An Ode to Stanford Blatch’s Style

Published

on

Willie Garson, who memorably played Stanford Blatch, a talent agent and best friend of Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City, passed away at age 57 after a battle with cancer. Here, Chelsea Fairless and Lauren Garroni, co-founders of the viral Instagram account Every Outfit on Sex & the City, pay tribute to the character’s inimitable sense of style.

Chelsea Fairless: We’ve always stanned Stanny. His fashion sense is simply iconic. A couple of years ago, this podcast came out called Origins, which goes deep into different television shows, and in the one about Sex and the City, Willie Garson said that he was Pat Field’s project because the wardrobe department was always getting a lot of pushback from production about the girls’ outfits—“Carrie looks too crazy, or the girls look too crazy”—but with Stanford, they just didn’t give a shit, so they let Pat Field do whatever she wanted with him. That’s why you get these incredible, flamboyant outfits that have held up so well.

Lauren Garroni: Suiting, color, patterns.

CF: Monochromatic looks were a big thing for Stanford. I think he subscribed to the Jenna Lyons ethos of “leopard is a neutral,” except for him, it’s Liberty prints.

LG: Neon green is a neutral!

CF: He was always very diligent about matching his accessories: the pageboy hat matches the tie, matches the pocket square, matches the shoes.

LG: I was just watching “All That Glitters” in season four, and [Stanford] is wearing a three-piece neon green suit when he catches Carrie having brunch with the shoe importer—who we were told by our audience is Murray from The White Lotus—thinking he’s a straight man. He goes, “I’m green with envy!” And she goes, “Yes you are!” Any outfit that’s tied to a Michael Patrick King pun is a good look.

CF: I love that Stanford look where he’s wearing a mustard yellow plaid suit and tiny little red Elton John-style glasses that are really fabulous. I also have a soft spot for his wedding look in Sex and the City 2. Even though it’s not Gucci, I think it exemplifies Alessandro Michele’s vision for androgynous menswear.

LG: And the Pastis outfit with the furry Kangol pageboy hat that’s neon pink and matches the shirt, with the acid green scarf.

CF: One thing is for sure: Stanford today is more relevant than ever. This is his moment. Menswear is so flamboyant now, and he was really on the ground floor of that.

LG: I’d dub his look “Urban Dandyism,” with a John Waters sense of humor.

CF: It’s an amalgamation of British, prep, and the general Pat Field worldview, which is that people in Manhattan exist that wear this many bright colors.

LG: And clashing patterns.

CF: Stanford’s style is always consistent. Andy Warhol once said something to the effect of, “Don’t change your style or your hair because then you never age,” and it’s really true. He’s looked the exact same over the years.

LG: I remember the first Stanford [Instagram] post we ever did: “We all judge. That’s our hobby. Some people do arts and crafts. We judge.”

CF: Perfectly wise.

LG: And his quote, “It’s straight love that’s become closeted.” That one’s got a darker edge to the dialogue, but he’s always funny. We can’t forget that Stanford is a real person in Candace Bushnell’s life, too.

CF: He was one of the original characters in the column—a real OG. Everyone was trying to figure out who the real Stanford Blatch was in its heyday, before the book came out.

LG: Male fashion has definitely come around to meet Stanford’s style. Now, men—specifically straight men—are a lot less afraid to wear color.

CF: He found his look and he stuck with it. Bless him.

Jennifer Lopez Joined Ben Affleck In L.A. With Kids For Thanksgiving

Jennifer Lopez Joined Ben Affleck In L.A. With Kids For Thanksgiving


On Wednesday night, Jennifer Lopez arrived in Los Angeles with her 13-year-old twins Max and Emme. The family was likely there to join Lopez’s boyfriend, Ben Affleck, for the Thanksgiving holiday. Lopez recently returned from the much colder climate of British Columbia, Canada, where she was filming her latest project, The Mother.

J. Lo touched down in her private jet wearing a teddy fur coat from Coach’s Autumn/Winter 2019 collection, and a pair of Ugg boots. Classic airplane outfit, celebrity style. Lopez and Affleck originally dated in 2002 and broke up in 2004. Their romance was rekindled earlier this year, soon after Lopez ended her relationship with baseball player Alex Rodriguez. The new couple went official in July, while celebrating Lopez’s 52nd birthday abroad.

Affleck’s most recent relationship with Ana de Armas ended in January after about a year together. He had divorced ex-wife Jennifer Garner in 2015 after being married for almost a decade. Garner and Affleck had three daughters, Violet, Seraphina, and Sam.

Before traveling back to the U.S., Lopez posted a story to Instagram Reels about how grateful she was to be headed home.

“Hey everybody, it’s my last day here shooting on The Mother out in Smithers in the snow, it’s been beautiful, but tonight I’m on my way home,” she said, as she walked through the wild landscape in a black coat and beanie.

“I’m so excited for Thanksgiving! I hope everybody has an amazing weekend with their families and their loved ones, there’s so much to be grateful for this year. I’m on my way!”

This is the first major holiday of the year since Lopez and Affleck reunited, so it’s likely to be a big one for both families.

Everlane’s Black Friday Sale is Packed With Winter Essentials

Published

on

This is not a drill: Everlane just kicked off its Black Friday sale. Now through Monday, November 29, the direct-to-consumer brand is offering 20 to 40% off its cozy sweaters, minimalist activewear, and popular jeans. If you’re not super familiar with Everlane, let me spell it out for you: this is a big deal.

The e-tailer might be known for making sustainable, ethically made clothes and accessories at a fair, affordable price, but Everlane rarely has sales beyond its Choose What You Pay section. So, if you want to stock up on cute basics for less, now’s your time to shop.

And, in true Everlane fashion, the brand is taking this opportunity to give back. Everlane is partnering with Rodale Institute and help U.S. farmers transition their farmland to regenerative organic—and donating $15 per order to the cause. A great sale that gives back? I’m sold.

But, hurry! These deals are going to sell out fast, so you won’t want to waste any time filling your e-cart.
