In terms of clothing, Grandmas across America have a lot of advice. Among my favorites:
“Wear a lined bra so your nipples don’t show. You’ll look like a lady.”
“Never get rid of rhinestone jewelry, it always comes back into style.”
and the all-time classic,
“Be yourself.”
That last one was on display for all the world to see last night in Hollywood at the Academy Awards. You can always tell who feels comfortable in their gown, and who got talked into a dress she was told would be “faaaaabulous” by some stylist trying to get her name in the paper.
We had a lot of love last night for Melissa McCarthy, nominee for best supporting actress for “Bridesmaids.” They were ripping her dress to shreds on E! during their pre-show when her stylist came on and told the story of how they collaborated on the dress, and how happy she was with it, and how she loved it more than any dress she’d ever had. And she looked great. Why? She was happy. She was comfortable. She was being herself. (Note to Grandma McCarthy – don’t worry. She looked like a lady).
Make sure you feel like yourself in your wedding dress. Whether or not you’re a lady? That’s up to you.
