33I really wanted to like this. I REALLY did:
I love the skirt. I might not even hate the top, although it kind of looks as though it’s covered in Candy Buttons. I like the color scheme, and in general I enjoy any outfit that looks as if Carol Brady might have worn it to a gala thrown by Mike’s architecture firm. But in the final analysis, this is one of those things where I embrace it THEORETICALLY and in practice it gives me a headache. Kind of like that third martini.

I feel like this would work so much better if it didn’t appear to be growing on her:
I just really want someone to answer a question for me, and that question is this: How long are we going to continue to be presented with formal gowns which appear to be designed to double as, like, really glamorous mold? I’d wrinkle my nose at this if I found it on my sourdough.

Milan has already started and we’re still trying to catch up with what’s in our lightboxes from London (of which this is, happily, the last). How do the editors DO IT? Anyway, here is a sampling of who attended: some Sienna Miller, some Anna Kendrick, and a little Paloma Faith to renew your belief in gleeful wackitude. As if it ever died.

It must be hard to lose Wimbledon one day and then host a charity shindig the next, especially one that MAY have been scheduled in the hopes that it’d be tied to your victory lap. Fortunately, Sarah Ferguson and the ornate orthodontia she strapped to her waist were there to drag him out of his doldrums.

Apparently, there is currently an exhibit at Kensington Palace featuring dresses worn by the Queen, Princess Margaret, and Princess Diana, and as I am sure you can imagine: I want to go to there. It sounds awesome, and it’s running for two years, so maybe I will get my wish. THESE yahoos got to go yesterday, and some of them look better than others.

Well Played, Hayley Atwell
This is so much better than her more recent outings:
She still looks like she’s a character in a period piece — which I think is actually the best look for her, as she has Period Piece Face (not a brutal affliction, as it’s one shared by the likes of, say, Keira Knightley and Kate Winslet) — but this time she at least doesn’t look like the character who makes you roll your eyes and mutter, “ugh, THIS ONE again. Why do they think we CARE?” Obviously, she was long ago cast in my fictional English country house murder/time travel/romance series — as Matt Lewis’s awesome older sister whose moxie has been sucked out of her by her terrible husband, but who still manages to have the verve to make very minor trips through time to warn everyone about the Nazis (they don’t listen), so I am happy to see her back on track.
