I have been a bridesmaid. Fortunately, the outfits were pretty tame. They were cream and black, but I still wouldn't wear them out in public, though.
On every formal visit a child ought to be of the party, by way of provisions for discourse.
My go-to shoes for red-carpet events are usually always black, but I mix between my pointed stilettos and platform heels.
When I went to prom, I wore my hair down. But I love the idea of a long dress with your hair up. It's just gorgeous.
Getting yelled at by a furious woman should be treated as a semiformal occasion.
I wore a pink Betsey Johnson dress to my prom, and I pretty much looked like a pink cupcake. I loved that dress!
I think with black tie, you can't really do too much. I think you have to pretty much stick to the rules on that.
If I'm going to a fancy event, I try to be princess-like.
I think that since it's prom, you should definitely wear a long dress. You can wear a short one anytime! This is the moment when you get to be a princess, and for me, that means a sweetheart neckline, long, then pouf - out and big.
At a formal dinner party, the person nearest death should always be seated closest to the bathroom.
The formal Washington dinner party has all the spontaneity of a Japanese imperial funeral.
You know, I've been attending so many banquets that I know what they're going to serve before I get there.

If you have a guy over, and there's a whole bunch of china from your wedding, it's not a good idea.
Excepting a religious ceremonial, there is no occasion where greater dignity of manner is required of ladies and gentlemen both, than in occupying a box at the opera. For a gentleman especially no other etiquette is so exacting.
There are times to be casual and times to be correct. It's all right to wear a sweater and slacks on a picnic, but they don't belong in the theater or the drawing room.
Mini dresses that have an over skirt of tulle makes it traditional and modern at the same time.
What are men celebrating? They are all on a committee of arrangements, and hourly expect a speech from somebody. God is only the president of the day, and Webster is his orator.
Ideally you do want people to treat you professionally in return, but not everyone necessarily does that. This acting job - it pays very well and you get to live a wonderful lifestyle, but it's something that I love doing, so I want to work with other people who enjoy it as well ... Maybe if I met the Queen I'd be nervous, though I'd probably be more nervous about doing things the right way because it's a very formal occasion.
