Last night, the less-is-more dresses were the ones that resonated for me. Case in point:
Ashley Judd
Helen Mirren
Viola Davis
Margot Robbie
Greta Gerwig
The dresses that didn’t do anyone any favors:
Gina Rodriguez
Elizabeth Moss
Salma Hayek
Lindsey Vonn
I was going to write a post about Grammy garb, but then I saw this:
Sir Elton, I love you, and everyone else pales by comparison.
Love, love, love this sleeveless sweater! It’s everything I admire about her designs: unique without being over the top, timeless, and a true statement piece.
Clothing by Sarah Pacini is a rare find in the U.S. I stumbled upon this gem at Reed’s in St. Helena, CA, and it was must-have at first sight.
According to my reliable source, Christina Howard, you can also find Sarah Pacini at Different Point of View in Rochester, NY.
Actresses showed their solidarity against sexual harassment and assault in the entertainment industry by wearing black at last night’s Golden Globes. From a fashion perspective, their dresses were among the best I’ve ever seen at an awards event, because…well…black.
My picks for the night:
Jessica Biel
Reese Witherspoon
Gal Gadot
Viola Davis
Saoirse Ronan
Diane Kruger
Helen Mirren
Laura Dern
Naomi Campbell
The ones who managed to screw up something as basic as black:
Alicia Vikander
Angelina Jolie
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Debra Messing
Halle Berry
Heidi Klum
Kate Hudson
Kelly Clarkson
And just for good measure: I give you Amy Sherman Palladino
Paul Green is at it again. As the menswear-for-women trend escalates, you can count on this company to keep pace. 
These oxfords have the tailored look of a man’s shoe, enhanced by a kiltie, studs, and crystals that lend a girlie vibe. They’re perfect with skinny ankle pants (sockless, of course) or with tights and a short skirt.
The winners:
Emmy Rossum
Julianna Hough
Susan Sarandon
Thandie Newton
Viola Davis
Nicole Kidman
Millie Bobby Brown
The Losers:
Heidi Klum
Debra Messing
Sarah Paulson
Mandy Moore
Ariel Winter
Kyra Sedgwick
Tracee Ellis Ross
The clear winner at last night’s Oscars was 16-year-old Auli’i Cravalho, and I’m not saying that just because my friend Sam Saboura styled her. I’m saying that because he did a spectacular job, and she looked stunning in everything she wore.
Other dresses and wearers worthy of praise:
Viola Davis
Taraji P. Henson
Brie Larson
Halle Berry
Dresses that missed the mark:
Dakota Johnson
Scarlett Johansson
Leslie Mann
Janelle Monae
