My designing friend Stacy Lomman teaches at the famous Fashion Institute of Technology, her own alma mater. Every year, during the final semester for graduating students, the school brings in designers to mentor the students as they work on their final projects in the categories of intimate apparel, special occasion, knitwear, children’s wear, and sportswear….

My Best Dressed at the 2017 Met Gala Is …
There’s no sense in burying the lede this time: The obvious winner of my prestigious Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award for last night’s Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute ball is Rihanna, who wore a Fall 2016 Comme des Garçons look. It took her an hour to get into those shoes! Embed from Getty…
What Wendy Would Have Worn: Met Gala 2017
I am normally confident that I already own the right ensemble for most occasions — even the occasions to which I’m not invited! While we regular people don’t get to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute benefit like we used to, that’s the outing I fantasize about the most because it’s an…
Best of the Rest From the 2016 Met Gala
I named my Best Dressed/Wear What You Want award winners for the Metropolitan of Art Costume Institute gala in yesterday’s post, but I need to shout out some other favorite looks. Will.i.am’s floral-sleeved Gucci suit was gorgeous and his V. Stiviano-worthy visor was an unexpected, funny-but-cool accessory. He also had his own AneedA “device-agnostic virtual…
My Best Dressed at the 2016 Met Gala Is …
I didn’t expect the last night’s red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute gala to be an emotional roller coaster, but it was! And that made it a challenge to determine the most worthy recipient of my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award. The exhibit, “Manus X Machina: Fashion in…
My Best Dressed at the 2015 Met Gala Is …
First, let me ask … … got into people at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala last night? In 2013, when the gala celebrated the opening of the “Punk: Chaos to Couture” exhibit, I was let down by the dearth of crazy, punk-inspired fashion. There were a lot of standard-issue, red-carpet ballgowns that…
Gorgeous Gong Li at the Met Gala
I’m happy to see Chinese actress Gong Li looking stunning as always at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute gala tonight. View image | gettyimages.com She is one of the co-chairs of the event, which marks the opening of the spring fashion exhibit, called “China: Through the Looking Glass.” I love that she combined…
My Best Dressed at the Met Gala: Dita, SJP and Lupita
As if there had been any doubt, tonight’s Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala proved that the attendees of this event are very comfortable with “pretty.” Last year’s gala, which celebrated the opening of the “Punk: Chaos to Couture” exhibit, should have inspired a lot of fun theme dressing, but with a few exceptions…
My Met Gala Winners Are Miley Cyrus and Linda Fargo
As I expected, many of the guests at tonight’s Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art wore beautiful evening gowns, rather than anything related to the “Punk: Chaos to Couture” exhibit that is being celebrated. Some of the gowns are very striking, but they’d be suitable for practically any red-carpet occasion. Actress Hailee…
What Wendy Would Have Worn to the Met Gala: W.O.W. Style
Every year, my invitation to the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art gets lost in the mail. It’s such a shame, because I would wear a real costume to match the party theme, instead of one of the generically pretty designer dresses that so many guests fall back on. Remember the superhero-themed…
