Weekend Highlights – Dancing Sharks, Missy Elliott, Lip Sync Battles and Kim’s Sweatshirt

2 Feb

A sport filled weekend with the Australian Open tennis finals and the Super Bowl so while there isn’t any new TV to talk about there are a few highlights of the style and just general ‘what?! amazing!’ I want to mention. Somewhere along the way this took on a bit of a Broad City theme which is on point seeing as I wore my super soft (it really s the softest) Broad City tee this weekend.

First up the moment during the Super Bowl Katy Perry halftime show that looked like we were all taking a collective post-dental surgery trip a la Abbi on last week’s incredible episode of Broad City “Wisdom Teeth” when the dancing sharks appeared.

Missy ElliottDespite the news leaking prior to the Super Bowl that Missy Elliott would be joining Katy Perry at some point during the halftime show; her entrance and those opening beats of “Get Ur Freak On” is still an all the prayer hands emoji moment, surprise or not. The less said about Katy Perry’s awkward dancing during this section the better. However, crazy impressed with Perry’s jumping in stacked heels that was immediately not followed by falling over and breaking her ankle during the Lenny Kravitz section of the performance.

The Tonight Show aired a live Super Bowl special last night including another in the series of lip sync battles with Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart joining Jimmy Fallon. Normally it is the special guests that take the crown but Jimmy Fallon has a surprise up his sleeve that would make Abbi from Broad City very happy indeed.

And finally…

Kim SearsUnnecessary outrage is an internet staple and one of this week’s biggest non-controversy controversies involved Kim Sears and her apparent potty mouth; saying the word fuck and getting caught on camera is uncouth or something like that. Bit of backstory Kim Sears is an artist who is best known for being tennis player Andy Murray’s fiance and column inches about her have in the past been obsessed with when Murray would finally pop the question (now the they have turned their attention to the wedding and babies of course), her amazing hair (it is amazing) and her courtside style (also amazing). So when Kim let out the odd swear people were SHOCKED. Which, urgh. Kim’s choice of Alexander Wang sweatshirt for yesterday’s final (which Murray sadly lost) was the real winner yesterday and Sears gets all the DGAF points. And yes her hair does look fantastic.

Kristen Wiig Covers Elle and a Grey Gardens Fashion First

16 Jul

Kristen Wiig’s Elle cover for the August issue is relaxed cool (with a slight hint of cleav) in a Balenciaga leather jacket, grey tank, jeans and a funky bob.

Kristen Wiig Elle coverIt’s a shot that might not scream summer – particularly the jacket – and it is the editorial inside this edition that breaks ground with a fashion first as the shoot takes place at Grey Gardens; home of socialites Edith and Edie Beale (or Big and Little Edie). Mother and daughter earned icon status thanks to a 1975 documentary that showed their eccentric and reclusive side as they barely left their East Hamptons estate, even as it fell into ruins (HBO made a biopic of the same name in 2009 starring Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore).

This is not only the debut of Grey Gardens as a fashion shoot location, but also the first time it has been shot at since the ’70s documentary. In a billowing Vera Wang Collection Georgette evening robe the first photo below really captures the wistful and eccentric qualities of the former inhabitants.

Kristen Wiig GGIn the interview Wiig talks about comedy versus drama and it’s probably a topic she will be asked about more frequently thanks to her forthcoming films The Skeleton Twins and Welcome to Me (also starring other notable SNL alum Bill Hader and Will Ferrell). Wiig discusses the notion of being pigeon holed and stepping outside of this comfort zone “But I’ve always wanted to do dramatic stuff, to write and direct, do a lot of different things. Comedy is where my heart lies, but there’s also something really satisfying about being able to step away with a small crew, become a character and get to know her for a few months at a time.”
