The 84th Academy Awards are over, and what a night!!
I was so glad that they brought back Billy Crystal. He certainly made the evening. And it didn't go too long! Bravo!!!
The fashions were unbelievable. I have to say that they didn't disappointment me at all.
The big color trends on the red carpet were red, black and white. So many stars wore white from Rooney Mara to Gwynth Paltrow to Shailene Woodley. White was so hot at the Oscars.
Another big trend was red lips. From Rooney Mara to Angelina Jolie...make up artists painted those lips pure red to match the red carpet.
And what about the hair!!! It seemed like a lot of stars wore their hair down and swooped around to one side cascading down on one side in front. Also, many women wore their hair down. From Jessica Chastain to Nina Garcia to Glenn Close.
Okay, let's get back to the dresses!
I loved Michelle Williams strapless tulle tiered coral/red Louis Vuitton gown with a diamond bow on her tiny waist. She had simple hair, simple makeup and simple jewelry. An understated elegant look.
Viola Davis stood out in her emerald green strapless fitted dress by Vera Wang. I loved how she went natural with her hair. No wigs for the Oscars!! And how 'bout her earrings!! To die for!!!
According to Facebook and Twitter, Jessica Chastain was the #1 best dressed. She wore a Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen strapless black and gold embroidered gown. And did you check out her makeup? Subtile cat eyes!!
One of my favorites was Octavia Spenser. She has looked fabulous this whole award season. Her blush sequin gown by Tadashi Shoji was stunning. And just because you are not a size double zero, doesn't mean you can't look amazing. Her gown accentuated and flattered her curvy figure. She was perfect!!
Talking about curvy figures, did you see Melissa McCarthy? She was wearing a custon Marina Rinaldi blush gown with beaded neck and waist. An absolute perfect dress for her figure.
Now, everyone is talking about Gwynth Paltrow and her Tom Ford dress and cape. My husband said that she looked like Princess Lei from Star Wars. People absolutely loved it. Honestly, she is probably the only one who could carry that look.
What did you think about Angelina Jolie's gown? I loved the broch on the back. She was wearing a black velvet Atelier Versace strapless gown with a very high slit, which she so proudly displayed for everyone. However, she looked too skinny. Did you see her arms? It was skin on bones.
I thought it was fitting for Meryl Streep to wear a gold Lanvin gown. How perfect since she won for best actress. The portrait neckline really was flattering for her. And did you notice that Oprah wore gold, too. Interesting?
I have gone on forever, so let me quickly touch on the following:
*Tina Fey's Carolina Herrera navy gown with the black belt and peplum.
*Penelope Cruz'a Armani lavendar gown aka...Grace Kelly
*Cameron Diaz's Gucci Premiere off-white strapless fitted gown.
*Sandra Bullock's Marchesa black/white embellished gown with a beautiful back.
*Natalie Portman's Vintage Haute Couture Christian Dior red polka-dotted gown from 1954.
*Jennifer Lopez's Zuhair Murad '70's inspired gown.
Who did you like? Who didn't you like? Who looked amazing? Who looked awful?
What do you think?
(I apologize for any spelling mistakes. I'm so tired!!!)
Enjoy your day!
