the truth is that basically the oscars are the super bowl for designistas everywhere..period. and yes it IS about the fashion, but it is also about the yummy gestalt of the whole shmeery night. you ALL know i'm right..so 'nuf said. we were invited to my cutie friend tania's for champagne and pizza..and thinking (as she's a brit) that it sounded super classy..i got all glammed up in my new nanette lepore frock..a fur "scarf" from the 40's ( hilarious!)and a bunch of bling, and headed out the door with the whole fam in tow..i was psyched! but after lots of fun watching the red carpet (mostly dull..but still i worship) the fun was over. little miss anne took to center stage, and...bombed.(was james franco even there?) unfortunately ms. hathaway has an overinflated concept of her own skill sets. lawrence thinks that this is what comes of a "no shaming..you are all winners" policy in the schools..hee hee..maybe he's right! the whole night i kept missing old billy crystal..and to make things worse..he actually showed up looking cute just to rub it in! oh well. maybe next year the powers that be will hire someone with some comedic talent..like billy crystal. hah!
so without further ado..my oscar fashion roundup. first we have miss anne wearing valentino, and as far as i am concerned she crushed everyone in this gown. pure fabulosity, and valentino was standing there by her side..beaming! he was eating up the night..like "i may be out of a job, but i can still rock the g-d runway peeps"
next up.. jennifer lawrence, (new girl..my dad said winter's bone was great!") wearing calvin who i say is a genius..but as ol' estee lauder was wont to say.."she should get a good bra!" i think the look is tacky on her..sorry.
hailee seinfeld the cutie from "true grit" which i actually saw..loking like sweet perfection in this dress from marchesa..lovely and sweet.
people said they loved michelle in this dress from chanel..but i say it looked flat and dull, and she looked washed out..i think that's her look..so subtle she disappeared!
i also heard people say they adored mila kunis in this lilac hued elie saab, and though i loved the color on her..the lacey bits looked messy..and grandma doily day to moi.
this burgundy dolce number on miss johansen was weirdly see through in sort of a bad way, and didn't do it for me..but i liked the peek a boo back..and her kooky hair. really the truth is scarlett is so gorge it doesn't really mattter what she has on..right?
amy adams wearing navy blue L'Wren Scott sparkly with the chinese cheongsam vibe did nothing for jill..i was wondering about the no decolletage last night..was there a memo?
and then here comes the princess of hollywood natalie portman..who is so lovely you want to shoot her..wearing purple! which i hate. this is also a huge year for purple and i will admit that it did look good on her.
i felt that jennifer hudson ( who despite her personally tragic year..everyone kept referring to as looking so happy..which we know is code for thin) in the orange versace gown looked super stunning. she did have "the girls" on display..but i thought that they did looked smooshed into the dress and weird...wardrobe!
cate blanchett must be one avant garde confident chick..because this gown by givenchy(?) looked bizarre and space alienesque..but really..what does she care..she looks like a queen compared to the rest of them..
oh..to be sure..to be continued.
