I got to see my gorgeous rapper friend Gangsta Boo while I was out in Los Angeles for the Oscars a couple of weeks ago. We went to dinner at Philippe Chow with Boo’s boo Emmet and MrB. We enjoyed the filet mignon with broccoli and the hopping restaurant scene. I swear, Boo knew everyone…

MrB’s Oscar Night Accessories
I’m quite proud of this photo I took at the Weinstein Company’s Oscar viewing party. I was just trying to get a picture of MrB’s pearl cufflinks, but I managed to get a mini outfit photo. There you can see MrB’s Armani tux; Pucci bow tie; the Cartier watch I gave him for our wedding…
What Wendy Wore: Weinstein and Vanity Fair Oscar Parties
I’m in Los Angeles, thrilled to be away from the 1 degree winter weather at home in New York. Last night, we went to a super-fun Oscar viewing party hosted by movie producer Harvey Weinstein, followed by the Vanity Fair after-party. There’s been a couple of times when I’ve worn a dress to the black-tie…
Oscar Fashion Flashback: Jennifer Hudson in 2007
I was reading the Hollywood Reporter’s Oscar issue and it included an article analyzing what color and style of gown was most likely to be worn by winning actresses. Gold was the lucky color, worn by 50% of the winners, with white in second place at 36%. But I lost all interest in the math…
What Wendy Wore: AGTA Spectrum Awards in Tucson
Earlier this month, I was in Arizona for the big Tucson Gem & Mineral Show. The temperature in New York fell to about 5 degrees that week, so I was delighted to be in warmer cactus country. I have excellent gem dealers in New York City, but it can still be tough to find very…

My Best Dressed at the Grammys: Sia and Her Child Minion
When wig-loving, face-hiding singer Sia hit the Grammy red carpet a short while ago with a supersized hairpiece and a matching child dancer in tow, I knew my search was over.

What Wendy Wore: Billy Idol at the Beacon Theatre
It was a nice day for a white wedding yesterday, but an even better day to see Billy Idol at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. I first saw Billy live nearly 31 years ago … to the day! That show was at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, N.J., on Feb. 4, 1984. I…
Musical Interlude: Fleetwood Mac Is Back
I saw Fleetwood Mac at Madison Square Garden in October. It was a great show, but I wasn’t thrilled with my seats. I was too far away from the stage. Over the past couple of years, I’ve gotten very passionate about being up close and personal with performers. When I realized Fleetwood Mac was performing…
