Since Laura and I are off to a gala tonight, I though I would do a What to Wear Now: The Gala. Sure, the average person doesn’t have too many galas in their lifetime, which usually explains why so many are poorly dressed. The most obvious mistakes are that they immediately think a. Floor length and b. Republican.
Instead, start with an off-the-shoulder dress that balances sex and modesty (www.shopbop.com). Amplify the sex factor to scare some of the more elderly guests with these Lanvin shoes (www.luisaviaroma.com). For skin, think the dewy visages shown on the S/S 2007 Lanvin runway, which you can achieve with this Stila luminizer (www.stilasometics.com) – although wear sparingly. Finally, add some purple-black OPI polish and a silver metallic clutch – because with that many prune-drinkin’ rich folk, you’ll be surrounded with more gold than even Mr. T could handle.
Please could you invite me to fashion spot!
