Princess Grace Foundation Gala…
Last night was a very entertaining evening, on many levels.
First of all, Charlene looked lovely. She killed in a Ralph Lauren gown:
For all her title and position, she was a nervous wreck when she gave her speech. Speaking with her afterwards, she said to me, "I really did a terrible job, I was so nervous!" I assured her that her natural charm overcame any butterflies.
These events are always a great place to see Mutton Dressed as Lamb, and Adventures in Bad Plastic Surgery. Lynn Wyatt, we decided, asked her plastic surgeon to do something a day early for Halloween:
And I bet her body looked great in that dress 40 years ago. But now it just screams – "MISTAKE!" Another train wreck was Tuna Koprulu (yes, that’s her name):
If there’s any justice, her plastic surgeon got the electric chair. I’ll settle for life in prison for whoever sold her that outfit. Award winner Cicely Tyson was also traffic-stopping in her overdone creation:
You can carry ruffles until you’re about 16. After that, it just gets sad.
I think it’s nice to see people in their best and out to support a great cause. Princess Charlene is just beyond fantastic though – too bad we all can’t all look like models, swim like Olympians, and marry royalty. 🙂

A few ruffles can look elegant when done right. But that’s overkill, which is a pity.

Just goes to show that elegance and money don’t always go together. I wonder how much these women spent to look so horrible-better that money were donated to the cause!
