Hey Michelle Obama, How About an Oscar?

Oscar de la Renta has a long standing grudge against our First Lady for not wearing more American designers, which a lot of people think translates to not wearing his designs (or maybe the It Can't All Be Dior offices are just a bunch of cynical old pusses)


Reviewing the Fall 2012 collection I noticed some pieces that Shelly O could really make sing and make Oscar smile

M'Obama love a printed, embellished coat and the one above does not disappoint

She also loves a  full skirt and both it and the shift to the right have a new Camelot feel to them. Plus that shift will show off those guns.

Speaking of guns, how sexy would this gown be for some formal event?


And the below pant and top combo for more day meetings

Sleek, modern and feminine, ODR has a lot of options to make peace with FLOTUS. Syria, take note.

French Vogue's Getting Piggy with the Talent

Watch out Emmanuelle Alt, Miss Piggy is gunning for your gig. 

According to Vogue UK, Miss Piggy will play an editor for French Vogue in the latest Muppet movie slated for February 2012. 


You just know every designer with a sense of humor is calling for a cameo! Couldn't you just see Isaac Mizrahi and Piggy at a power lunch while she's decked out in mini Oscar de la Renta and a wee Chanel classic quilted? 

(well excuse me, girlfriend. Of course you've already got a classic. How silly of me.)

(and obviously ELLE, but Miss Piggy and Catherine Deneuve together? Purrrrr)

Last Nite's Party: Emmy Fashion

Ok, I watch a lot of tv, or so I thought. But I don't know who half these B's are on last nite's Emmy red carpet.

So I just gonna focus on the few I do....

I know Anna Paquin from True Blood and I know Alexander McQueen, but I don't think the two go together. She looks squat and too two tone. My high school colors were black and gold and that was probably the last time I needed to see someone wear just those two colors from head to toe. . 

I know Christina Hendricks because she's hot and all over the place from Mad Men to magazine covers to London Fog. I might be the only person out there who likes this lavender Zac Posen dress on her, but I think the milky skin, flame waves and floaty lilac number are all so rich and delicious. But I am also biased when it comes to redheads. I can't talk ish about them or Mr G will put the hurt on. 

 

Betty White straight doin' it and winning much deserved SNL hosting awards. Go Bets!

Another funny lady and SNL alum got it right. Sure, Tina Fey's Oscar de la Renta looks a bit like hieroglyphics but I think they read as "Go on now, Miss Tina!"

Another print, another True Blood actress. But unfortunately, another flop. Mr G and Miss GL are not fans of Rutina Wesley's Tara on the show and I always have to defend her. In this Douglas Hannant dress she looks ok and the print is fun, but the hair and makeup is indefensible. Honey, I don't need to remind you the face is the money. 

Who this girl? She's on The Office according to IMDB. She look like she on the way to prom. And I kinda not mad at that. 

I really not mad at these two. This is Muriel and Elaine Benes, together! At last. I'ma go fag out in a corner now. (Oh and if it matters, Toni's in Valentino and Julia's in Narciso Rodriguez, of course. She LOVE him.)

Cutest couple in love (notice the nerdy bow tie color matching her dress) Emily Blunt and John Krasinski

Attention whoriest couple in love Ty Burrell (who he???) and wife

Kelly Osbourne, are you even on tv anymore? Either way you look the best you've EVER looked in this Tony Ward dress, girl. Keep it up!

Prada is one of those labels that has a huge following and major respect in the industry. Rita Wilson is showcasing a prime example of why I always question Prada's reputation. Yikes!

RESORT to This: Palazzo Pants

Things you MUST have in your life if you want to embrace the Palazzo Pants that were a key trend of Resort 2011:

1. A great vacuum/ Swifter/ maid to remove all dust bunnies

2. A steamer to keep those pants in their crisp, unwrinkled state

3. Nowhere to be, cuz if you try running in these, honey....

(Yves Saint Laurent)

(Chanel)

(Phillip Lim)

(Celine)

(Zac Posen)

Thrown a Curve 'Ball'

(Queen of the Universe in and with Oscar de la Renta)

A few weeks ago I wrote how there was none of the usual hype for this year's Costume Institute Ball at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Well where there's no smoke, there's none of that fire. And last nite was in desperate need of a bellow.

(Hilary Rhoda in Prabal Gurung)

(Naomi Campbell in

Dolce +Gabbana)                                       

Ladies, these outfits are weak. This is your moment to give us a giant sartorial bitch slap, Alexis Carrington style. This is more like Amanda Woodward lite.

(Jessica Stam in Rachel Roy)

(Zoe Saldana in Calvin Klein)

                                                               

Things I did like: lots of models present, granted outside Naomi no "supers". Where's Kate? Stephanie? Alek? Karen Elson? Could they smell this stinker a mile away?

(Chanel Iman doin' it in Michael Kors)

And I liked that most guests repped for American designers (again except Naomi. Oh Nomes! Gotta love ya!)

And these usual suspects looked good:

(Chloe Sevigny in Proenza Schouler)

(Nicole Richie in Marc Jacobs)

      

(Rachel Zoe in Marc Jacobs)

(Gwen Stefani in LAMB)

  

And obviously let my US Weekly subscription lapse, cuz when did these two get back together???

(Sienna Miller in Pucci and Jude Law)

But hands down the best look of the evening belongs to:

(Dreamboat Christopher Bailey

and non-descript young'in white girl actress  #4)
