What Wendy Wore: Vintage to Vanity Fair
MrB and I were in Los Angeles for the Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday. (Thanks for inviting us, Graydon Carter!) We watched the Oscars as we got dressed, and we were standing in front of the television, ready to walk out, just as Best Picture was announced. I was disappointed that La La Land…
My Best Dressed at the 2017 Oscars Is …
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about tiaras lately, so I loved seeing a major ruby headpiece, designed by Irene Neuwirth, on Best Actress nominee Ruth Negga at the Oscars. Embed from Getty Images Some people say that red doesn’t stand out on a red carpet, but Ruth killed it with not just the…
What Wendy Tried: Oscar de la Renta on Oscar Weekend
I hadn’t visited Decades in Los Angeles — aka vintage-gown heaven — in forever, and I rectified that yesterday. I emailed fabulous sales associate Helena before I went in and told her I only wanted to see over-the-top designs. I believe this one was by Oscar de la Renta. I tried on a lot of…
Beyoncé Should Be a Grammys Wake-Up Call
I haven’t stopped thinking about the Grammys since they aired just over a week ago — and by “the Grammys” I mean “Beyoncé.” Embed from Getty Images The show belonged to Beyoncé — now the most nominated female artist in Grammy history — even though she only won two of her nine categories: best urban…
My Best Dressed at the 2017 Grammys Is …
The Grammys red carpet is always fun because it reliably brings the crazy. When it comes to show-biz style, musicians don’t play it safe the way actors do. Even when you bring a musician to the Academy Awards — the No. 1 event for luxurious, boring fashion — you can’t necessarily get her to conform….
Awards Show Jewelry: NAACP, BAFTAs, Grammys
I’m excited to see big, un-stuffy, unexpected earrings having a major moment on this weekend’s red carpets. Tracee Ellis Ross was my Best Dressed at the Golden Globes last month thanks to her two fistfuls of rings. Proving she’s no one-trick jewelry pony, Ross went completely ringless at last night’s NAACP Image Awards. That kept…
The Week in Review, Plus a Farewell to T P-T
In case you missed it, here’s what was on the blog this week. Monday: I had a little operation that’s limiting my pinkie-ring-wearing ability and Lady Gaga has Prince’s flair for an exciting exit. Tuesday: My colored-gem rings — including one with amethyst, February’s birthstone — are getting some love. Wednesday: Order your PERSIST necklace…
My Best Dressed at the SAG Awards Is …
Because I’m a jewelry designer, you might think my eyes would be on awards-show jewelry to the exclusion of everything else fashion-related, right? You’d be wrong! While I admire the big-time red-carpet jewelry, it doesn’t often surprise me. We all know Harry Winston can provide a breathtaking diamond necklace. Big juicy emeralds are bound to…
Marlo Thomas, Mary Tyler Moore’s Contemporary
As I was writing about Mary Tyler Moore last night, I kept thinking, “Hers wasn’t the only important show about a single working woman living alone in a big city.” But there was so much to say about Moore that I decided I’d write about Marlo Thomas another day. Procrastination in moderation once again worked…
