Happy New Year, Fug Nation! Here’s hoping 2024 brings you health, wealth, and great happiness. We’re so happy we’re all still hanging out here — and I thought it might be fun to revisit some of my favorite posts of 2023, in case you missed them!
– After awards season concluded, I wrapped up the awards season wardrobe of best actress and best supporting actress nominees, along with a smattering of other interesting folks; it was really fun! Here they are:
- Revisiting Ke Huy Quan’s 2023 Awards Season Wardrobe
- Revisiting Jenny Slate’s 2023 Awards Season Wardrobe
- Revisiting Andrea Riseborough’s 2023 Awards Season Wardrobe. (OMG remember what a palaver that nomination was?)
- Revisiting Jamie Lee Curtis’s 2023 Awards Season Wardrobe
- Revisiting Cate Blanchett’s 2023 Awards Season Wardrobe
- Revisiting Kerry Condon’s 2023 Awards Season Wardrobe
- Revisiting Ana de Armas’s 2023 Awards Season
- Revisiting Hong Chau’s 2023 Awards Season Wardrobe
- Revisiting Stephanie Hsu’s Awards Season Wardrobe
- Revisiting Angela Bassett’s Awards Season Wardrobe
- Revisiting Michelle Yeoh’s Winning Awards Season Wardrobe
- Let’s Take a Look at Michelle Williams’s Awards Season Wardrobe
– Related, Andrea Riseborough’s career red carpet retrospective was FASCINATING.
– Seth Rogen has turned into a stealth red carpet force; his red carpet retrospective is one of my favorite pieces from last year.
– I loved looking at everything Margot Robbie wore to promote Barbie.
– Julia Fox was a RIDE this year; this was maybe the wackiest thing she wore, but her entire archive is a treat. (PS: We read her memoir so you don’t have to….but you should, because it was quite good.)
– I LOVED writing these Unhinged Things for Cat Lovers, and for Dog Lovers shopping posts.
– The Met Gala afterparty round-up was a treat.
– Folks brought DRAAAAAMA to the Met Gala itself and also its beige carpet was hideous this year.
– Rita Ora rendered me speechless!
– Lily Allen gave us a real stage-door runway show.
– Cannes happened! Here’s Everything Brie Larson Wore as a jury member! (It was all Chanel.) We also looked at everything Fan Bing Bing wore to Cannes and it was THRILLING.
– Speaking of Cannes, we revisited the 1964 premiere there of The Birds. It got DERANGED.
– We also revisited the 2003 VMAs, the premiere of the first Austin Powers movie, and the 1986 Emmy Awards.
– The front row of Marni was really entertaining.
– This runway collection wondered if you want to wear a mushroom on your head!
– As always, wild hats were worn to Royal Ascot.
– And sportfaces were made at Wimbledon.
That’s just a tip of the iceberg — it was a fun year, even with the strikes! For which, by the way, we ALSO have a whole archive if you want to revisit everyone’s casual picketwear. Here’s to even more fun, and fewer necessary labor actions, in 2024. (PLEASE, studios, give IATSE a good deal so that we don’t have to go through all that again in March. People need to work!)
