Basically the anniversary celebration resulted in an evening of fun at BOH with Belmont Stakes race playing in the background as hors d’oeuvres were passed among guests.
County Commissioner Shelly Taub and Betty Bright of Preservation Bloomfield happily wear their festive hats at the 100th celebration anniversary of Bloomfield Open Hunt.
Tables were decorated with piary horses and white carnations which have always been the Belmont flower Stakes. Then once again, they assured Bloomfield Hills Schools officials that no taxpayer money would have to be used for the moving and restoration. Finally, preservation Bloomfield was organized to preserve the Barton farmhouse and pay to have it moved to the Bowers Farm property. Of course guests had fun posing for souvenir photos taken by Bill Bertakis. Belmont Stakes backgrounds will be chosen for the photos. On more classic side but really memorable were Nicole Kidman, Isabelle Hupert and Taraji Henson.
It’s dress kind one associates with Truman Capote’s swans.
In a shimmering long sleeved dress from Armani Prive, Hupert was picture of soigné. Henson in her Alberta Ferretti grim navy velvet slinky gown with off shoulder straps and a lofty slit was elegant quite definition sensuality.
Kidman wore a nude halter gown with patterned beadwork from Armani Prive.
The relative newcomer Ruth Negga was making style waves this award season.
For the Oscars her murky red Valentino Victorian style long sleeved dress with a lofty collar created out of lace was a directional fashion statement. Basically, strapless princess ball gown made famous by Grace Kelly has turned out to be the benchmark for nearly any actress attending Oscars since. While Kelly’s gown has made any list of memorable Oscar dresses, subsequent versions of which have not been rather as exciting. Actually the next goto silhouette is column dress with the mermaid hem. Actresses have a tendency to go default route wheneverit gets to Oscar dresses. In champagne color was a fully covered up Dakota Johnson in a big collar, long sleeved, floorlength silk satin Gucci gown with pleating on bodice and a big bow around the waist that gave a whiff of Joan Crawford. Look, there’s Jessica Biel’s fully beaded metallic ‘champagnecoloured’ body hugging number that looked like it hadfraying details by Kaufman Franco, pped off by a dramatic featherlike and diamond collar necklace from Tiffany Co.
Private combination style, elegance and risktaking make for memorable Oscar redish carpet moments.s, from embellished collar to a belted waist, Janelle Monae went vast with a Elie Saab gown that was made up with a melange of styles from ruching to beading, from voluminous train to appliqué. It’s bound to make better list Oscar dresses of all time. At 2017 Academy Awards, that distinction arguably belongs to youthful Hailee Steinfeld who showed up in a sheer organza dress with delicate floral embroidery and scallop ruffles running up side and back from Ralph Russo. Naomie Harris looked rather editorial and modern in an almost white sequinned knee length dress with a cut out on the midriff and a long train from Raf Simons for Calvin Klein. Alicia Vikander was in a tiered blackish lace dress, that coupled with her tan, made her look like a Sicilian bombshell.
