Last night’s Broadway premiere of Disaster! at the theatre was anything but! Fresh, fabulous, and fun was exactly what was going on onstage…and on the red carpet as well, with witty nods to the mega-hits of the 1970s!

Tina Fey! How does she manage to be so riotously funny and so completely lovely, too? In black leather leggings, a black lace tunic with peplum, and mile-high stilettos, it was so refreshing to see Tina in a comfy and casual ensemble, and yet still so classy!

Vicki Clark made an entrance that heralded the spring warm-up in her strawberry red three-quarter-sleeved dress. Simple and stylish and fitted over her sleek frame, this is how to be cool, comfortable, and classy with no muss, no fuss! Sexy and sophisticated.

Laura Osnes and Nathan Johnson showed how a handsome married couple can compliment each other on the red carpet! Laura was so elegant and understated in a tunic dress of dusky night-sky blue velvet, and somehow Nathan found a suit in exactly the same shade and razor-sharp.

Geneva Carr brought some “edge” to the opening night in her long black tulle skirt, striped boat-neck top, and black leather biker jacket! It’s great to see a girl bring something bold and something new to a night out on the town! Thank you, Geneva!

Lesli Margherita! Every time I see Lesli at a Broadway opening night, I’m taken with her sexy, sassy spirit! She’s all fizziness and fun and you can see it in how she “works the runway”! Last night she featured fitted, flash, and flesh! The auburn hair, red lip, and all that confidence ruled!

Kerry Butler brought Golden-Age Hollywood twinkle in a sequined mini-dress riding as high as decently possible on those famously beautiful legs! The Art Deco-esque patterning and the champagne shimmer worked perfectly with her blond ringlets and baby blue eyes! An A+++ for a gal who knows her palette!

Jennifer Simard was chic-as-could-be in a classic black cocktail dress by Shoshanna. The jeweled collar gave it just the perfect sparkle to go with Jen’s beautiful hair and smoky eyes! And what a contrast to her brilliantly-bewimpled, gambling and guitar-playing nun earlier in the evening! Hallelujah!

Jack Plotnick, Seth Rudetsky and Adam Pascal led the way for the men last night. Nowadays, guys going to Broadway openings and red carpet events are really taking their grooming, their styling, and their wardrobes very seriously! As a matter of fact, it’s the men now who give the disapproving looks to other guys who show up shlunky to the theatre! Turn about is definitely fair play!

Rachel York arrived as if it was a red carpet in 1970s Hollywood in a white chiffon “goddess gown” from Halston. The very au courant plunging neckline, the tiny chain-link belt, and her stole managed to reference “now & nostalgia” all at the same time!

I’d like to close by answering a question I’m always asked by readers on “Fashion Dos and Don’ts,” specifically about referencing past decades and trends in your own wardrobe. Last night we saw how the 1970s have made a comeback, and not just in the “camp-factor.” There’s a genuine over-all nostalgia for the great disco era that is perfectly on trend… It’s glorious music and free-wheeling sexy style, the newly empowered woman of the Women’s Lib Movement… It’s all showing up again… everywhere. Is it okay to put some of that flavor in your fashion? I have three words for you! Yes! Yes! And YES! #andscene.
