It’s that time of year again! Like always I was excited about the red carpet fashion, but I was also excited about Billy Crystal hosting the show!
My Picks for Best Dressed: (Photos Courtesy JustJared and Zimbio)
Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace. This is not my favorite Oscar gown she’s worn (remember her last year?!) but she is so beautiful.
Gweneth Paltrow in Tom Ford – OMG. Only a superhuman can wear a cape and look that good.
Cameron Diaz in Gucci
Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton
Viola Davis in Vera Wang
Sandra Bullock in Marchesa – Okay, it’s not the best dress and the fitting is a little off, but there is an understated elegance to this.
Penelope Cruz in Armani Prive. She looks like a Spanish Princess.
Octavia Spencer in Tadashi Shoji
Natalie Portman in Christian Dior Haute Couture – Vintage Perfection
Rooney Mara in Givenchy
Emma Stone in Giambattista Valli – She looks beautiful, but it reminds me too much of the Balenciaga dress worn by Nicole Kidman.
Stacey Kiebler in Marchesa with a very desirable arm accessory.
Milla Jovovich in Elie Saab
Rose Byrne in Vivienne Westwood
Tina Fey in Carolina Herrera
Her Majesty Meryl Streep in Lanvin
My Picks for “Hire a New Stylist” – Often we see celebrities labeled “worst dressed” on the cover of magazines the next morning. Firstly, “worst” is subjective. Secondly, many of these celebs pay stylists to dress them, so let’s point fingers in the right direction. It’s their job to study trends and find items for clients that are risk-taking, yet don’t put them at risk of being ridiculed for years to come. So if they don’t get it right, they must be held accountable! FIRE THEM or give them a real stern warning. k. that’s all.
Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad- Why?! She is usually an Oscar favorite! I mean I would probably never get a chance to wear a dress like this, but I just don’t find it to be Oscars-worthy. Then again, I’m writing this in my pajamas.
Shailene Woodley in Valentino - It’s not a bad dress, but she is 20 years old. How about something a little more young and hip?
Berenice Bejo in Elie Saab – She looks so washed out, in contrast to how beautiful she looked in The Artist.
Kristen Wiig in J. Mendel- Okay this isn’t close to being “bad,” but it’s too “beachy” for the Oscars.
Anna Faris
Ellie Kemper in Armani Prive – Too much sparkle for my taste.
Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen- I like this dress, but something about her hair and the seriousness of the dress doesn’t match up.
