I was digging the short hairdos at MTV’s Video Music Awards last night. Of course, Pink has been a devotee of short hair for years. But she had more company than usual at the VMAs. Miley Cyrus went short last month, and her hair looked great glammed up for the event. I’ve adored many of…
Best Dressed/Wear What You Want Award
With Age Comes Wisdom … and IDGAF Style
I’m amused by the many people on my Twitter timeline who think that old age begins at 30. That doesn’t surprise me; I felt the same way. (Now 30 is the good old days to me. Oh, if only I knew then what I know now, etc.) It’s human nature. In 1827, the almost-49-year-old English…
Usher Was at the BET Awards; Nick Rhodes Is an Icon
I was headed out the door when the BET Awards came on last night, but I noticed my Twitter timeline blowing up with derogatory references to singer Usher and his “pink boots.” During dinner, I kept wondering what he was wearing to cause such shock and dismay. For some reason, I kept envisioning baby-pink cowboy…
“Wear What You Want” Icon: Grace Jones
Grace Jones has always been a “Wear What You Want” icon … CLICK FOR THE FAMOUS “ISLAND LIFE” ALBUM COVER BY JEAN-PAUL GOUDE … but anyone who didn’t know that got schooled by Jones’s performance at Monday’s Diamond Jubilee concert in London. For the celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s 60 years on the English throne,…
Beyonce Wins the 2012 Met Gala
My invitation to the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art must have gotten lost in the mail — AGAIN! — and, as a result, I’m sitting at home tonight in the XXL “I Heart New York” t-shirt that I bought at JFK one fiendishly hot July day when my plane was delayed…

What Wendy Wore: Watanabe to the Weinstein Party
Remember that crazy Junya Watanabe jacket I tried on at Bergdorf Goodman earlier this week? I bought it, of course, and wore it to the Weinstein Company pre-Oscar party in Los Angeles last night. The event was fabulous! Tony Bennett was there and sang “Autumn Leaves” to the Weinstein brothers’ mother. And I spotted Meryl…
Vintage What Wendy Wore: 2003 Grammys Dress
Watching the Grammys red carpet — with my eyes peeled for Snooki, whose stylist borrowed my swear rings — I was reminded that I went to the Grammys in 2003, when they were held at Madison Square Garden. I wore a very tight unlabeled vintage dress that might have been by Giorgio di Sant’ Angelo….
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…
