I did however switch the radio on in the kitchen whilst I made my sons packed lunch at 7am just so that I could hear who had won an Oscar and then proceeded to catch a bit of Red Carpet Glamour on This Morning whilst putting my make-up on.
Upon further inspection of some favourite looks on todays blog posts, I am always amazed by different peoples choices and opinions when it comes to fashion and awards season gowns especially. I just looked at one of the UK's top celebrity stylists top four gowns on her blog which showed a picture of Kristen Wig whose J Mendel gown I also adored followed closely by a picture of Shailene Woodley (who is she anyway) in the most disgusting Valentino dress I have ever laid eyes on! I mean 1960's wedding dress or what? The Daily Mail called the gown "austere", I can think of a better word for it! D U double L, Dull.
When it comes to awards ceremonies and gorgeous gowns, I am usually all about the blush tones and there is no doubt that a bit of sparkle does it for me. That's not to say that I don't see gowns in other colours or without a bit of bling that don't occasionally knock me sideways, there is always something amazing that doesn't conform to my usual love of Marchesa, Ellie Saab and Oscar De La Renta that totally knocks my socks off and I rarely disagree with anything chosen by Rachel Zoe for her celebrity clients, Cameron, Deb Messing et al
So if I were invited to the Oscars, had the figure and my pick of designer gowns, which one would I choose............
Milla Jovovich in Ellie Saab
Closely followed by Kelly Osbourne......
I told you I was all about the Bling didn't I?..............................
So who was your best or worst dressed of the night?
Off to look now. I'll be back! I love Milla one though! x
ReplyDeleteI really loved Glenn Close in Zac Posen. Great colour and worn with a blazer. She looked stunning for 64 yrs old. I wasn't too fond of Natalie Portman's vintage Dior - tho I appear to be alone here after looking at all the reviews. I thought she looked like a bottle of tomato sauce. ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Albeit a stylish bottle of sauce.
ReplyDeleteI'm back! I like Octavia Spencer white gathered sequinned Tadashi Shoji number although I felt it could have done with a slightly lowered neckline. But my FAV is Gwyneth in her white Tom Ford sheath with the asymmetrical neckline and that long cape! Stunning!

I thought anything nude + sparkly would still wow me but it feels really dull now. Instead I have to say Michelle Williams looks the best overall to me. The gown suits her and I love the colour and style. Milla looks good too except I have a slight problem with the padded single shoulder - makes no sense to me - or does she just have a really big hanky tucked in there?
ReplyDeleteMust say Sharon looks amazing - love that gorgeous 30's silhouette plus the sheer insets and sparkles too!
I really like Giuliana DePandi's gown from E Network...it was gorgeous. (Second, I liked Penelope Cruz) I did not like Emma Stone's red dress with the big bow!
ReplyDeleteI love the Valentino dress!! It is 1960s bride so it is out of context at the Oscars but I love it anyway!! You do make me laugh xx
ReplyDeleteI loved Milla's dress! Gwyneth Paltrow's Tom Ford cape dress was gorgeous too! :)
ReplyDeleteI loved the milla dress stunning. However most I felt were a little flat. Sad really.

Ps hope you saw the funny side to my blog! Im sure you did. Could have been worse. You could have been called Trayci! Lol x x
One thing I have got is a sense of humour! x
DeleteGod, I wish Kelly Osborne would sort her hair out, she looks a fright! Lovely dress, though. My favourite of the night had to be Glenn Close's green dress and jacket - loved it.
