I was super-excited to go to the Vanity Fair Oscar party in Los Angeles last night. This event is a major thrill for me … but that doesn’t always mean I get a new dress for the occasion. I actually enjoy wearing the same dress to events that are just a few months apart, especially if I can do an East Coast/West Coast thing. For instance, I wore my leopard-print vintage Patrick Kelly dress to the Committee to Protect Journalists dinner in New York in November 2010 …

… and I wore it again in February 2011 to the Vanity Fair party in L.A.

In February 2009, I wore a backless Zang Toi gown with what I poetically termed “ass flowers” to the Vanity Fair party.

Then I wore it to a dinner at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in May 2009.

I’ve always been a bit confused about the years in which I wore my Sex-ay Pilgrim Dress by Donald Brooks to two East Coast/West Coast events in quick succession. But now I think that I wore it to the Committee to Protect Journalists dinner in November 2004 (below left), and wore it again to a Golden Globes party in L.A. in January 2005 (below right).
The latest example is the hot-pink Zang Toi gown I wore with a blue, ruffled Junya Watanabe cropped motorcycle jacket to the Committee to Protect Journalists dinner in November.

I wore the same combination last night. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right?
On the way to the Vanity Fair party.
The event was fabulous as always. This time, MrB and I even managed to get a turn in the party photo booth. I LOVE photo booths!
I look soooo purty in the lower right corner.
More photos as soon as I recover!
I agree-this gown and jacket combination looks vibrant and stunning-those photos of you and MrB are just so gorgeous too!!
Thanks, Sharon!
Oh, I was thinking of you the other day because I wore my Versace top from Mrs. Sting’s sale!
Amazing gowns, darling WB!
You look like a movie star!

Thank you, my dear!
Love that motorcycle jacket, it’s amazing on you! x
I’m still coveting your green jacket though!
You look fabulous, Wendy! So glad you had a wonderful time. And your photobooth pictures are priceless!!
Photobooths bring out the silly in everyone!
The outfit looks even better this time, I think because you dialed the eye makeup up to eleven.
Also, if the photo of MrB with his tongue in your ear was actually the next cover of Vanity Fair, I could die happy, my life complete.
I have to do a whole separate post on the eye makeup.
MrB keeps laughing over your cover comment!
You look amazing in all the photos, Wendy! I love the frisky Mr. B! Gorgeous gown on you – the blue eyeshadow is da bomb!
MrB is full of mischief!
OMG–those photobooth pics. MrB’s tongue should have its own post!
HA HA HA! Great, now he’s going to demand one.
Your Oscar festivities and glam outfit posts are more fun than the Oscars! Tell Mr. B he’s busted for licking your ear in the photo booth.
He’s so proud of that photo, he keeps looking at it and laughing his loud laugh. I’m like, “Go away, weirdling.”
“Go away weirdling” LOL
Stacy, ditto on the LOL!
You look gorgeous, Wendy – as ever! Mr B’s tongue has to be your best accessory yet!Don’t wear it out.
MrB is on the floor after reading your comment.
He would be. He is Mr. Silly!
LOL! That upper right hand photo of you and Mr.B is the best thing I’ve seen all day. Cracks me up.
At first he was all like, “You posted that?!” but now I think he’s proud.
Stunning as ever. The photo booth pix are fab.
I know I posted our photobooth pix from Coney Island but I can’t find them on my blog!
wows, you are Best Dressed on the carpet and cutest couple in the photo booth!
That’s what happens at 2:30 a.m. when we’re all hopped up on Diet Coke.
love those colors together!
You look so purty in all of these shots – and Mr. B is hilarious in the one where he’s licking your ear!
