On this star-studded episode of Fashion Thursdays, Diane Gilman recaps the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet the only way she knows how — with candor, fashion authority, and a dash of humor. From high glamour to high drama, Diane breaks down who wore it best, who missed the mark, and why confidence (and tailoring) make or break a look.

She praises Teyana Taylor’s jaw-dropping Schiaparelli masterpiece, Amal Clooney’s effortless vintage Balmain moment, and Helen Mirren’s artful Stella McCartney gown at 80. But not everyone made the best-dressed list — Diane calls out Ariana Grande’s misstep, stiff Louis Vuitton disasters, and skim-milk-colored gowns that beg for editing.

It’s a blend of red-carpet celebration, sharp critique, and insider insights on what works for women at every stage of life.

What you’ll hear in this episode

• The evening’s biggest fashion triumphs: Teyana Taylor’s Schiaparelli, Kate Hudson’s timeless Michael Kors, and Helen Mirren proving 80 is elegance’s prime.
• The most disappointing looks — from ill-fitting black gowns to overdesigned Louis Vuitton and painfully washed-out whites.
• The power of color and confidence: why pale pinks, duchess satins, and vintage metallics won the night.
• How women like Amal Clooney and Jennifer Lopez continue to redefine modern glam.
• Diane’s behind-the-scenes insight on designers, stylists, and the unspoken rules of red-carpet reinvention.

This week on Fashion Thursdays, Diane Gilman pays tribute to two icons who defined opposite ends of the fashion spectrum — Brigitte Bardot and Diane Keaton. One celebrated sensuality and freedom, the other embodied layers, intellect, and individuality — yet both completely changed how women saw themselves in clothing.

Diane takes listeners from 1950s Paris to 1970s New York, exploring how Bardot’s tousled glamour, effortless sexuality, and sun-kissed French rebellion redefined modern femininity, while Keaton’s menswear revolution made “covered up” chic, powerful, and timeless.

From Bardot’s gingham dresses and bikinis to Keaton’s ties and fedoras, this episode is a celebration of opposites — the confidence to embrace who you are, no matter how much (or how little) you choose to show.

What you’ll hear in this episode

• How Brigitte Bardot transformed European femininity with natural beauty, tousled hair, and bold sensuality.
• The cultural clash between 1950s America’s prim femininity (Mamie Eisenhower) and France’s liberated allure.
• How Bardot’s influence turned a bikini and a black eyeliner flick into symbols of revolution and confidence.
• The rise of Diane Keaton and how her authentic, thrifted androgyny in Annie Hall changed fashion forever.
• Why Keaton’s covered-up menswear style still empowers women to define beauty on their own terms.
• How fashion’s polar opposites—Bardot’s exposure and Keaton’s restraint—continue to shape modern women’s identity.

In this fiery Fashion Thursdays episode, Diane Gilman takes on today’s “copy-paste culture” of beauty—where youth, sameness, and conformity seem to have replaced individuality, edge, and true personal style. From Marilyn Monroe and Rita Hayworth to the modern “Mormon Housewives” aesthetic, Diane traces Hollywood’s shift from celebrating distinct beauty to rewarding uniformity.

She asks the big question: Why have we stopped valuing difference? And what does that mean for women over 50 who don’t see themselves represented anywhere on screen or social media?

Diane shares personal stories—from dressing Cher in her early days, to realizing even major media outlets push sameness over originality—and concludes with a rallying cry for self-expression and style authenticity. It’s part cultural critique, part love letter to women brave enough to stand out.
