Long time Gok Wan fan here. So it was an exciting day when I got to head out to Westfield Miranda to check out his show………………….from the front row. But before I left home I was having some last minute doubts about what to wear, would I get cold, should I wear pants and so on. In the end I settled on black pants and here I am before I did my makeup. Donny picked this Sheike top at my makeover earlier in the year and the earrings and silver cuff are from Colette Accessories. All from Westfield, of course. I am so in love with this top.
And what a show Gok puts on. If you ever get the chance to go and see Gok live, do it! He is just so entertaining and we were laughing the entire time. Everyone was just so excited to see him live on stage. Myself included.
When we arrived at the show, Donny was working the crowd for half an hour or so. There were videos to watch, shoppers were selected to come up on stage and have their body shape worked out and we practised cheering for Gok.
And then Gok comes out and the crowd goes wild. Wild. Yes, I was ‘woohoo-ing’ throughout the show. Gok talked for a while and then it was time to pick some makeover candidates from the crowd. Yes just random shoppers who were out for a shop or to come and watch the show were picked for a makeover.
Gok would shout out some advice to backstage of what he wanted done – sometimes he’d say extra security for this one if they were a little too starstruck. Behind the scenes there was hair, makeup and Westfield stylists to create the looks for each of the selected shoppers. And the transformations were amazing! In fact look at the ladies walking on the stage – they looked like professional models.
Just have fun with fashion. There are no rules, colour blocking is a huge trend this season (but you already knew that) and skirts are huge. All types of skirts and there are no rules with skirt lengths. Don’t be afraid of colour. Accessorise your outfits. Nip in your waist with a belt. Show off your best bits. Oh and get your bra fitted properly, it makes a huge difference but most people don’t.
It really was an entertaining hour and after the show Gok came out and signed books, gave lots of hugs and photos and I was lucky enough to get a photo with him too. Unlucky for me I have a double chin in it! He really did have time for everyone. Oh and I gave him a bag of Caramello koalas! I almost forgot to give them to him until after I had my photo – I would have been kicking myself on the way home if I had forgotten.
You are such a classic, Corrie! Your sheer enthusiasm just bubbles through this post. And you look sensational! Gorgeous top or not, you look a million dollars. I’m so pleased for you, Sweetheart. J x
Oooo this looked like so much fun Corrie. The ladies all look lovely after their makeover. I NEED to get myself some espadrilles, pronto! They are such gorgeous shoes… sure, they’re not practical, but hey ;o)
That is so cute you gave Gok Caramello Koalas, I think that is something he will certainly remember xo
I love the colour of that blouse and the sleeves. It suits you very well. It seems like you had a lot of fun. Congrats for meeting him! I am also a fan and would just love to get this chance!

Hi! – I think I may be your only reader in Zambia! (although I’m from Sydney). A friend told me about your blog when I was wondering how to get started, so I’ve read your posts for quite a while but never commented before. I had to today, as the experience you just had meeting Gok at Westfield was so different from the day I just had, when the local supermarket had no power…. it will make me appreciate all the basics when I get back home. Have a great weekend. Julia
What a great post! You looked fantastic!
really enjoyed reading this post. But you looked too beautiful to get a makeover! Next time where something yuck. That top is amazing and a great colour.
