Carolina Herrera designer Wes Gordon admits that he imagined a trip to the Riviera in creating Carolina Herrera’s resort 2023 collection. Visions of ‘90s supermodels shot by Helmut newton danced in his imagination. Grace Kelly in ‘To Catch a Thief’ appeared at random moments in his creative brain.

Sundresses and shirtwaist dresses loomed large, as pinstripes begged to go flirty. The resulting romantic femininity is straight out of a Cannes premiere with key updates, noted by Vogue. Yes, the silhouettes are softer. “We took the crinoline out,” says Gordon.

Approachability and ease are key. So are references to French and Italian glamour and the reality that very strong women can be both femme fatales and freedom fighters.

Consider international rights lawyer Amal Clooney who refuses to stand down to dictators and ISIS rapists. Clooney looks utterly fabulous wearing Carolina Herrera.

Tessa Thompson: Carolina Herrera Freedom Fighter

Consider Wes Gordon’s Met Gala 2022 date Tessa Thompson, who played Valkryie in ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ . . . and Tyler Perry’s ‘For Colored Girls’ [2010] . . . and Samantha White in ‘Dear White People’ [2014] . . . and civil rights activist Diane Nash in ‘Selma’ [2014].

Not only is Carolina Herrera brand-friend Tessa Thompson a Riviera-loving glamazon. She will soon emerge in her new Valkyrie superhero role as King of New Asgard. The king will begin searching for her queen, revealing herself to be MCU's [Marvel Cinematic Universe] first major LGBTQ character.

Flipped Out in Florida

Traditional values crusader and Florida governor Ron DeSantis, will just lose his presidential-wannabe, round-up-all-the-perverts, goddess-damn mind when Tessa Thompson, as King of New Asgard, launches her MCU queen search!

We ladies in our Carolina Herrera, garden-party frocks will smile politely, because looks are deceiving. In reality, we are ready to rumble with Republicans, over their control-our-bodies perversions.

“For goddess sake, Anne, it’s Peony Girl. Would you calm down! This is a 2023 Carolina Herrera Resort Collection discussion. Why are you declaring war on Ron DeSantis? Are you bored or what? I’m sure Carolina Herrera is very popular in Palm Beach. Stop causing trouble in fashion-world.”

Anne: “Fine, Peony Girl. Fine, fine, fine . . . . but it’s good trouble, Peony. And we need those Palm Beach ladies to vote for protecting Tessa Thompson’s rights as King of New Asgard . . . . We need everybody in the fight.
Flower prints and bare shoulders have a way of making us look not-dangerous.”
Peony Girl: “This is true, Anne, but let your people go now.
You try to commandeer people at every digital street corner, but this post is a review of Carolina Herrera’s exquisitely modern 2023 resort collection for your beloved smart sensuality women.
We’re calling it quits now, Anne. Consider this an intervention. The end.”
