The Twitterverse was bursting post-show over what is being called Emily Blunt’s ‘vagina dress.’ Nominated for both roles in Mary Poppins Returns and A Quiet Place (for which she won Supporting Actress in a Film) Blunt came to the event in a form-fitting pink Michael Kors gown, with a neck ruffle. The ruffle framing of her neck and torso seemed for many to look like female genitalia.
The halting of Rubber Cult’s six-year run doesn’t necessarily speak to a trend, or rubber clothing losing its popularity. But surely economic concerns can play into whether smaller events are happening over larger ones and the frequency of happenings. Luckily, we see new fetish parties, alt. couture shows, and meet-ups of the like-minded happening all the time.
Whether she is going to go wearing a latex outfit or some other piece of wardrobe, Bebe Rexha is finding it hard to find a dress for the upcoming Grammy Awards. Eerily akin to what Leslie Jones and Megan Mullally, recently found when they were searching for their gowns for big events, what’s happened is that certain designers are begging off dressing the curvy 29-year old Rexha for the show claiming she is, well…too big.
We are all certainly aware of how a snug fit in a latex wardrobe piece is crucial to how good we look when we dress up. Fitting right in something formfitting is what we lovers of alternate couture are as much after as making sure we can maintain a good shine. This week Nike unveiled their new Adapt BB basketball sneaker, with not so much a shine as this is the first shoe of its kind to use technology to assure a perfect tight fit.
It would be too easy to quip, ‘Who came first?’ Or that Kylie has ‘egg on her face.’ But bigger questions loom, (or might): Does a picture of an egg beating out a picture of a celebrity’s baby in Instagram views speak, in some way, to current online behavior? Or is the very fact that this has all become news (and we are blogging about is) speak to an even deeper malady over how we are all swept up in the mundane?
This week the A Star Is Born star attended the National Board of Review Annual Awards Gala wearing a black tuxedo dress sporting a halter neck. The haute couture piece made by Ralph Lauren sported 23,000 crystals, and Gaga accessorized with black heels…and a black-and-gold feathered short cape.
This is what one can take away from the outfits worn for the “76th Golden Globe Awards,” shown this past Sunday. Far from years previous of all-black wardrobe choices making specific statements, or celebs wearing ribbons of various colors supporting particular causes, the men and women showing up The Beverly Hilton represented a fine rainbow of colors and equally varied styles.
The Masked Singer presents celebrities singing in outrageous disguises on stage in front of an audience and the show’s celebrity judges (on the opening show these judges were Robin Thicke, Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, and Nicole Scherzinger). The initial idea here (introduced as it was on the first show of this kind, the South Korean “King Of Mask Singer,”) is that costumed as they are, competitors are judged on their performance and not on looks or even their reputation…have they one.
Through her ascendancy in the rock-pop world, a well-publicized duet to legitimacy with Tony Bennett, a scary turn in “American Horror Story: Hotel,” her possible Oscar nod in a A Star Is Born and now her Enigma show in Las Vegas, really, is there any stopping Lady Gaga?
