FELICITY HUFFMAN HAS “THE LOOK”

Felicity Huffman is a woman who knows how to dress when she’s going to court. Simple, modest, nothing flashy – no designer labels – grey dress, sensible shoes. Even more important, she has the right look on her minimally made up face. She’s giving no thought to the paparazzi. It’s apparent she takes the situation VERY SERIOUSLY and is genuinely sorry for the crime she committed. Today she pled guilty for taking part in the college admissions bribery scheme in front of a Boston judge, and looks ready to accept her punishment.

CRAZY RICH ASIAN GEMMA CHAN IS BEST DRESSED AND PAIN-FREE!

Crazy Rich Asians star Gemma Chan is our pick for Best Dressed at the Oscars for SO many reasons! Start with the hot pink color – and we love the fluttery collar framing her face. The pleating and detailing of the layers of fabric is luscious and it goes on forever. This modern gown has NO restrictions! It’s not tight anywhere, just graceful and feminine. No need for industrial strength spanx or other compressive underwear or tape – Gemma actually looks comfortable – a look you rarely see at the Oscars! We would give anything to see a photo of Gemma (and other actresses in bouffant gowns) as they are SITTING in the theater. Where do they put all that skirt – do they roll it up on their laps – stuff half on their date’s lap? Inquiring minds want to know…

WATCH OUT, LADY GAGA, HERE COMES CARDI B!

Grammy night proved to be the best fashion night so far of the awards season. Lots of creative eccentric fabulous fashion and a minimum of those repetitious low cut gowns with high slits and a leg poking out. SOMEBODY had to be outrageous because Lady Gaga chose to be less shocking and more glam this year – so Cardi B took up the slack, and very nicely.

JANELLE MONAE DOES IT AGAIN

Sorry, but whenever Janelle Monae shows up for a red carpet event, she is hands down, on the Best Dressed list for us. Frankly, if we never see another low cut gown with a slit skirt and a leg sticking out, we will be SO HAPPY! As usual, Janelle avoided all the clichés and layered an Egyptian inspired Chanel dress over a white knit one for The Golden Globes. As always, creative hair and an unusual hat. Flawless and original.

ROD STEWART IS STILL A SNAPPY DRESSER

Rod Stewart may be 74 years old, but he’s still a knockout of a rock star! Rod and his wife Penny attended the black tie Vanity Fair Climate Exchange Gala and he proved that he’s still a DANDY, after all these years. (We appreciate men who try harder) This father of eight just announced his 2019 UK tour promoting his latest album Blood Red Roses.

WHO DOESN’T WANT TO LOOK LIKE JANELLE MONAE?

We think Janelle Monae should be at the top of every Best Dressed list. Her personal style is so spectacular that it almost overshadows her music. If Kanye West, who knows nothing about fashion, can become a clothing tycoon, why isn’t Janelle, who has genuine taste and abundant style, in the fashion biz? Talentless people like the Kardashians are always getting fashion deals, and pretending to design, without much success. Hopefully some fashion company will open their eyes and sign up Janelle…

CARDI B DOES CARMEN MIRANDA

Cardi B probably has no idea who Carmen Miranda was, but her stylist definitely does. This is the perfect for the AMA show – it’s young, fun, overwhelming, and colorful without being desperately sexy. Just adorable. It shows that Cardi has a sense of humor and is willing to take chances. She’s well dressed even if she isn’t well behaved…

BEST DRESSED LIST: HAS PEOPLE MAGAZINE GONE NUTS?

By stupidly including (and pandering to) Kim Kardashian on its Best Dressed list, People has succeeded in EMBARRASSING every other woman on that list! We’re pretty sure being on a list with Kim has made respectable women like Amal Clooney and Kate Blanchett a lot LESS excited about the so-called “honor.” Aspiring designer Kanye West is probably quite happy because HE takes credit for telling his wife what to wear. Kim wore the nasty get-up above to a dinner WITH HER FAMILY IN PARIS and it was an international embarrassment.
(For more horrible Kim fashion, type her name into SEARCH at top of site)

IS JANELLE MONAE THE FEMALE VERSION OF PRINCE?

Sorry, but when Janelle Monae hits the red carpet, everybody else might as well go home. In our world, she is the undisputed Queen of Red Carpet Fashion. Janelle does not obediently throw on some publicity-hungry designer’s dress – it’s glaringly apparent that SHE DRESSES HERSELF and stays true to her own evolving style. When she started out in the music biz, Janelle wore all kinds of creative black and white tuxes, but now the pint-sized (5’) fashionista is introducing COLOR – as only she can. We like her movies (Hidden Figures) and her music, (check out her Dirty Computer video) but we love love love HER STYLE – why doesn’t she have a fashion deal like Rihanna?

WORST AND BEST DRESSED AT THE MET GALA

WORST: Katy Perry should FIRE her stylist or whatever designer put her in this get-up. Not only is it sadly reminiscent of a tacky Victoria’s Secret angel costume, but it’s downright unflattering to the max. And we’re betting Katy took up more room than any other person at the party. SOMEBODY had to be Worst Dressed and Katy was winner by a mile.

BEST: There were lots of creative and glamorous gowns (except Rihanna – ditch that Pope hat!) but we fell in love with the simplicity and power of Zendaya’s Joan of Arc look. It almost looks like it’s made of metal and radiates with female power – but not hyper-sexuality. The 21 year old singer/actress (and former Disney star) just oozes female superiority.
