Oscar Style

I won't bore you with a play by play of last night's hits and misses because, in my opinion, it was exactly that: boring.  I was totally underwhelmed by everything but Angie's leg and even that got old pretty quick.  There were a couple brief moments on the red carpet thanks to Jessica Chastain, Gwennie, and Viola Davis.  Hell, if Clooney wouldn't have been there, I bet I would have fallen asleep a lot sooner than I did.

BEST

Jessica Chastain in McQueen

The gold thread in this dress is 24k!  Best dressed by a long shot for me.
Gweneth Paltrow in Tom Ford

Only Gwennie can pull head to toe white and a ponytail off!  Love that she dressed for fashion's sake and loved the cape.
Viola Davis in custom Vera Wang

Viola was a definite standout in a sea of earthy tones.  The jade color looks amazing against her beautiful skin.

WORST
Melissa McCarthy in Marina Rinaldi

This is a perfect example of how not to dress when you have curves.  She is so pretty and this is just disappointing.  She is not properly supported and is hidden beneath all that fabric.  Could no one steam her dress?  Please fire your stylist immediately.


Elaine Taylor in ???

Okay, just because you are a woman of a certain age does not mean that you can throw your Spanx (or your mirror) away! Could she not get them on because her left wrist is sprained?  I don't know.  What I do know if that this is offensive and no one needs to wear satin in this color other than Gisele. 


Shailene Woodley in Valentino Haute Couture

She consistantly dresses too old for her cute little self.  Have fun!  You don't have to borrow from Dame Judy Dench's closet for Hollywood to take you seriously.  P.S. Gweneth would have killed it in this.

COUPLES

Brad and Angie in Atelier Versace

I swear I thought she was going to pee on Brad Pitt... and on the stage when she presented.  You're beautiful, we get it.  The whole act was desperate IMO.

George Clooney in Armani and Stacey Keilber in Marchesa

Stacy looked beautiful in this color and her makeup and hair were flawless. She kind of looks like she has a boner with that rosette sticking out, but I would too if I was in her position!


All the morning shows seemed to have the same opinion that I did.  There were sooooooo many great dresses at the shows that I fully expected them to show up on the red carpet.  What did you think?  Who were your favorites?
