🙂

  6. You look great in green! I love that you can rock an emerald green dress with bright red lips and look classy and pretty

  7. You’ve gone to the Oscars?!?! You are seriously the most glamorous and practically famous person I know. Really. (I mean, I know some practically famous Canadians, but it doesn’t seem as thrilling :-))

  8. If I ever had the opportunity to attend the Oscars red carpet and dress up, I think I would damn near hypventilate. God forbid if I was near someone like George Clooney!

    And I’m really liking the peacock motif– beautiful emerald color!

  10. You look fabulous, but the best things is that I know someone who was that close to Georgie – GET OUT!!!!

    ooh my anti-spam word is Empress – Why yes I am! LOL!

  12. i love your peacock accessories! my roomie dressed up as peacock for halloween .. she really could have used your gown i think!

  13. You have such exciting stories to share. I love the green dress. Hope George made it through the night without you. 😉

  14. My antispam word was Olive Oyl which you definitely didn’t look like. Love the Green Gown and I bet George’s date was green with envy.

  15. I tried to play it cool when around the celebs in NYC. Your man candy Clooney is one dude who could most def make me lose said cool though. Killer gown lady!

  24. I am loving that green dress on you. It’s fabulous…and congrats on the pic w/clooney 😀 Love that you got to go!

    ♡,
    Jessica

  26. Wow, that green gown is amazingly stunning on you! That’s probably my favorite thing I’ve seen you wear (out of many fantastic outfits!!).

  27. Wendy, first of all, I love how you totally started the yellow arrow trend!! How did Jay Manuel manage to steal that from you so fast? You should get royalties. Speaking of royalty… you look stunningly gorgeous in these pix. George would be so lucky to have you as his “arm candy.” Oh… and you speak English!!!! Bonus!

  29. i love your dress! such a gorgeous shade of green, and it looks rad with the feathers.

    george and i have talked about you. he says you are a big heartbreaker and that you were embarrassed to stand next to him. shame on you. shame on you!!!

  30. Your such a doll! I think you did the peacock feathers before Nicole Kidman.

    Poor George and what a lucky man Mr. B is!

    Green is your friend too!

  38. I love your dress. What I don’t love….they keep posting that picture of George and I had just stepped out of the frame for a minute.

  39. Not only is WendyB gorgeous, she’s showed remarkable restraint. Had Miss J found herself that close to Clooney, he’d have found her tongue down his throat and Miss J would have a lot of ‘splainin’ to do. Mr. J would have understood, maybe not so much Mr. C.

  40. That’s one of my favorites among your gorgeous gowns. Those peacock feathers are stunning. George obviously was missing you last night, saw him dab his eyes with a hanky.

  43. You went to the OSCARS? Oh my god! That must have been amazing. You look stunning. I love that you actually dress up all glamerous on a regular basis.

  46. You’re too funny, Wendy! I love you peacock accessories! I have yet to see you in a color that you don’t look phenomenal in!

  47. damn Wendy I’m not sure what I’m more envious of…your proximity to George Clooney, or all your peacock feathered accessories! You look just smashing in green my dear.
