Oscar fashion was mostly hits, with a few serious misses. And speaking of misses, was Anne Hathaway so flipping annoying last night or what? You know it’s bad when you start putting her on mute a mere 10 minutes into the show.
On to the fashion of the night — it was the night of metallics!
My votes for best dressed at the Oscars:
Although she’s not getting a ton of press (because I don’t think she’s “Hollywood cool”), I thought Mandy Moore looked stunning last night. When she stepped onto the red carpet, I didn’t even recognize her. Loved her in this Monique Lhuillier dress! This picture does not do her justice — she was breathtaking.
Let me preface by saying that I am NOT a Gwyenth Paltrow fan, and think she is a b*itchy mean girl, but she looked amazing in this liquid platinum-esque Calvin Klein creation. Hair and make-up were flawless.
Again, I am not a huge Hilary Swank fan, but I thought she killed it in this Gucci dress. I liked the elegant playfulness of the dress and that it fit Hil like a glove.
On to the snark. My votes for the most disappointing fashion last night:
Reese, Reese, Reese. This is THE MOST BORING DRESS in the world. I could find the same thing on the rack at any Dillard’s during prom season. I can’t believe Armani Prive would even make such a non-fashion-forward frock. Shame shame all around.
Ok, I can’t even get past the hair. Scarlett Johansson‘s hair looked like a huge rat’s nest. Even my husband made a comment when she was presenting, “Who let her go out there with her hair looking like that?” And the Dolce & Gabbana dress was MEH – the color blended right into the red carpet and there was some rumblings on the pre-show that the back was sheer and her tushy was out there for the world to see. Again, I couldn’t even get past her hair. Gross.
And my vote for the worst dressed of the night, Oprah. OMG, that boobage was downright SCARY. I had to shield my eyes as she was presenting. The top part of her Zac Posen dress was so tight, it looked like it may bust wide open (pun intended) at any moment. And, yes I am going there, but she looks like she may be turning to tater tots, mac and cheese and Godiva for comfort upon the so-so launch of OWN.
Care to agree or disagree? Who were your most and least faves of the night?
