Oscars Red CarpetI love seeing who's wearing what on the red carpet. There have been some standouts.
So, without further ado... (where I found them, I've put pictures of what the dresses looked like on the runway).
The Wonderful
Cate Blanchett wearing a modified Armani Prive dress. She is always impeccably dressed, and what a lovely figure too. I love the colour and the detail on the shoulder strap is nice too.
Jennifer Lopez in a stunning Marchesa grecian style dress. Pity about the walking corpse that is her husband beside her LOL. I wonder if she's pregnant though, as from other angles in this dress it looks like she has a wee baby bump!
Penelope Cruz in a Valentino (I think), what a wonderful dress! I love this one. The colour, the style, her hair, makeup. Everything works.
Helen Mirren looked so classy, elegant and young! She showed cleavage but it was in a tasteful manner, didn't look like mutton dressed as lamb LOL.
Kate Winslet in Valentino looked so wonderful, she has impeccable taste. I think I prefer the green to the pink too.
A very thin "I hope Ryan Philippe chokes on it" Reese Witherspoon looking glam and very sexy.
I really like this Zac Posen dress, very glamorous, very flattering and has a slight Art Deco feel to it. Nice one Gwynnie!
The Must Try Harder Group
Ann Hathaway, I'd be trying to hide that fugly bow too! Darling, the Devil would be so upset with you in this number.
Love the dress Rachel Wiesz, but the necklace clashes with the detail on this Vera Wang number.
This looks too much like one of those prom dresses from the 80s. I think Molly Ringwald wore something similar in 16 Candles. Normally Cameron Diaz gets it right, but this is a miss for me.
Jennifer Hudson - that jacket is all wrong. I love the dress - great colour, but that bolero just doesn't work.
Three problems I have with this Armani Prive dress that Beyonce is wearing. One is that it looks like something vomited over her shoulder; two, it's far too "wedding dress" and three, looks better when it's not so form fitting.
Kirsten Dunst just misses the boat completely in this really ugly Chanel dress. (I can't believe I said a Chanel dress is ugly, but this one is!) Too fussy, too feathery. Blech.
Elizabeth Shue! This is awful. Too casual, fugly shoes, bad hair. It's like she's not even trying! This is the Oscars darling! Definitely needs to try harder.
And the award for the "Look like a wedding cake" goes to Zhang Ziyi. She's so pretty and sweet but this Valentino dress is all wrong.
Jennifer Biel is too busty for this Oscar de la Renta dress (plus her "girls" are free and I'm having flashbacks to that green dress Drew Barrymore wore one year sans bra... not a pretty site LOL). Also, I really want to tighten up that belt so it's sitting right, just doesn't quite sit properly. I do however, like the colour!
