Red Carpet: 2024 Grammy Awards

 "Inside every older person is a young person - wondering what the heck happened."

~Unknown

You know the drill. A few looks that I liked or caught my eye. Fewer and fewer as the years go on. Also, I'm almost a week late on posting. Apparently, that's also part of the drill.


Dawn Richard in Khosrov

Now, this one is definitely inventive. I love the shade of red, a deep red with a blue-undertone. The creativity, I'm liking. But I'm also wondering where she was seated and who was sitting behind her and did they complain?


Summer Walker

Yet another "please don't sit in front of me" headpiece. Fun, but really... wouldn't want to get stuck behind her.


Mimy Succar

I like the fabric of this one. Not my choice of color. But I think it looks nice on her.


Seriously, there were just SO FEW looks that I liked from the Grammy's... 


Hannatu Masawa

Loving the beadwork on this one.


Jessica Ledon and David Guetta

Clearly I'm liking the long flowy ones covering more skin. I feel like the majority of dresses consisted of maybe one yard of lace. This one looks lovely.


Lupita Infante

I love the embroidery on this one. Don't love the bodice of the dress so much. But the embroidery is really lovely.


Aaaannnnd. That's it. And that felt like pulling teeth. I guess I'm getting old, were I just don't like the looks anymore. And I certainly don't even know the people. Like, at all. Except a handful. As in, less than 5.

Red Carpet: 2024 Golden Globe Awards


"Playing dress up begins at age 5 and never truly ends."

~Kate Spade


Watching awards shows is no longer really interesting to me. But looking at the red carpet photos the next day still is.


Ali Wong in Dior Couture

Ali Wong looked simultaneously quirky and elegant. I love the look. And she is quite talented AND a fellow native San Franciscan.


Hailee Steinfeld in Prada


So, as is increasingly the norm, I have no idea who Hailee Steinfeld is. But her look was reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" outfit, only pink. I like it. Only, I think I would have passed on the transparent black gloves. Maybe white? Or pink.


Oprah Winfrey in Louis Vuitton

Oprah has been donning so many purple gowns and outfits on her Instagram page in celebration of her newly produced remake of "The Color Purple." So fun. She's stunning.


Issa Rae in Pamella Roland

Speaking of stunning. Issa Rae. She's just beautiful. And captivating, really. Her makeup artist is a friend of mine from high school, which is a fun connection. I just think Issa glows.


Natalie Portman in Dior

Natalie just looks like a French impressionist garden painting. Different, but it works for me.



Charlotte Stoudt

This dress is simultaneously simple and flashy. And I like it.


Aaaand. That's it. Since the Golden Globes were over a month ago now, I guess I should post this. What's the next red carpet event to watch?
