It’s that time of year again and the Oscars are back! One of the biggest nights of the year, we all tune in for one reason… to see what everyone is wearing!
Let’s start with the ladies who missed the bill. Just more proof that a designer name and overly paid stylist do not equal a winning look.

Worst Dressed
Oh dear! Diane Kruger, who starred in the hilarious “Inglorious Basterds” along side the devilishly handsome Brad Pitt, fell flat in this Chanel gown. Generally a classic label like Chanel would be a safe bet but this really should have been a pass. The ruffles in the midsection make this dress too busy. Less is more. Better luck next time Diane.
In this Givenchy dress by Riccardo Tisci, Zoe Saldana can only be described as a “hot mess”! There is nothing about this dress that works except maybe the color… and that’s a pretty big MAYBE. It’s hitting all of the trend marks too hard. Sequin, check, high waist line, check, ruffles, check, but all together, FAIL! Remember that just because something is trendy, doesn’t mean it automatically works together. You have to look at the outfit as a whole! Lucky for Zoe she’s beautiful.
Honorable Mention
Vera Farmiga, walked the red carpet in a Magenta Marchesa gown which looked great from one angle… and horrible from the next. Tip: a 360 view of your outfit is a must if you plan on having photos taken. Sorry Vera, loved you in “Up in the Air”.

Maggie Gyllenhaal selected a vintage Van Noten gown in blue, black and white. While it’s a lovely gown, in one of my favourite colors from last season, it pales in comparison to the other gowns on the red carpet.

(Photo from DailyMail)Kristen Stewart, our favourite vampire loving actress, wore an inky black Monique Lhuillier creation. The mermaid cut of the gown is perfect for accentuating Kristen’s modest curves and I love the liquid look of the material. Unfortunately, Kristen looks awkward and uncomfortable which distracts from the beauty of the gown. Tip: Tell your self you look fantastic! It will improve your posture which instantly makes you look better.
(Photo from DailyMail)Amanda Seyfried, looked ready to walk down the isle in an elegant Armani Prive’ number. This choice shows a definite sense of style but needs a little polish. A more dramatic hair style would have added to the impact of the dress. It’s missing the wow factor that says I’m a Hollywood star.
Best Dressed
(Photo from DailyMail)Sandra Bullock looked like she’d been dipped in gold in a form fitting Marchesa gown, reminiscent of the old Hollywood era. This dress had the perfect balance between the embroidered flowers and sleek fitting skirt. Well done!
(Photo from DailyMail) Demi Moore’s tone on tone Versace gown was gorgeous and fun. Form fitted from the bust through the hips, with a ruffled skirt and high split, the dress would usually be better suited to someone in their twenties. However, since Demi Moore still has the body of a twenty year old this dress looks incredible on her.
(Photo from DailyMail)Anna Kendrick, George Clooney’s costar in “Up in the Air”, was enchanting in an Elie Saab number. A classic example of the beauty of an Elie Saab creation, the dress cascades over Anna’s body giving her an ethereal quality. I especially like the lace detailing along the split.
(Photo from DailyMail)Jennifer Lopez, who never misses a fashion mark, achieved what Amanda Seyfried could only attempt. A flawless balance between elegance and drama, she looked simply amazing in her Armani Prive’ gown!
(Photo from DailyMail)In organza and chiffon this Elie Saab number practically floats around Rachel McAdams. The sheer volume of the material could have made this dress look very heavy but with its muted tones it captures a dream like quality. She looks like the living embodiment of Monet’s “Water Lillies”. Easily my FAVOURITE gown of the night!
Well that’s it, at least for another year. Hope you enjoyed the fashion as much as I did! =)
