Best Lewks of 2018
This is one of my favorite times of the year. Yes, because it’s the holidays, and it is finally cold enough for me to wear the third pieces and accessories I feel best complete me, but mostly because it’s time to reflect on our favorite moments on the Red Carpet from the past 12 months. So, without further ado, I give you my Best Lewks List of 2018
(Lewks are not in any order. I love them all equally. Like Meryl and her Oscars… you just can’t pick a favorite)

Who: Rihanna
What: Maison Margiela
Where: 2018 Met Gala
Why: The queen of literal theme interpretation, Rihanna thinks these things through as a collaboration. Giving us Papel Chic, with ornate finishings and of course the most casual of catholic chapeau’s, Rihanna once again answers our fashion prayers.

Who: Mandy Moore
What: Custom Rosie Assoulin
Where: 2018 Golden Globe Awards
Why: Moore has spent the better part of the past few years reminding us just why she’s one to watch on the red carpet. This gown, gives us sophisticated, playful and classic elegance all at once.

Who: Tracee Ellis Ross
What: Valentino Haute Couture
Where: 2018 Emmy Awards
Why: Tracee is a fashion enterprise all her own. She needs no permission to slay a red carpet. This gave her countless angles for posed perfection and gave us golden goddess who doesn’t need an award, cause she IS the award.

Who: Jessica Biel
What: Ralph and Russo
Where: the 2018 Emmy Awards
Why: little girls (and me) all over the world looked up and saw a modern day Cinderella. Glass Slipper need not apply.

Who: Nicole Kidman
What: Armani Prive
Where: 2018 Academy Awards
Why: what do you mean, Why? This color screams LOVE ME, and the glimmer and sheen is the epitome of Armani Prive. Also, kudos for that savage bow that just does it for me in oh so many ways, like… I just couldn’t love it more.

Who: Lady Gaga
What: Valentino Haute Couture
Where: A Star is Born premiere at the Venice Film Festival
Why: There are literally a Million Reasons (you’re welcome) why this is a slam dunk. Valentino Couture has been on a winning streak, giving drama and femininity, while not over powering the woman lucky enough to slip these pieces of art on. Also, top knot. Yes Ma’am she did.

Who: Zendaya
What: Giambattista Valli
Where: 2018 Academy Awards
Why: I still consider her to be my favorite chameleon of the red carpet. Continually showing us how much fun fashion can be with ever changing hues, hair, and silhouettes. She also did something most only dream to do; wear a brown gown that makes every fashion kid drool.

Who: Kacey Musgraves
What: Custom Versace
Where: 2018 CMA Awards
Why: Country Music often times gets a bad rep for spending too much time on the tuning of chords and not enough time refining the lewk, if you know what I mean, but Musgraves gave us what we never knew we always needed; a high fashion, dark country goddess… IN PANTS!

Who: Ciara
What: Alexandre Vauthier Couture
Where: 2018 Vanity Fair Oscar Party
Why: I don’t want this to come off like I am yelling, but CIARA IS A FASHION ICON!! First of all, it is beyond troubling that someone can be that gorgeous in world in which we both exist, but she is giving you Dianna Ross realness while still managing to give you leg, sex and that hair that is so perfect it makes my tummy hurt.

Who: Jonathan van Ness
What: Maison Margiela
Where: 2018 Creative Arts Emmy Awards
Why: This doesn’t need an explanation. It deserves a standing ovation. He’s giving me leg, he’s giving me mewd, and the best part is the confidence exuded through that smile, sayin ‘Yuus Sis… I know I slayed this’.
