What did you guys think of the fashions at the Oscars? I noticed lots of deep reds, ruffles, and big flowy dresses.
Here are my faves (click to enlarge):

My Girl Crush,
Kristen Stewart: The dress was BEAUTIFUL, a work of art. Loved that she wore her hair back in an elegant bun with simple makeup. And I thought it was very Kristen to keep the jewelry simple as well - no earrings or necklace but instead one heck of a bling bling bracelet.
Rachel McAdams: Loved the dress - it looked like a painting in motion! Not sure if I like those particular earrings paired with that dress but Rachel can pull anything off in my book.
Cameron Diaz: Thought this dress was a little more formal/classic that what Cameron typically wears but I thought it was really beautiful. Nice she kept the hair down in her typical Cameron style.
Amanda Seyfried: Loved the intricate pattern throughout the dress - very beautiful overall effect paired with perfect hair and makeup.

And now on to my least faves of the night...
Miley Cyrus: Alright, I'll be honest - Miley drives me nuts so I was already biased against her before she set foot on the red carpet. Hair and makeup was nice but the top of her dress really bothered me. I mean, it's pretty much a bustier, right? And she's a teenager, right? So it's weird.
Charlize Theron: What was up with the boobie detractors? Seriously, when she was presenting - all I saw were two eyes staring at me from her chest. An unfortunate design, really.
Sarah Jessica Parker: I didn't really hate her dress, just wasn't loving it. No shape and stuff. But what really got to me were the insane amount of fly away hairs she had. That's all I could look at when she was presenting. Her stylist couldn't have smoothed that stuff out?
Zoe Saldana: I love Zoe so it hurt me to put her on this list. But c'mon - what was up with that dress? There was just so much going on - top half looked very disco ball-y and the bottom felt very Vegas showgirl. Still love ya, Zoe!
How about you guys? What dresses were you loving and hating last night? Post your thoughts below!
So right on with your thoughts. The flyaways were terrible on several different people.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Kathryn Bigelow just looked awful---tired and her hair looked sooooooo BORING!
Surprised that there was no mention of Sandra Bullock on here. I thought her hair looked great but the lipstick was terrible.
I did like Sandra Bullock but she wasn't in my faves. I agree with the lip color - it was like WOAH! ;) The dress was pretty but kinda fuddy duddy for my personal liking.
ReplyDeleteI guess I also agree with Kathryn when you compare her to the actresses but last night I thought, oh she's so cute - when compared to the men in her category! LOL.
We were so separated at birth Audrey!! Omg we hated all the same dressed. I totally agree on Charlize's what the heck was up with the flowers on the boobies?? hehe.
ReplyDeleteCameron Diaz was my fave and I also hated Charlize's dress....wtf?
ReplyDeleteI was not understanding the purposeful flyaways, but maybe it's just not a style I like. I know it's on the runways a lot lately.
I am, however, a fan of the BOLD lip color, especially when all the other makeup is toned down.
The flyaways are a runway trend? Wow - learn something new every day!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I also love a bold lip color but there was something about Sandra's that felt a little off. Like it was too orange or something. I don't know - it felt a bit too much.
