Fashion Blog

You are probably familiar with what started as the summer replacement for Idol, but has become its own little phenom, So You Think You Can Dance. In my house we are obsessive watchers, not only for the truly talented and infinitely cut dancers of both genders, but for the tall drink of water that is your host each week: Ms. Cat Deeley.

Armed with legs to the ceiling and a charming Brit accent, Ms. Deeley is known in my house (mostly by my husband) as the Pretty Kitty. I have to admit, I am only slightly less admiring of the Cat than the hubby seeing as she is sharp, charming and never lets a live show go awry… unless Mary Murphy screams too much, but that’s another blog. 

Being the fashion hound that I am, I love watching what Cat wears and often try to play “guess that designer.”  I loved the white tux she sported earlier this season that owed everything to the YSL tradition of le smoking, and nothing to Celine Dion’s awful Oscars outfit from about one million years ago, remember?  Pictured above is one of my other picks this season, a classic Dior LBD mixed with vintage jewelry and Sergio Rossi shoes.  

I have noticed many of her outfits combine high end designer with vintage or more low-key labels.  This is the mix that I always strive for in my own closet and one reason why I think Cat is always a stunner. Well, that and her sweet den-mother attitude that always seems to comfort the dancers who have been booted off on any given Thursday. Her attitude truly shows her style and grace, even if she can’t dance.
