Hey, everybody. Happy Friday. I just want to say a very heartfelt "mazel tov" to the gays in the US of A. May other states fall in line (that means you New Jersey- come on already) and recognize that love is love is love. This weekend is Pride in New York, and you better believe it will be the biggest party evah. Oh, and for those of you troubled by what to wear to all of these said weddings, I've given you a little primer below. Here's five iconic looks tots perfect for any gay wedding- you simply can't go wrong, so get ready to be inspired when shopping for that perfect frock- oh I know this occasion is bigger than fashion, but with such a landmark ruling, one must simply dress well, and that's that. I know my gays wouldn't have it any other way. So without further adieu, I give you, Five for Friday: The What to Wear to a Gay Wedding edition:
The Dynasty. Who loves Dynasty more than the gays? Channel your inner Alexis Colby Carrington and rock some vintage Vicky Teil, Nolan Miller, or Bob Mackie. Do it.
The Truman. Oh yes. The iconic Black and White ball- tout New York society in all its glory. You can't go wrong channeling any of these looks. Masks optional, though I suspect there may be one or two same sex weddings inspired by this iconic and historic soiree. Also in this category? Any classic you can shake a skinny, tanned arm at- think Jackie, think CZ, think Gloria.
The eccentric millionairess. Daphne Guinness. Deeda Blair. Enough said. DRAMA. In the best way. Hair streaks optional, but recommended.
The rich hippie. Talitha in all her greatness- perfect for a beach wedding- get thee a kaftan. Think Ossie Clark, Matthew Williamson, and gals like Talitha and company. All you need is love. And money.
The Carrie Bradshaw. This is actually my top pick. Carrie just knew how to dress up- the perfect mix of chic/trendy/fun/sexy. I'd go here one those invites are in the mail, and that's a fact. It's all about a mix of vintage, designer, and of course- THE SHOES
Oh and ps, if you are lost in my myriad of fashion references, chances are you're not having a gay wedding. I myself am looking forward to some "I do's" in the near future, and you better believe I'll bring the fashion. Cause that's what's up this pride filled Friday in the rainbow hued 212. All the love to all of you, whatever team you play on- let's love each other, and look gorgeous doing it. XO
