Amy Winehouse Sings the Blues for Fendi

Amy Winehouse sang before 600 A-list guests (including Kanye West, Rihanna, and Jessica Alba) at a Fendi private party for Paris Fashion Week. With a full back up band, Amy performed for 40 minutes. The set included “Rehab,” “Valerie,” and “You Know I’m No Good.”

“She is terrific, a modern icon,” said Karl Lagerfeld, introducing the young singer. “That voice is so smooth, like an old blues singer. And so funny. She is a true entertainer.”

Sporting a chic mash-up of her now legendary Camden look (beehive hairdo, tattoos, exposed bra strap) with Spring Fendi (oversized white logo belt and black pumps), Winehouse wowed the audience with her soulful crooning.

“It just oozes out of her,” said Mary-Kate Olsen of the pop star’s talent. “She is really, really impressive. And she looks good, too.”

After thanking the crowd, Winehouse asked to be booked for more gigs, like birthday parties or weddings. “Actually, not weddings,” said the singer, whose own tumultuous marriage has been tabloid fodder for some time now. “But if you are getting married, congratulations.” Rumor has it that Fendi shuttled Winehouse in on a private jet and shelled out a cool million plus clothes for her performance.

The show went on, despite Amy’s painful skin infection, which caused one side of her face to swell and bruise. Amy is on a round of antibiotics to fight impetigo, a high-infectious  condition that causes pimple-like bumps. Let’s hope Lagerfeld didn’t get too close.
