Brilliant ear bling. I’m working hard to find the origin of the piece at left, but I know Bosworth is sporting Fred Leighton bling. Think it’s conflict free?

Gold sequins were officially trending at the Met Gala. Here are my faves (Kate Upton looked beautiful in shimmering gold Michael Kors, but the dress wasn’t particularly flattering). Jessica Paré in L’Wren Scott, Karolina Kurkova in Rachel Zoe, and Bianca Brandolini in D&G.

It’s Met Ball Monday! And this year, instead of painstakingly scrutinizing the Met Gala shots at Just Jared and Huff Po, I watched the live stream on Vogue.com. Yes, the celebrities and garments were fun to watch in motion, but my favorite part of the broadcast? The HILARIOUSLY audible bitching and moaning of photographers on the sidelines. They complained about non-celebrities ruining shots, actual celebrities arriving too late, fellow photographers’ poor decorum, and a lack of over-the-shoulder generosity from celebs like January Jones and Scarlett Johannsson. True to form, like any large group of rowdy straight men, they also talked sports and T&A. Whether Vogue.com meant to include the audio or not, the effect of haute couture magnificence mingled with such ordinary dialogue was brilliant.
Another surprise was Elettra Wiedemann, the offspring of Issabella Rosselini who, for me at least, had always been ostensibly just one in the vast, vapid sea of models/socialites. But as co-host of the live stream, Wiedemann proved disarming, articulate, warm, and quick-witted. I could actually see her as a cool lady friend. And she went to my alma mater, Boston University. Bffs!
Of course, I will still painstakingly scrutinize the photos. And choose favorites. Stay tuned.
Lee (Vogue Korea February), Felicity (Elle March), and Constance (Numéro April). Given its spot on at least 3 covers and in at least 3 editorials, this suit seems to be the most popular by far.
