Red carpet fashion notes

Our intrepid IBMA fashionistas, Katy Daley and Jen Hitt have sent their first outfit of note. Jen says that they spoke with Richard Gelardin, attending from Alaska, who appeared in a striking outfit, complete with Dave Little boots, a calico vest with a fishing lyre pattern (which his mother made for him back in 1954) and a “half breed” hat – beaver brim and a straw body.

Congratulations, Richard, for catching their eye.

UPDATE 9:18: They’ve now spotted Connie Leigh, who wrote Song Of The Year nominee Sadie’s Got Her New Dress On, with striking platinum hair and a fabulous red satin halter dress.
