And Oscar was his name-o.
You knew it was coming!
Academy Awards fashion roundup!
Yayyyy!
First of all, I thought Ellen was really funny, she didn't try too hard. That whole myspace picture things was hilarious, as was the, "Leonardo DiCaprio. I don't have a joke, I just thought the ladies might like to look at you. Look at you!" Urg, I can't seem to remember the other funny stuff. I can't believe lost! I'm glad the guy from Little Miss Sunshine won, though, but I can't believe he put his Oscar on the ground. An Oscar's like an American flag. It does NOT TOUCH THE GROUND, you hear? Ohhhh and the whole Anne Hathaway/Emily Blunt/ Meryl Streep thing was good, Meryl's face was sooooo funny!!!!! And I loved how they had the living diaromas of the costumes, much cooler than seeing them in film.
Ok, I think that's it. Let's get on with the good stuff!
The Good:
Gwyneth Paltrow:
My personal best dressed of the night. I thought her Zac Posen was gorgeous. I loved the color, which was more vibrant on television. And the pleats were beautiful. And I loved her hair and the color of her lips as well. A+++
Cate Blanchett;
She is a personal fashion icon of mine. She takes risks and is never safe. This gown in Armani, and I love it. I love the shoulder, the color, and the beading at the bottom is extraordinary.
Reese Witherspoon:
Screw Ryan! She looks HOT! I love how, post-breakup, her hair is sleeker and straighter, less princess-y. Her dress is be-yoooo-tiful. I love the color, which looks great with her hair, and the flounces on the bottom.
Helen Mirren:
Helen Mirren looks three times as hot as girls half her age. She is so classy and elegant. The blush/champagne color is gorgeous, and the cleavage is sexy, but totally age-appropriate. Total score.
Isla Fisher:
Sacha Baron Coheen's (Borat) fiancee looks killer. The emerald color kicks ass with her beautiful red hair.
Emily Blunt:
I think Emily is an up-and-coming fashion icon. The color of this dress is perfect, and I actually like the metallic on her. And I'm not usually a big fan of metallic.
Nicole Kidman:
A lot of people didn't like this dress, and I'm not quite sure why. The bow is no where NEAR the size of Charlize Theron's monstrosity last year. And the red of this dress is so much prettier than the ugly olive of Charlize's. And Nicole's hair is better than Charlize's awful bouffant. And this dress fabric is much better than the awful satin gross-ness of Charlize's. So basically everything about this is 8979879812 times better. But seriously, you could put Nicole Kidman in a paper bag and she would still look gorgeous. She's like a fairy princess, with that long, straight, blond hair and her absolutely incredible pale, flawless skin. I love this dress. I like the train too, I think it really adds to it.
Leonardo DiCaprio:
My best dressed man was our favorite adorable ruffian, Leo. Though, I must say, I think he was much better looking younger (a la Titanic, Romeo + Juliet...), then now. He's all grown up, and I'm not sure I like it. But anyway. His voice is exactly the same, and I always think of Titanic when I hear it. Ohhh, happy memories. His hair's a little weird, but his suit is killer. Bam.
Kate Winslet:
Speaking of Titanic, who doesn't love Kate Winslet? I thinks it's awesome how she has curves. I love the mint green color of this dress, and the bottom. The only complaint I have is that it looks a bit as if her boobs are in two slings.
The "Ehhhhhh....."s
Jessica Biel:
For some reason, it's just too pink for her. And that belt is really tacky.
Rachel Weisz:
The color and bottom of this dress are gorgeous, but the bodice is a little weird. That brooch kind of annoys me, and the necklace does not work. She could've gone with out it.
Beyonce;
At least is wasn't that horrible, horrible, tacky, glittery number she wore to the Golden Globes. And she doesn't look like she was rubbed down with baby oil this time either. The color's pretty, but it's just kind of ordinary. I don't know. I hate the slit, too. I don't know. It's just an "Ehhhh...."
Naomi Watts:
Pretty, yes, but it just didn't do it for me. The whole thing is a little too 19th-century costume drama movie. The color doesn't quite work on her, and the back was really ugly.
Anne Hathaway:
That bow is awful. Really really bad. But the bottom is pretty.
And the just plain bad:
Cameron Diaz:
Ok, how did she get an invite to the Oscars in the first place? But anyway, I just don't like this dress. The bottom is so weird. I hate the bodice as well. Plus, SOMEone went a LITTLE overboard on the self tanner. I like her better blonde.
Jennifer Hudson:
The shimmery fabric does nothing for her shape. Shimmer and curves do not mix. Plus, what's with that jacket? She looks like a Martian.
Kirsten Dunst:
Worst dressed of the night. She disappointed so badly. First of all, those bangs just don't work with the dress, at all. And that top is terrible, she looks like she's wearing a translucent polo shirt. Through the hips is awful, I hate that fabric. And WHAT is with the bottom? It's like weird spouty-fountain-feather...things. Bad bad bad.
Whew! That took me awhile!

to each his/her own. i think her back here, other pix, & on film is about as gorgeous as anyone's. but you did not show it so how would we know. you are probably just fishing for something after your prejudice against yellow. stay away from her painted veil, 21grams, & mulholland drive. they all show her back & painted veil has YELLOW people.
I actually liked Nicole Kidman's red dress too...it really stood out against the crowd and there is something undeniably attractive about that red bow and those red red lips. Anne Hathaway's big black bow dress was my least favourite--ahhh, it's so horrendous. And I also completely agree with Kirsten Dunst's gown. It's just so frumpy and so much is going on, feathers, sequins, it's just too much.
COMPLETELY agree with everything, except nicole kidman's dress. she looked like she'd put on a beautiful red dress, looked in the mirror, thought, "hmm" and stuck on a big decorative hideous shoulder pad. and i think the color of kate winslet's dress did nothing for her.
but yes, cate emily and reese look STUNNING and ellen is hilarious.
great blog!
Cameron's dress was by far the worst. But I loved Kirsten's dress, it was so 1920s flapper-esque! Rachel Weicz's dress's fabric was gorgeous, I want to buy one like it.
