During the pandemic, I haven’t missed going out as much as I’ve missed the process of getting ready with friends. There’s an intimate rush that comes with the most simple parts of getting ready with a gaggle of confidantes, whether we’re applying lip liner , figuring out what shoe to slip into , or shimmying underwear up over the hips . There’s always music: something Janet, something Madonna, something Mariah. No matter who you are or who you are with, there’s always red-hot camaraderie.
This experience flickered away during the pandemic. Restaurants shuttered. Parties went bye-bye. Nightclubs? Forget it. Yet as the world quietly comes back to life, so has getting ready in groups. Recently, when I was with a few friends who both have killer closets, we took the opportunity to get “fashioned out,” even though we were heading to a very small get-together.
My friend stylist Yohana Lebasi was celebrating her work at the National Gallery in London and wanted to dress to the nines for the occasion. Her reference? A photo of a 20-something-year-old Sofia Coppola wearing a semi-sheer purple lace slip dress that showed off a black thong. Lebasi made the look her own by wearing a fuchsia thong that shone through a vintage Dior dress with the tags still on it.
