To SAG or Not to SAG

Honestly, if I see one more award show where the women have more sagging out of their dresses than is covered up by them, I think I am going to scream.  I understand the desire of women wanting to look good and to draw attention to their assets, but, oh my goodness, I just don’t get the bare it all attitude. When I get all dressed up, I want people looking at all of me, the total package, and thinking, “Wow, she looks great!”  Watching the SAG Awards the other night, I spent more time wondering if the actresses’ wardrobe malfunctions would happen “on-camera” or “off-camera” than I did thinking about how they looked in their dresses.  In the end, I remembered the dress or, in some cases, the lack of a dress more than I remembered the woman wearing it.  Somehow I don’t think that was the ultimate goal.  It is kind of like remembering the commercial, but not the product  — it doesn’t do much for branding.

I’ve always been a firm believer that some of the sexiest looks leave a bit to the imagination.  Suggestion is highly seductive. Take a look at how these classic women dressed and share your thoughts about baring it all on the red carpet.

The Classic Style of Charlotte Casiraghi

She is an accomplished equestrian, the new face of Gucci, the daughter of Princess Caroline of Monaco and the granddaughter of Grace Kelly.  Need I say more?  At 25, Charlotte Casiraghi is many things including rich and beautiful.  However, she has something that money or pedigree can not buy — a sense of grace and style.  Sure, being raised around high fashion has its privileges, but again, it does not guarantee that one knows what to do with it.  Charlotte not only knows what to do with it, but she does it well.
