Oscar Fashion 2009

I'm curious to know what you thought about what the stars were wearing last night. Like always, I have an opinion, and I'll share it with you, but I would really like to know what all of my readers thought. If you didn't catch it on TV, you can look at the gowns here. Oh... to be able to attend the Oscars, like my friend Somer did back in 1998. I'm very envious Somer, you know that right? :)

First of all here is my pick for Best Dressed:


I absolutely love the color, the style, Natalie's hair.. well, just everything about it. I don't think she could have picked a more glamorous dress. The fact that she's so petite doesn't hurt of course, but I have seen her in some really bad dresses before. It's elegant and classy.. just like Natalie.

Here is my pick for Worst Dressed:


What in the world was Beyonce thinking? For such a gorgeous woman, she sure can be a nightmare on the red carpet sometimes. It looks like she ran out of money like poor Scarlett O'Hara and tore her draperies down to make a dress. Why would she do this?

There were a lot of red dresses, and a lot of off the shoulder dresses last night. There was also a lot of elegance and glamour. I won't post anymore pictures, but you can go to the link above to see all of these people if you don't remember their dresses.

Here are my thoughts on what others were wearing:

Angelina Jolie- simple, glamorous. I loved her hair, her understated jewelry, the lines of her dress. I do wish she would wear a bit more color sometimes though. I loved the green earrings with this. It needed no flashy diamonds.

Kate Winslett- the dress she wore was something a grandmother would wear. It was just ok to me. I think knowing she was most likely going to win last night, she should have worn something a little less matronly. The colors were blah and it didn't show off her gorgeous figure like some other gowns have. I just really don't have anything good to say about it.

Penelope Cruz- I really liked this dress. It is something you could wear to your wedding, or on the red carpet. I'm usually not fond of wearing cream on the red carpet, but she pulled it off with her skin color and hair color. It fit her nicely, and was just a classy gown overall.

Jennifer Aniston- I loved the dress, but the rest of her was just a hot mess. Her hair looked unbrushed, and what was she trying to accomplish with the braid? Since her date looks 12, maybe she was trying to look 12 too??? I'm not sure, but from the shoulders up.. I was not impressed.

Anne Hathaway- Again, the color is not something I usually favor on the red carpet, but she pulled it off. It was simple, elegant, and very flattering to her (very) small frame.

Amy Adams- First of all, I don't like her in red. This dress though wasn't as bad as some critics are making it out to be. It's not something I would choose to stroll down the red carpet in, but it's a pretty dress. I like that she chose a big, chunky necklace to accessorize with. Not many other celebs went with that look last night.

Nicole Kidman- She doesn't need to be wearing cream. I didn't like the feathers on her dress. Just not a good look for her. My personal opinion is that NO dress should have feathers on it (I'm referring to past dresses from Jessica Alba, Penelope Cruz, Venessa Williams, and many more I just can't think of right now). Nicole could have done much better.

Sarah Jessica Parker- Her hair was a mess, her face is always a mess, but I did like her dress last night. Casey didn't like it at all, but we differ on a lot of things anyway. I'm all for the "princessy" look, and Casey isn't. The color wasn't that great, but I did like the way the dress cinched at the waist. It was flattering to her figure I thought. It was "old Hollywood", and I thought she pulled it off. If only she could have done something different with her hair.

Jessica Biel- She has already gotten a lot of criticism for wearing this. I don't like the color that much, but I did like the design. I disagree with a lot of the critics on this. It's not my favorite look, but it was elegant. Her hair needed to be up, but then again, I think from the neck up, she's usually a mess anyway.

Halle Berry- She's gorgeous in anything she wears, but this wouldn't have been my first pick for her. Black and gold aren't my favorite colors in a dress. This dress kind of reminds me of Christmas wrap. The lines are just ok. She could have worn something more flattering to her gorgeous figure.

Heidi Klum- Two words.... Hot Mess! I have nothing else to say.

Freida Pinto- perfect color for her skin, beautiful, elegant dress. I don't think she could have picked a more perfect dress. I love the design, the way it fit her.. well, just everything about it.

Taraji P. Henson- Here we go again with the cream dresses. If this dress would have been in a different color, I would have loved it. It had just enough detail, without going overboard. It fit her nicely.

Marisa Tomei- Even though this dress was cream, I really loved it. She has been looking terrible on the red carpet lately, but last night she was stunning. The detail of the dress was different than any other dress last night. The "folds" on her dress really accentuates her gorgeous figure. I would probably say this was my second favorite dress of the night.

Miley Cyrus- Well, Jason, Casey and I disagree on this one. They think she looked like a fish with scales, and I actually liked the dress. I like the two-toned look and belted look. She wears a ball gown well!

Alicia Keys- WOW.. just stunning all around. No embellishments, but none were needed really. The color suits her well. I really liked the lines of the dress. Nothing bad I can say about it.

Evan Rachel Wood- This was not a good color for her. I really don't like the top of the dress at all. She just didn't pull this off. If it were on someone with a darker skin tone, maybe I would like it, but not with her pale skin. And her hair color is always terribly "CVS bottle" looking.

Vanessa Hudgens- Even though some sites are saying she was the best dressed, I disagree. I think she looks like a mermaid, and the flowers on the front of the dress are just too much. Her hair and makeup were perfect though.

Tina Fey- There is nothing about this dress that I like. She needed some color, and the style of the dress is not flattering to anyone.

Reese Witherspoon- Although she is my favorite actress, I was so disappointed in what she wore last night. I don't think it flattered her small frame at all, and it just looked "thrown together" to me. I did like her simple hairstyle though.

I would love to hear your opinions!! Who do you think was best dressed? Worst dressed? Did you enjoy the Oscars last night? It has become so predictable, but I did have fun watching Hugh Jackman host. What a cutie he is!!
