As a huge fan of
the show Gossip Girl and an even bigger fan of Ed Westwick (come on he
does slimy Chuck Bass perfectly, but in real life he has the most
gorgeous British accent, delish!) I realize the guy must be very secure
in himself to walk the runway in a skirt, or a kilt actually. Now I
have a very sexy Scottish cousin who sports a kilt (the Murray clan to
be exact) with pride so I know that the kilt happens to be more
complicated than some people realize. It wraps around, it comes with
accessories and if not worn right you might be showing more of your
bits and pieces than you'd like. So props to Ed. But why, you ask, is
he sporting this tan and beige ensemble down the catwalk? For the 7th
Annual "Dress to Kilt" Charity Fashion Show hosted by one of everyones
favorite Scots, Sir Sean Connery. Ed was joined on the runway by other
celebs (both Scots and non-Scots alike) like Andie MacDowell, Bernie
Williams, Mike Meyers and even Miss Scotland Stephanie Willemse. The
event, hosted by Friends of Scotland, kicks off Tartan Week here in New
York City and goes to raise money for Paralysed Veterans of America,
the Wounded Warriors Organisation and the Erskine Hospital in Scotland.
Not bad. Braveheart would be proud.
