Oscar Fashion 2011

I was pretty much blown away by the red carpet fashion this year. SO blown away, that it was hard for me to pick 5 worst dresses. There were quite a few that were mediocre, 3 that were horrible, but the rest of the looks were glamorous and Oscar-worthy! There were many wives/significant others of celebrities who looked amazing, but I only included the stars in my reviews.

Usually, I try and review every red carpet look, but I have decided this year, to only pick my top 5 best and worst dressed. All photos by Yahoo Movies.

Just like in my previous reviews, I look at the entire "package" and not just the dress. I think that a hairstyle, make-up, and accessories play into how a celebrity appears on the red carpet as much as her dress does. And as always, I stay away from other reviews before writing mine.

There were many red dresses last night. Honestly, I was impressed with only one of them, and that person is in my top 5 best dressed list below. None of them made my worst dressed list, but were in the mediocre category in my opinion.

As far as the winners at the awards show, the only winner I was disappointed with was for best supporting actress. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, I think that Helena Bonham Carter should have won that award for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth in "The King's Speech".

Ok, onto my 5 best dresses. I am starting with my number five choice and counting down to my number one:




Reese Witherspoon certainly looks like she stepped out of the 1960's with this look. As simple as this dress was, it was a stunner! Channeling Bridget Bardot (or Bardie if you want to go that far) with her voluminous, sexy hairstyle, she really did stand out on the red carpet. This look could have been a nightmare had she paired the big hair with a busy dress, but since she kept the dress elegant and simple with just the perfect amount of color contrast, she is a winner in my book! Oh and I must mention her gorgeous emerald earrings, which only added to her overall loveliness.



Halle Berry, your beauty never ceases to amaze me. From head to toe, she rocked this look! I prefer Halle with short hair, and last night proved that it could never look better. Her cropped, spiky hair was flawless! She needs to keep her make up artist on speed dial. Those smoldering, smoky eyes were gorgeous! Her nude dress went perfectly with her skin tone. There is nothing bad I can say about her strapless, crystal and tulle gown. She was so elegant, that I think this may be her best look ever.



Calvin Klein rarely disappoints. Jennifer Lawrence has the perfect figure for this red, scoop necked gown. Some may say that it is too simple of the Oscar red carpet, but less is most certainly sometimes best. Her long, flowing blonde hair, eye-popping make up, and minimal accessories complete this simple, but yet very glamorous look.



Wow Mila Kunis! Casey and I both gasped when we saw her on the red carpet. This lace and chiffon gown was very unique and very flattering to Mila's petite frame. Periwinkle has always been one of my favorite colors (it was my favorite crayon growing up). I adored her clutch and her accessories, and I thought that her wavy up-do was very elegant. She is definitely one to watch on future red carpets. I haven't seen a bad look on her yet, and this is only the beginning for the beautiful, bright young star.



Can you believe, after all of the bad reviews that I have given Amy Adams in the past, that she is my number 1 best dressed this year? Maybe she's been reading my reviews.. ha! Let's start with the wavy, side-swept hair. It is feminine, elegant, and the perfect color red you could ask for. Her blue, jewel-encrusted, capped sleeve gown went perfectly with her skin tone and red hair. It accentuated her amazing figure! I loved the fact that she paired this blue gown with emerald jewelry. It was a lovely look all the way around. Thank you Amy for finally hiring the right stylist!


And now... my picks for the worst dressed. Again, I'll end with my choice for number one worst look:




Nicole, Nicole, Nicole. You never cease to amaze me with your colorless red carpet looks. When you decide to wear color to an awards show, I think that the heavens will rejoice! You have such an amazing body, but yet you choose this hip-flaring, strapless nightmare. And what is going on with the metallic flower and leaf embellishments? I do however, like the necklace and the shoes, but unfortunately, that doesn't save you from my worst dressed list.



First of all, who is Florence Welch? Ok, she's a singer.. I'm just kidding. Anyway, for her first Oscar red carpet appearance, she definitely didn't hire a stylist. If Caroline Ingalls were to go to a ball, she would have worn this. She could have pulled off the color of this dress with her firey red hair (which by the way looked like she took scissors to right before she stepped out last night), but there is nothing good to say about this lace, ruffled, granny pajama gown.



I know exactly where Marisa Tomei found her gown. It's actually a bedskirt from one of her old comforter sets, and she is definitely into recycling! From the swimsuit-like straps and neckline, to her overboard tulle skirt, this dress just fails to impress me at all! Marisa's hairstyle was just ok, but I did find her earrings to be my favorite piece of jewelry last night!



It seems that Melissa Leo is also into recycling.... her grandmother's old doilies. In the running (and eventually winning) for the award of best supporting actress, she should have chosen an elegant gown that wasn't so busy. I wasn't impressed with the lines of the dress either. From the high neckline in the back, to the padded shoulders, to the odd-looking front slit, nothing about this gown was even remotely attractive. Her loose up-do is the only thing nice I have to say about this overall look.



Don't get me wrong here, Cate Blanchet is one of the most beautiful, talented actresses in Hollywood!!! Obviously though, she has not an ounce of style, and that is why she gets my number 1 worst dressed look of the night! What is going on with this alien-inspired nightmare of a gown? This lavender (or light blue?) gown with it's very odd embellishments appears to have been squirted with mustard on both shoulders. Do you think that Cate had indulged in a hot dog before stepping out on the red carpet? The accordion skirt was the only part of the gown that should have left the designer's workshop. From the neck up, she does impress. I'm just sorry that she doesn't pair that with an Oscar-worthy (not a Halloween-worthy) gown.

Honorable mentions (those who would have made my top 10 if I had reviewed that many) are Natalie Portman, Hailee Seinfeld, Mandy Moore, Hillary Swank, and Michelle Williams. They all looked lovely!!!

As always, I would love to hear your opinions. Agree, or disagree! Tell me your best and worst dressed celebs of the night! :)

Golden Globe Fashion 2011

I'm back again with another fashion review. If you haven't seen my previous reviews, and would like to check them out, here they are: Oscar Fashion 2009, Golden Globe Fashion 2010, and Oscar Fashion 2010.

As I always stress, I DO stay away from other reviews before writing mine. I also take into account what the celebrity looks like onscreen as well as in pictures featured online. I also don't just give best or worst dressed based solely on the dress. I take into account the entire look, including make-up and hairstyle.

I have used People.com's site to see red carpet dresses in the past, but the only thing I saw this year on their site was a link to the "best dressed". Of course Angelina was featured as their best dressed, but I didn't click on the link and look further. In the past, they have had a slideshow of all celebs in no particular order, and I could just skip the review part. Because of the way they featured them this year, I used OMG yahoo's site. This will actually make it easier for you to look at my reviews and each dress at the same time in a different window. I am going to review each celeb in the order they are featured in this slideshow. Follow along, and as always, I would LOVE to hear your opinions. Feel free to comment anonymously if you would like. :)

This year's GG awards featured a lot of neutral-colored dresses. I must say that some skin tones can glow in them, and some become easily washed out. It seems that ever since Jennifer Aniston wore this dress to the 2009 Oscars, metallic and neutral dresses have boomed on the red carpet.

It was unbelievably hard to pick this year's best dressed for me. There was so much glamour and so many great looks on the red carpet. I did actually narrow best dressed down to two though, but I will let you know in my reviews below, other celebrities who were also contenders for best dressed.

So here goes... these were my two picks for best dressed this year:



Emma Stone gives new meaning to the phrase "simply beautiful"! The actual color is a little darker peach than seen here in this picture. This truly says that sometimes less can be best. I love everything about her look, from her hair and make-up, to her accessories, and obviously the beautiful backless dress. Her soft up-do, subtle but stunning make-up, simple diamond drop earrings, and her bow ring are a perfect combination to her overall soft, sexy look. To me she screams "Hollywood glamour", and it just doesn't get much better than this.

This leads me to my tie for best dressed:



Catherine Zeta-Jones blew me away last night. The textured fabric of this dark green ballgown was a stunner onscreen and online. It accentuated her amazing figure and flawless skin. I like that she kept her hair down in the back since this was a strapless gown, and her chandelier earrings played perfectly into this look. Her make-up enhanced her lovely skin tone and her dramatic eye make-up gave her eyes just the right pop. Michael Douglas has a lovely woman for sure!!!

Let's talk about my pick for worst dressed:



Not that I expected anything great from Michelle Williams, but this takes the cake. Not only does the petite star look frumpy in this mess of a dress, but the plainness of her hair, and lack of accessories (that make it look like she is going to a barbeque instead of stepping on the red carpet at one of the biggest award shows of the year) only help this celeb look more like a plain jane than a star. The daisy print is obviously a nightmare, but even if the daisies were missing, this dress is ill-fitted and looks more like something made in a home economics class than in a designer's workroom. My advice to Michelle is to fire her stylist ASAP!

Remember, follow along here as I review each celebrity in the order they appear in the slideshow.

Angelina Jolie - Stunning! Definitely one of the contenders for my best dressed. She rarely disappoints on a red carpet. This sparkly, emerald green dress was a perfect color choice for her. I was glad to see her in a bright color, since we so often see her in black. Wide shoulders appear to be coming back in style, and this gown's lines did so much to accentuate Angelina's great figure. I love the waistline and the v-drop in the back. Her hair was a cascade of long mellow waves, and the color was brilliant. A+ for sure!

Scarlett Johansson - What? The Bride of Frankenstein meets Hollywood! You would think she would be trying to impress since she is newly divorced, but I cannot keep from thinking that she went out of her way to do the exact opposite. Not only are her skin and dress the same color, but her hairstyle should be reserved for Halloween only. Again... what?

Eva Longoria - I LOVE everything about this look except for the duct tape used to make cleavage. That part tends to make me think she used to be a pageant contestant. Other than that bit of a flaw, she looks stunning. She wears black as well as any Latino, and the lines of this dress accentuate that amazing figure!!! The gown is accessorized just perfectly on its own without needing accessories elsewhere. Eva's lovely up-do and neutral make-up complete this look!

Anne Hathaway - I do love this metallic, backless number! I do love the color on Anne! I do think that it shows off her figure nicely! Here are some things I DON'T like... even though 80's inspired shoulder pads are coming back, this dress takes it a little overboard. I also think that as young as Anne is, she should have gone with a sleeveless dress instead of long sleeves. Leave that look to Angelina! There is absolutely nothing spectacular about Anne's make-up, hairstyle, or boring clutch. She may as well be going out to lunch with those!!!

Jennifer Lopez - If my grandmother was going to get remarried, I would definitely choose this dress. Enough said!!

Olivia Wilde - Definitely another one of my contenders for best dressed. However, her choppy, severely straight hair (as evidenced by her onscreen capture more than online pictures), and cat-eye make-up, took her from Hollywood glamour to nightclub flair! The dress is to-die-for though!

Julianne Moore - There is no surprise when I see Julianne on the red carpet. She hasn't had a good look in way too many years to count. She always chooses the wrong dress, wrong fabric, wrong color, and boring hairstyle. This pink dress looks thrown together by an amateur seamstress, and as I always say, "Don't wear satin to an award show"! It never photographs well!

Halle Berry - Well, she looks good in black, right? That's the only good thing I can say about the lingerie inspired number she had on last night. Lingerie belongs in the bedroom, not on the red carpet. And what's up with the sheer train?

Christina Aguilera - There are very few gowns consisting of black lace over a neutral fabric that I have ever liked. Neither of these go with Christina's pale skin. Even though Christina is petite with awesome curves, this makes her look frumpy and waist-less. A bracelet or necklace would have also looked nice. Her hair is just blah!

Lea Michele - I'm not usually a ruffle person, as most of you know. I did however like the "idea" behind this dress. The pink color looks great on Lea, but the fabric used for this dress made the seams appear like they were sewed by a faulty sewing machine. I think this look could have gotten an A from me if a less stiff fabric had been used. I really liked her simple, but elegant jewelry and her nicely loose up-do.

Sandra Bullock - 60 year old Joan Jett in a beautiful crystal overlay gown. Hmmm... Nice accessories. Very bad make-up.

Helena Bonham Carter - Bizarre and unconventional pretty much sum Helena up, personality-wise and obviously dress-wise too. She didn't get my worst dressed, because if Helena would have been in something elegant and subtle, it just wouldn't be her. Yes, it's a crazy look she had last night, but it suits her perfectly.

Carrie Underwood - It seems that I've used this word to review Carrie before... BORING! There is nothing that stands out about her look last night. She is one color head-to-toe, and even though the gown fits her nicely, it doesn't give her a wow factor at all. The very minimal accessories and extremely boring hair just make this overall look even more blah!

Sofia Vergera - This girl rocks pretty much anything she wears. Even though this choice of dress wasn't the best she's ever had, she does rock it with her amazing skin-tone, figure, and presence. The color is beautiful, and the black belt accentuates her waist and curves. She completes her amazing look with loose wavy hair and her glamorous make-up and accessories.

Megan Fox - I love Megan's dress. It is very elegant and is embellished perfectly with crystals, and ribbon-like strips. The thing that kept Megan out of best dressed choices is the fact that her hair and make-up are way under-stated. She looks pale and her hair looks more wig-like than natural.

Natalie Portman - Pregnant or not, Natalie can always rock a dress. I loved the "idea" of this dress. The gown flows nicely over Natalie's pregnant frame, and the rose applique could have been great if had been a color much closer to the original dress. The fact that it is red and is paired with a red clutch and red shoes, take away from Natalie's overall look. Natalie's hair looks great from the front, but the back makes me want to question whether or not her new fiance chose to style it for her.

Jennifer Lawrence - The picture of her featured on OMG Yahoo does not show the full beauty of this dress. I am going to write this review based on what I saw onscreen. I loved the look!!! From the wide black straps to the Spanish-inspired skirt, this dress was amazing. I also like the black and white airbrushed look. Her heels were beautiful, and I loved her messy up-do.

Heidi Klum - Heidi usually fails to impress, and she made no exception last night. I'm not sure what was up with this draped, striped number that used all the left over material to bunch together a belt. Heidi's hair looked like it needed a good coloring, and her make-up looked like a Mary Kay consultant did it. Will she ever get a red carpet look right?

Jennifer Love Hewitt - I totally get this dress!!! Jennifer had an old satin comforter and sheet set that she needed recycling. The heavy neckline on this dress, cheap-looking jeweled waistline, and overdone skirt made Jennifer look like an overweight grandmother. Her piled-high hairdo just added to this overall major FAIL!

Julia Stiles - She actually looked stunning last night! From her loose, curly hair to her amazing mermaid dress, she was the epitome of Hollywood elegance.

Kyra Sedgwick - If I were to take the guts of a pumpkin and make them into a dress, this would be the result! Her jewelry reminds me of an Egyptian queen (and not in a good way), and her severely-parted up-do did nothing to enhance her facial features.

Claire Danes - Although I would have chosen a different color for this dress, I do love it, and I think the simplicity of it does a great job of not overpowering her small frame. The high neckline, cutaway shoulders, and accentuated waistline hung great on Claire's petite figure. I am not too thrilled about Claire's hairstyle or accessories. They both could have been a little bolder.

Kelly Osbourne - She has worked so hard to get fit! This look that she chose last night did nothing to show that! The one-shoulder, satin nightmare that she was wearing looked like a backdrop to a play featuring a lightening bolt prop! Her hair looked greasy and her make-up made her look way older than she is.

Jane Krakowski - This is how you do preggers on the red carpet! She was probably the most stunning expectant mother I have ever seen at an awards show. From her golden locks, bright chunky earrings, one-shoulder blue gown with lace accent, to her perfectly professional make-up job, Jane is a definite stunner!

Nicole Kidman - Why do I always feel like I repeat myself when I write a review about Nicole Kidman's red carpet look? Oh, it's because I do, and because she always chooses a flesh colored gown that goes horribly with her skin-tone. I would love to see the dress she wore last night in color! The one-shoulder gown was nothing spectacular, but if it were perhaps a bright red or green, accessorized with some chunky jewelry, and paired with an elegant up-do, it could definitely become a look to remember.

Jane Lynch - This dress just proves that there are good uses for recycled trash bags. She should get an A+ just for going green! Go Jane... once again, you have failed to impress!

Tilda Swinton - Not worthy of my review!

Leighton Meester - The picture of this dress does nothing to show the beauty of it. I really liked it onscreen! I think it would have been well suited on someone older than Leighton, but it did fit her frame nicely. Even though this is another neutral color, it did have some silver airbrush-like color added to it. I loved Leighton's chunky, silver platform heels, but wasn't impressed with her hairstyle or accessories.

Elisabeth Moss - Origami gone bad! This green dress with an accordion-like bust, and patched waistline and hips didn't flatter Elisabeth in the least. Accessories were blah, and her hair was more suited for shopping than the red carpet.

Annette Benning - She absolutely looked like a transvestite to me last night. The dress wasn't bad, but it would have been nicer in a bright color. Annette's hairstyle, lack of make-up and nerdy glasses were all a tad scary!

Julie Bowen - Once again, this overall look was better featured onscreen than online. I loved everything about it!!! The taupe dress did have quite a few ruffles, but they weren't overbearing on Julie's small frame. I loved the lines running through her dress, and it fit her figure so well. Julie's hair was simple and elegant, and her dramatic eyes made a statement on their own!

Sarah Hyland - This was a little too much dress for this petite star. I did like the embellishments on the dress and her lovely necklace, and the way the dress flows at the bottom is stunning. Sarah's soft bangs were a nice change from the severe choppy bangs we have been seeing lately.

Christina Hendricks - I usually love this redhead in red. Not so much last night! The dress was overbearing, even though Christina isn't petite, and she has some nice curves. The flower-like embellishment that extends up into Christina's hair makes it look like it's attacking her. I think she should stick with embellishments around her waist or on her hips. She should have had her hair up for such a dress as this.

Dianna Agron - ANOTHER contender for best dressed. Even though I tend to steer clear of those who seem to be the same color from head to toe, she pulled it off beautifully! Her neutral dress had a shimmer to it that went great with her accessories... especially her royal-like necklace!!! Her loose, wavy, Hollywood hair topped it all off nicely!

Mila Kunis - Yet another contender for my best dressed! Once again, we had a beautiful, bold green gown on the red carpet last night. I loved the heavy fabric, the one-shoulder poof, and the waist wraps on this dress. It fit her perfectly! Her up-do was old Hollywood glam! She is definitely on her way to being a big star, and last night's look proved it.

January Jones - Once again, she proves that Ashton Kutcher did the right thing when he dumped her years ago! Does she ever look in the mirror before stepping out on the red carpet? The bandage-like dress looked like it was on backwards, and her old-hollywood hairstyle would have been better suited on someone with more grace and style.

Amy Adams - I was truly hoping she would get it right this year. Her dress choices always overpower her... even when she was expecting! This odd blue number, with some child-like cutouts on the embellishments, is all wrong. Amy's hair also, once again, fails to impress.

Mila Jovovich - The overall silhouette of this dress is stunning! When you get down to the details... not so much! There is nothing spectacular about any part of this dress. Mila's side-swept hair is as boring as the rest of her.

Tina Fey - I must say that this dress looked much better onscreen! I did like the royal blue color, the fabric, and the fit of this dress. I am not impressed by the ruffled sleeves, neckline, or by Tina's hair-don't. I do love her accessories however!

Hailee Steinfeld - What an amazing look! Nothing like a straight, side ponytail to keep this beautiful look youthful, but elegant. The pearl halter dress had just enough character to stand out, but not overpower this young star. She gets an A+ from me!

Melissa Leo - There is nothing spectacular about this dress at all. It's black (blah), it has a square neckline (blah), and even though it's sparkly, it has no character (obvious blah)! She could have found a gown to fit her figure better, and done something different with her mess of a hairstyle!

Jayma Mays - Can you say MOUSY? The hairstyle, the dress, the orange lipstick ALL go towards making this overly thin star look like a dressed up mouse. I took a long hard look and really tried to find something positive to say about her look, but it's just not coming to me...

Vanessa Williams - The one-shoulder metallic dress is beautiful. Would I have picked it for Vanessa? Nope! Not at all! Her figure isn't what it was 20 years ago, and I don't think she pulled off this figure hugging gown like she would have when she was younger. I totally think it was a bad choice for her!

Piper Perabo - I loved this dress onscreen. In the photos online, it's just "ok". It is in NO WAY a contender for best dressed, but it is definitely elegant, and when paired with Piper's beautiful up-do (better seen onscreen), and her amazing figure, it truly does shine!

Katey Sagal - Have you ever tried on one of those ill-fitting Halloween costumes? I believe that's what Katey did before stepping out on the red carpet! I can't say much more!

Gabourey Sidibe - Hmmm. I cannot figure out whether I like or hate this dress. Gabourey is a very hard fit, because of her obvious obesity. Aside from that, she has pulled off some nice looks in the past. This gown isn't horrible on her, but it isn't great either. If I had to stay neutral on any dress of the evening, this would probably be it.

Edie Falco - First of all, who? Second of all, I have nothing to say about this. Really!

Helen Mirren - This is SUCH an age-appropriate dress. I love everything about this look. Her diamond necklace is amazing! Her hair is perfect! Her dress is flattering! She gets an A+ from me for sure!

Amber Riley - Please tell me this looked much better onscreen, because here it looks like a big roll of aluminum foil! I do think the lines of the dress are perfect for her figure, including the waist-cinching belt, but the fabric is hard to get past!

Jenna Uskowitz - Simply gorgeous! Casey says that this dress looks like a prom dress above the waist and a Golden Globe dress below the waist. I just think that it's an overall Golden Globe WIN!!! I think Jenna looks stunning from her loose, curly hair to the bottom of her ruffly blue dress.

Jessalyn Gilsig - Fist of all... what a name... wow! I think this brocade dress was gorgeous onscreen. I'm not sure of the color, but I know it wasn't completely black. It would never get on the best dressed list, but it was definitely worth a look. Jessalyn's hairstyle and accessories were a perfect addition to this lovely dress!

Julianne Hough - I loved everything about this! The neckline of this black dress was adorned with a necklace-like applique, and the dress itself fit Julianne perfectly. I also loved her simple, but elegant up-do! A+ for sure!

Kaley Cuoco - Ewwwwww!!!! Nothing about her hair, her face, her skin, her dress, her accessories stick out!!!! She would get lost in the background if there weren't black letters on the signboard. What made her choose this?

Giuliana Rancic - Pretty? YES! Elegant? YES! Memorable? NO! Sometimes I think she tries too hard!

There are more celebs that I saw on the red carpet that I wanted to review. I cannot remember their names, and none of them were best or worst dressed, so I won't try to find them. This year, was by far, the hardest I've had to review as of yet. I am hoping that the Oscar's prove to be easier. Please leave your comments below. I would love to hear your thoughts whether you agree or disagree with my reviews. :)

Oscar Fashion 2010

You might be wondering how someone who dresses in hoodies, jeans and Chucks on a daily basis has any right at all critiquing Hollywood's top celebs as they walk down the red carpet on Oscar night... BUT... I do anyway! :)

The Oscars were full of glamour and elegance this year (even though two of the biggest stars in Hollywood were disappointingly absent.. Brad and Angelina of course). By far, the strapless look dominated the red carpet. SO MUCH SO, that by the end of the red carpet E! show, I was begging for an off the shoulder, one shoulder, spaghetti strap dress on anyone!!! Even though this Academy Awards had its fair share of no no's, overall, I thought it was pretty tame compared to previous years. I really don't think many "best" or "worst" dresses of all times are going to come from this year's Oscars.

As you all know from my previous posts reviewing Golden Globe fashion and Oscar fashion, I steer clear of other reviews before writing mine. I also do my reviews based on how the celebs look onscreen and online in photos. I have seen that many times I will like how they appeared onscreen, but not be able to find a picture of them that does the same justice. Another thing that I try and do is take in the celebrities overall look/appearance, instead of just basing my "best dressed" and "worst dressed" on the dress itself. I believe makeup, accessories, and hairstyles can make or break an outfit!

That being said, I give you my best dressed of the night:



This was a total shock to me, I must admit! Given Sandra's sloppy purple paper maché dress at the Golden Globes this year, I wasn't expecting much out of her. She totally surprised me with her elegance and beauty! This dress, her shiny hair, her makeup (including the bright, pink lipstick), and her accessories were all perfect. She was the epitome of Oscar beauty thru and thru!

This leads me to worst dressed:



Do you remember my Golden Globe review of Diane Kruger? I think it went something like this... "she is always a nightmare on the red carpet! You would think being the girlfriend of 'Fringe' hottie, Joshua Jackson, she would dress better". Well, something like that. Although I didn't expect her to look good (she totally needs to fire her stylist), I WAS shocked to see just how awful she really looked. She always has such severe hair at these awards shows, and last night was no exception. I would like to see her in some loose curls, and a dress to flatter her amazing figure. I know all of you have said it... "If I had THEIR money and fame, I'd wear something better than that!" Well, that was exactly what I was saying when I saw her last night.

You can follow along here or here to see pictures of each celebrity from last night's big show.

Cameron Diaz - Amazing, elegant, glamorous, stunning! Could I be anymore bold about my opinion of her? She must have had the same stylist as Sandra is all I can say. The sparkly gold, metallic number she wore was so flattering to her tall frame. Her cherry red lips and side-swept hair only added to her look and made her my 2nd best dressed of the night.

Miley Cyrus - I admit. I'm a Miley fan. BUT. I also admit that she may have ruined everything I ever liked about her by showing up at the biggest awards show of the year looking like she did last night. Her corset-like gown was horrendous! I am not sure if her purpose was to look way beyond her young teenage years, but there was nothing flattering about this gown. Her updo was nice, but I couldn't get passed her slumped posture to really notice it until I later saw a still photo of her. First of all, she needs to start doing yoga to improve her "country bumpkin" posture, and then she needs to find a stylist that will dress her in age appropriate clothing. She can, however, keep her hairstylist.

Faith Hill - I really liked this dress for the most part. It was black, but not boring! The lace on the bodice and the skirt really added to this and gave it just enough personality. I don't really like the pictures I've seen of her, but onscreen, she looked much better. I loved her loose updo and her large black earrings. I do think the shiny black bra underneath the gown could have been toned down a bit, but overall, it was a good look.

Penelope Cruz - Usually a favorite of mine. I won't say I hated her dress last night, but its definitely not going to be memorable. I didn't like the neckline at all. It reminds me of a "child gone wild with the scissors" kind of look. The rest of the dress looked like a bunch of gathered material. The lines of the dress didn't flatter her at all, however, the color was a beautiful deep scarlet red. I do think the designer had her skin tone and hair color in mind choosing the color of this dress, but they went horribly wrong with the sewing machine later on.

Zoe Saldana - Ok, so she might get worst dressed on many people's lists. Because she looked beautiful from the waist up (including her make up and beautiful updo), I cannot call her worst dressed. Because she looks like a dyed purple poodle from the waist down, many just might call her that.

Jennifer Lopez - Leave it to J Lo to go bold! This iridescent pink dress was definitely that! I think it's going to be one of those you either love or hate. I loved it! The unique neckline and ruffly skirt, along with the shimmery material looked amazing on her. I also loved her simple updo and simple accessories. She has really gotten in shape, and this dress showed it!

Meryl Streep - Is being 60-something an excuse for looking matronly? I guess it is, but I wasn't that "into" this dress. I think because of her age and skin tone, she needs to stay away from white. I also think the plunging neckline would have looked much better without the long sleeves and thick waistline. Her updo was also too messy in my opinion. All I can really say about her is... eh!

Vera Farmiga - Although the color of her dress was brilliant, she looks like she was stuffed into a genetically engineered flower. I loved her hair and makeup, but no one can get passed the horribly accordion-like ruffles to notice.

Gabourey Sidibe - I'm trying to like it. I do like the fact that someone chose an off the shoulder gown. I do like the way this dress hangs on her larger frame. I do like the color. What I don't like is the flower applique across the bodice of this dress. I think it ruins the entire look. I am also not sold on the hairstyle.

Anna Kendrick - This girl needs color! I've not hated her look for the Golden Globes or last night at the Oscars, but I'm not jumping up and down loving it either. The off the shoulder, blush gown fits her nicely, shows just enough leg, and has just the right amount of embellishments, but the color makes her blend into the background. Cute chunky heels though!

Charlize Theron - What's up with this boob-grabbing dress? She is usually a vision of elegance!!! She was not on her game last night. This hideous pink satin dress looked like it grew arms and reached around to... well you get my point. Shiny gowns like this just do not photograph well and tend to have the wrinkled look after awhile. I'm even disappointed in her hair and make up last night. Boo Charlize!

Demi Moore - OK, off topic here... when did she lose so much weight? Her tiny, tiny figure stunned me last night. Anyway... I loved her gown. Although it definitely didn't stand out in the way of color, it fit her perfectly, went nicely with her skin tone, and had beautiful lines! Her hair was perfect too, and I loved her chunky bracelets. She truly looks 25 and not the "close to 50" that she really is. Where was Ashton by the way?

Sarah Jessica Parker - My 2nd choice for worst dress. What was she thinking? I mean really!!! She doesn't have the, ummm, facial features to pull off such a hairstyle, but then again, even someone with say.. Zoe Saldana's petite facial features couldn't pull off this hideous updo. And though I think she probably has one of, if not THE, hottest bods in Hollywood, she sure chose not to show it off last night. With a dress resembling an embellished pillow case, make up resembling a harlot, skin looking WAY too tanned, and an updo with WAY too much poof, she is definitely not going down in history for this Oscar night. I did like her bracelets, not that anyone noticed.

Kristen Stewart - Why does she always look so uncomfortable? Does she really hate the spotlight that much? I wasn't impressed with her at all. She looked like she had on her mother's dress. It wasn't flattering in anyway! The color was boring, her hair was boring, and I'm wondering why she couldn't have at least worn earrings! Ughh!

Kate Winslet - She's usually too matronly for me. She's only in her late 30's (?), but chooses gowns that make her look 50+. Last night I believe she did much better in wearing an age appropriate gown. I thought it was elegant and I was happy to see at least one celeb wear a necklace with their strapless number. I don't think this dress will be that memorable, but I still think she looked beautiful. I liked her lose, wavy hair too!

Amanda Seyfried - Ewwwwwwwwww! Space alien alert!!! This silver, ill-fitting dress was a horrible choice for such a young hottie! I think she was trying to go for Hollywood glamour here, but she failed miserably. Her severe hair and space alien dress make her look way beyond her young years.

Molly Ringwald - Stunning! Not only has she gotten back into terrific shape since giving birth to twins last year, but she was a picture of perfection with her dress and hairstyle last night. It was awesome to see my Hollywood favorites from the 80's last night in a tribute to John Hughes, and it was even more awesome to see how great they all looked! Molly's red hair couldn't have gone better with her purple dress, and I loved the geometric clasp at her waist and matching bracelet.

Sigourney Weaver - I've seen better! I do like her in red, and I do like the flattering lines of this one shoulder dress. What I don't like is the black ribbon chosen to cinch her waist. It seemed so out of place to me. I think a belt in the same color as the dress would have been much more flattering. Her hairstyle was just ok.

Nicole Richie - I'm not liking this metallic angel-winged number. She is much too cute and petite to be wearing such a dress. Her severe updo did nothing for her either. I'm still wondering what she was even doing there in the first place, and really surprised that she would choose this dress for her one chance at being a real celebrity!

Rachel McAdams - This strapless style has been overdone, the colors were a mixture of pastel finger paintings, I don't like her blonde, and her make up was way too peachy! Nothing else to really say!

Carey Mulligan - When I saw her onscreen on the red carpet, I thought she looked great! When I saw her walk up and present, I thought she looked horrible. I guess this boils down to a beautiful top half of her gown (with odd, but awesome embellishments), and a messy bottom half that couldn't decide whether it wanted to be a long or a short gown. I did like her awesome black shoes!

Maggie Gyllenhaal - She's looking radiant this year. I really liked this dress on her. It was a very simple sleeveless design, but was made brilliant by the colors! It was a mixture of blue, black and a hint of orange all brushed on like an oil painting. She kept her hairstyle and accessories simple, so we could truly enjoy the dress!

Elizabeth Banks - WOW! I thought this dress was amazing. The gray color is nothing special until you add the ruffles and beaded seams. It turns something that could have been just ok into something that rocked the red carpet. Elizabeth's updo and headband were also stunners! She gets an A+++ from me!

Mariah Carey - Thank you, thank you Mariah for covering up the parts that need covered and for toning it down a bit! She actually looked elegant last night, and I know for Mariah, that word is like a foreign language. Some may argue that this dress was too matronly for her, but I thought it was just sexy enough with the off the shoulder neckline, and "slightly high" slit!

Mo'Nique - I loved her entire look! She really knows how to show off that body, and do it justice! I'm digging the neckline, the color and the lines across her hips. I also love the flower accent in her hair. She just really rocked it last night!

Tina Fey- The pictures I'm seeing of her last night are not flattering at all. I'm going to base my review on the way she looked onscreen. I think its one of her best looks. I liked the animal-like-print, one shoulder gown. I thought she looked elegant and age appropriate. I also liked her hairstyle and accessories.

I would, once again, love to hear your opinions. Feel free to agree, disagree, offer your own reviews, etc.

Golden Globe Fashion 2010

Isn't it nice to get away from the stress of real life sometimes and talk about something fun... like fashion? I had so much fun doing last year's Oscar fashion review, that I thought I would do it again for the Golden Globes this year, because you know me.. I've got an opinion. :)

I do try to steer away from other reviews before I do mine. I did that last year too with my Oscar review, but ended up having the same review about Beyonce's dress as Perez Hilton, whom I would like to NOT share an opinion with. Anyway, if you would like to see pictures of the dresses reviewed below, but not shown, you can go here or to your favorite celebrity site!

Picking best dressed was very hard to do. I try to pick only ONE, and this year, all the gorgeous dresses made that hard to do. When I say best dressed, I do mean make-up and hair too, because you can take a beautiful dress and ruin it with the wrong hair-do or should I say hair-don't!!! Another thing that I had to consider was not just how these women looked in pictures, but how they looked onscreen last night, because sometimes I thought they looked good in pictures, but not so good onscreen, or vice versa.

HINT: You can click on the pictures to enlarge them.

So after reviewing them all again this morning, here is my pick for Best Dressed:



Is she not perfect? Everything about this screams beautiful? Not only did she stick with her Spanish heritage on this, but the dress fits her figure perfectly. Not a lot of women can wear lines that go horizontally across the body, but Penelope sure can. The lace at the top of the gown makes this black dress seem not so typical. Black dresses can be boring, but no one can say that about this gown! Penelope's hair even screams glamour!

Now, my pick for Worst Dressed:



Can you say "OH MY!"? Chloe Sevigny is one big mess in this horrible attempt at a gown. When she was walking up to get her golden globe, the top of the dress kept blowing up in her face, and then I read where her gown actually tore onstage. Who would want to wear something like that? There are way too many ruffles on this and the "blush" color reminds me of the nightmare bridesmaids dresses in the movie "Steel Magnolias". What also made me pick this as worst dressed was the fact that Chloe has a masculine face anyway, and she chooses to pull her hair so severely back that it in no way helps her look feminine. She is young enough to have worn a nice fitting shorter gown, and to have left this dress hanging on the rack!!!

There were a lot of black dresses last night, flesh colored dresses, and yes, some very bold colors too. I thought there was a lot of glamour there! Shorter dresses are acceptable at the Golden Globes, because it is a less formal event than the Oscars, but I do think they should be left to the young girls, not the older ladies. This leads me to this critique.....

Julia Roberts - Um, what was she thinking? I love Julia, and because of who she is, she can mostly get away with anything, but I'm wondering if she just picked a cocktail dress from 10 years ago out of her closet and threw it on before coming to the award show. I'm also wondering if her twins did her hair, or if she just decided to wake up and not do anything to it at all. She is a little old to be wearing a short dress like that to an awards show in my opinion. And what about the gold accessories? Haven't I seen that necklace somewhere before? Like I said, this must have already been hanging in her closet.

Jennifer Aniston - WOW! The picture I found of her on the red carpet wasn't so great, but I'm thinking that's because the rain frizzed her hair up a bit, but by the time she stepped onstage to present, she was stunning and perfect! I know she wears black a lot on an everyday basis, but no one can say anything bad about this black number she had on last night. I even loved the slit, which can't be pulled off by just anyone. It fit her gorgeous body perfectly and wasn't over or understated. Jen, even though you didn't get it right last year at the Oscars because of your little-girl hair-do, you got it perfect this time around.

Kate Winslet - She wears blues and grays a lot. This gown wasn't bad, but I think it could have been more striking. She wears it well, but the navy color is kind of dull, and there really aren't a lot of embellishments on it. Just kind of blah to me!

Reese Witherspoon - I do believe this is the best I have ever seen her look! She is in the best shape of her life, and it shows! The only picture that I found of her is here. Doesn't she look stunning? (As opposed to her mess of a dress last year at the Oscars). Her hair, make-up, figure, dress all scream glamour and beauty. It's a simple, but yet elegant gown, and the one shoulder number gives it that little extra pizazz it needed.

Kate Hudson - Unbelievable gown! I think this is one of those that people are going to either love or hate. I love it!!! The updo, nails and accessories are perfect. I have to say I wasn't that fond of her shoes, but I'm not that fond of most celebrity shoes these days. Personally, I never would have picked a white gown for her, but I couldn't be more happy with it!

Maggie Gyllenhaal - Again, loved it! Peach? Who would have thought peach? But it's perfect! I like the different lines of the dress, and the fishtail at the bottom was just right. She wore it so well! And her skin tone went well with the color. I do believe she could have done a little more with her updo, but she still looks better than I've ever seen her look.

Mo'Nique - She looked fabulous in gold! The diagonals across the top of the strapless dress were beautiful, and this entire dress draped her frame beautifully. I was so happy she chose this. I also like her hair pulled back, but do think she needed some large earrings to complete this look.

Sandra Bullock - Ewwwww! What cheap material did they use to make this see through number? From her neck to her waist was ok, but the rest, including her hair was horrible! Did she have on a mini-skirt under the sheer outer layer of this dress? It sure looked like it when she walked onstage. I think she could have pulled this color off beautifully if the gown were made out of something other than craft paper... or whatever it is.

Halle Berry - Perfection! She wore the black and gold well, and has the perfect body to show off a little cleavage. I like the way the gown showed off her curves too. It was a stunning gown with the perfect embellishment of gold lace. And I love her hair short again, without those hideous extensions. If anyone can pull of this hairstyle, it's Halle!

Sigourney Weaver - I loved this emerald dress on her. It was perfect for her age and figure. The overlapping "folds" of the dress gave it some nice lines. Her hair and earrings were also perfect. She gets an A from me for sure!

Drew Barrymore - This flesh colored number was beautiful. It had quite a few embellisments, and even though I could have done without the little thing on her hip, I still love the dress on her. She looks elegant! I just saw a picture of her with the tips of her hair colored black, so I was afraid of what she would look like last night, but she was gorgeous. I love the beaded overlay on this dress. I also love her understated hair.

Heidi Klum - Well, she's never my favorite on the red carpet, but I must say, this year, she did look nice. It's not something I would ever choose, but the light blue/grayish gown fit her perfect and I loved the off-the-shoulder look.

Emily Blunt - Another chiffon gown! The chiffon overlay MADE this pink gown though. It would have been boring without it. She wears it well, but I must say, her hair is another bed-head for the night. Why put on a beautiful gown and do nothing with your hair? Anyway, she's still a pretty girl, and worthy of a look!

Mariah Carey - Do you want to even go there?? She was my second choice for worst dressed. I have no problem with her having a little weight on her body. It's who she naturally is. BUT I do have a problem when she wants to show the world all she's got!!! Some people (like Halle) can pull off the plunging neckline, but when you have boobies that are as big as Texas (because of surgery I'm sure), you don't need a neckline this low. The dress also looked about 2 sizes too small for her, as do most clothes that she wears. Uhhh.. her hair was nice though!

Jennifer Garner - Speaking of boobies, she is one celebrity who proves to us that you don't have to have fake ones to look good... even great!!!! I loved her gown last night. The neckline of this sparkly, taupe dress was beautiful and unique. I loved her hair down in the back. I mean you don't always have to have an updo as Jennifer Aniston has already proved for the past 10 years with her same hairstyle. Anyway, Jennifer G's earrings were perfect and so was her make-up. When I saw her on the red carpet, I was stunned by how gorgeous she was, but when the camera zoomed in on her during the show, she looked almost skeletal to me. When did she get so thin??

Fergie - Well, stilllllll speaking of boobs... haha! Anyway, her periwinkle (reminds me of the crayon) dress was gorgeous. I would love to buy it for Casey's future prom. The waistline was so stunning and would flatter almost any figure. I do wish she would have had somewhere to put her large breasts other than right under her chin, but still, she looked beautiful in the gown. I would say she's a bit overtanned, but she's always like that, and her hair is always down and a bit messy, so I won't criticize her on that.

Elizabetta Canalis - In case you have no idea who this is, it's George Clooney's current flavor of the month. She's an Italian beauty!! I did like her dress. It was a fleshy colored number that had a very unique waistline. I liked the criss-crossed, peek-a-boo waistline a lot. It accentuated her beautiful figure. Her hair was down with loose curls and just gorgeous. The color of the dress couldn't go more perfectly with her skin-tone.

Cameron Diaz - Ok, I have mixed feelings on this, because the lines of the dress, the waist-line, the neck-line ALL go perfectly with her tall thin frame. BUT the material reminds me of the 80's bridesmaid's dresses we all hated. I'm glad she went bold with red, since there didn't seem to be many red dresses at all last night, and she can rock some red lipstick, but the material is all wrong. Satin doesn't photograph well either.

Gabourey Sidibe - The emerald color is perfect with her skin tone. The material of the dress flowed nicely over her larger frame. And the beaded waistline was gorgeous. The only problem I have with this dress is the fact that it makes her look much older than she really is. It's very matronly, and she is not. I wish she would have done an off the shoulder, or strapless gown instead. And I also would have skipped the necklace.

Nicole Kidman - Yuck! All the way around. Why does she continue to wear dresses that make her look even paler than she really is. These nude colored dresses she keeps choosing are hideous. I didn't like anything about this gown, including the material, the gathering of material at her hips, or the neckline. I also didn't like her updo. Come on Nicole... you are gorgeous.. show us next time that you are!

Jane Lynch - She reminds me of a big gallbladder for some reason. This being her first awards show EVER, you would think she would have wanted to make an impression. I like the tiny belt at the waistline, but that's it! The material, color, and neckline all scream CHEAP PROM DRESS!

Marion Cotillard - Well, once again... I hated it! What's up with her slip showing beneath the slit in her gown? And the lines on the dress looked like they were designed by someone who had a bit too much to drink. The color could have worked though. It's a unique ultra deep aqua. My brain isn't working enough to come up with the exact color. A few more accessories would have been nice too.

Christina Aguilera - I loved this corset-type blushy/fleshy colored dress. It was very, very unique, but she looked divine in it! Her little tiny frame didn't hurt her!! I loved her short bob too. It completed her elegant look.

Diane Kruger - Well, I also considered her for worst dressed, but then again, I didn't expect anything different from her. Being the girlfriend of the Fringe hottie Joshua Jackson, you would think she would dress a bit better than she does. The color was great, but that's the only thing that was. The neckline reminded me of icing on a very bad cake! And what was up with the white, out of place bow-like contraption at her waist? Her hair was also a greasy looking mess.

Toni Collette - Loved, loved, loved the dress, even though it sort of reminded me of Jennifer Aniston's at last year's Oscars. It was a gold beaded number that fit her nicely, had a beautiful neckline, and hung on her tiny frame perfectly. I also loved her updo with a few curls escaping it, creating an elegant and perfect style.

Courteney Cox - Love her in black! Her black hair and black dress go beautifully together. This dress was nothing special, and very understated, but elegant and beautiful on her. I loved the sparkly waistline. Without it, this dress would have faded into the background. I don't particularly like the part in her hair, but come on.. it's Courteney.. she could be bald and would still be just as gorgeous.

Amy Adams - Ok, it's hard to look good in an evening gown when you are pregnant, but I've definitely seen celebs pull it off before. I was happy that she didn't wear a skin-tight dress like some pregger celebs wear, but still... couldn't she have done better than this? The color was just... well... boring. I know red-heads love green, but this is an atrocious color green. The little broach on her dress makes her look 60 instead of the 30ish she really is. The lines of the dress are horrible, and her handbag is not cute at all. I do, however, love her shoes!

Glenn Close - Her long, black, sequined sheath was to die for! Perfect for her age, figure, and body-type. I also loved her hair. She rocked the red carpet!

Anna Paquin - All I have to say about this dress, is maybe she recycles gold, and then melts it down for a red carpet nightmare!

Kristen Bell - I'm glad she went with a shorter dress. It's not too short, so still elegant, but she's young enough to pull off the shorter length. I didn't care for the color (can't tell if it's white or a light blue), and I really didn't like the style that much, but she still looked pretty. I do like her simple necklace and hairstyle.

Anna Kendrick - I am torn! When I look at her I see elegance, but then again, the dress is a little too much for her petite frame. She's a tiny little thing, and it almost overpowers her. I am glad to see a young actress dress like she belongs in Hollywood instead of a Vegas show, but still, I think she could have done a little less and still looked as glamourous.

Tina Fey - Think "Mary Poppins went to prison". This was a nightmare. A complete and total disaster. She is trying to look 20, but in reality looks older than she is in this horrible thing that someone apparently called a gown. And what's up with her shoes? They are not only ugly, but don't go with the gown at all. I love a nude shoe with a black dress, but not with a black and white dress that is so busy, you could get lost in the Twilight Zone just looking at it.

Zoe Saldana - This girl could wear anything because of her slender figure, but she chose this? Why? I love the color on her. It's one that I don't believe has been worn recently at an awards show, but the dress looks like they kept running out of material to make it, and just kept reattaching more as they found it. Her hair is also just blah! I expected more from this cutie.

Julianne Moore - Grandma's dress gone wrong! First of all there is a seam running down the middle of the dress. There is no shape at all to it.. that's what makes me think that they took a big piece of material and sewed it together however they wanted. And then took a big fluffy strip of material and made a neckline out of it. I do like the charcoal gray color on her though! And those earrings... didn't we some similar on Angelina at the Oscars last year? You can't pair beautiful expensive emeralds with a pillow-case.

Sofia Vergara - I loved this dress! The color, the shape, the train, the neckline all work. I like how they incorporated a little burgundy into the the neckline of this grayish blue dress. Simple hair and accessories complete the look.

Ginnifer Goodwin - Did she get this dress at Forever 21? It looks so cheap! She could have pulled off a short dress like this, but it doesn't flatter her hips at all. From the waist up, it's cute, and the color looks great on her, but as far as the dress goes, those are the only pluses. I do love her shoes, hair and earrings though!

Lea Michelle - Even though I think this black ball gown is more suited for the Oscars than the Golden Globes, I think it's beautiful!! Everything about it screams Old Hollywood, and she wears it well! I love her hair and jewelry too. She did well by going with no necklace on this one!

January Jones - Barf a maggot!!! Can I say that on here? She is horrible! I bet Ashton Kutcher was glad he dumped this girl after seeing her last night. Everything from the ruffles on the dress (can you tell I don't like ruffles) to the school girl headband, make her a train wreck!

Heather Graham - When I first saw her on the red carpet, I thought she looked nice, but the closer look I got, the more I disliked this whole look. First of all, she should have worn color.. not black. Save the black for those with a better skin tone. The sequined gown wasn't ugly by any means. It would have looked great on Courteney Cox or Angelina Jolie, but not on Heather. Her hair was also so severely pulled back, that I thought her eyes might pop out of her head. Her boobs were lopsided, and her accessories were greatly understated.

Christina Hendricks - Loved it!!!!! The color was amazing with her red hair. It was a very light peach. Even though this dress had some ruffles on it, they were at the hip where they should be, and the nice diagonal lines of this dress greatly accentuated her figure. She couldn't have picked a better dress!

Jayma Mays - Did she make this dress in her 8th grade Home Ec class? The top looks like they just threw some white ribbon across a plain black dress to spice it up a bit, and the bottom looks like she was caught in a spider web prior to the red carpet. Can I say anything nice about her look? Yeah, her hair was nice and elegant.

OK now let's talk about my "House" girls.. You know, the girls from the show that SHOULD have won last night, but was once again beaten by some show called "Mad Men" that I have never watched, and don't know anyone who has... anyway... here they are.....



Olivia Wilde - Just a reflection of beauty, but she usually is. After all, she IS married to a prince. It's not hard to look good when you have a figure like she does, but she was just perfect. This shimmery, metallic number flattered her figure and had great lines. The plunging neckline isn't too severe and I love the way it lays around her neck. The diagonal drape across her mid-section makes her tiny waist look even tinier and gives her hips a nice, curvy look. She is auctioning this dress off for Haiti too!



Lisa Edelstein - This silvery gown was perfect on her! The color went so nicely with her skin-tone and hair color. When I see the picture here, I don't like it as much as I did when I saw her onscreen. It really did flatter her figure and looked age appropriate. I love the lines of the dress, and the clasp at the bottom of the neckline. Her hair and accessories all added to her look.



Jennifer Morrison - Ok, I was bragging about my House girls last night until I saw Jennifer. I can't think of one time on the red carpet that she's looked nice. She always chooses the wrong dress, either looking like a tramp or just a hot mess. This time, I'm not sure what to call it. I think of a very busy sewing machine when I look at her. The color could have worked with her skin-tone and now blonde hair, but the ruffles make it to difficult to see past them and even look at the rest of her. Poor Jennifer.. get a new stylist ASAP.

Ok, I would love to hear your opinions. I'm not sure I have as many readers as last year when I did the Oscar review, but if you are one of my FB friends without a google account, I do allow anonymous messages, so you don't have to sign up for an account to comment. I hope you have enjoyed this. I really do like critiquing all the Hollywood celebs while I sit on my sofa in my p.j.s.

Transform your skin

Transform your skin. Mine has been completely transformed with Skinceuticals CF. Below is the link to the website. Just remember, all the celebrities give all the credit to their dermatologists and medical prescription creams to transform their face. This is the one product my dermatologist recommonded. It's doing wonders...."www.skinceuticals.com... Plus if you have malasma, Tri-Luma cream is great at lightening it. It has greatly diminished my dark spots from malasma. Of course, the most important thing for healthy skin is wearing sunscreen with zinc in it, which I do everyday. All of this is really taking a lot of years off of my skin. :) Celebrities don't use those products they are promoting on tv. They see a dermatologist to recommend what to use. Mine even told me to use Cetaphil to clean my face with as long as I use the Skinceuticals and Tri-Luma products to help correct the damage. Getting sun on your face is the worst thing you can do. Wearing sunscreen is the best advice any doc can give you, but unfortunately most people don't listen until the damage gets bad enough to bother them, then it costs a lot to do "correcting".

Good luck.

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!!

Angelina Jolie and me

She's famous. I'm not.

She's in love with Brad Pitt. I'm not.

She rents gazillion dollar castles. I don't.

She was born with big, luscious lips. I wasn't.

She has long thick hair. I don't.

She is a world traveler. I'm not.

She can act (ok that one might be debatable). I can't.

She gets mobbed by photographers. I don't.


She has brains, beauty, and wealth. She has inspired me to do another poll (I just love 'em). Have fun with this one readers. It will be fun to see which combination people pick. Think about it before you answer, and be honest.
