Zoe Saldana in Givenchy couture: I love this color. I want to love this dress but it’s hard to. Something is a little off about it. Maybe if the front closed or flowed a bit better I could love it, but until then – no. I appreciate the hair and her skin looks radiant.
Sarah Jessica Parker in Chanel couture: She’s one of my favorite people and I thought she looked good. Not many people (on Twitter) were fans of the hair but I loved it. I thought she was fabulous per usual.
Vera Farmiga in Marchesa: Seriously, it impossible to lose in Marchesa. I loved the ruffles, the pleats, the color – she popped out of the audience. You couldn’t miss her in a dress like this!
Zoe Kravitz in Alexis Mabille: I like. The young trendsetter came with her rock star father and really shined. This dress works because it’s age appropriate and still makes a statement. Love it!
Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab: I’m sort of on the fence with this look. I mean she looks great but I’ve seen this before. I can’t put my finger on it yet, but before it was said I knew this was Elie Saab and it had recently been down someone’s red carpet. Her stylist should have done their homework. Because we all know that in red carpet rules, a repeat is unforgivable.
Jennifer Lopez in Giorgio Armani Prive: Very well done. Definitely the statement maker of the evening. It was like she was trying to tell us, “In case you forgot, this is what I do.” Point made. OBVIOUSLY.
Kate Winslet in Yves Saint Laurent: Simple. In any other situation, this may have been too laid back but she was just a presenter and we know that when Kate wants to bring it, she does. The hair and HER NECKLACE were
flawless.
Meryl Streep in Chris March: Yes, that’s right. That Chris March. From Project Runway. UPGRADE. Meryl looks great. The cut was flattering and white is in this award season. Two fashionable thumbs up.
Sandra Bullock in Marchesa: Ladies and gentlemen – the winner of the best actress Oscar and the best dressed of the evening. She gave me life. The side swept hair, the rouge pout – it was all very old Hollywood glamour. Which was perfection.
Paula Patton in Carolina Herrera: Talk about glowing. And as far as I’m concerned, she wins for best use of color. It wasn’t blue or nude or even safe. Especially as an expectant mother. She owned this red orange, off the shoulder mermaid silhouette.
Cameron Diaz in Oscar De Le Renta: Incredibly feminine and refreshing. Not sure if I was fully convinced with hair and make up but the dress was strong enough to make me not notice as much. Rachel Zoe still knows what she’s doing.
Carey Mulligan in Prada: All black everything. It’s really hard to do it wrong. I like. The short, light hair and bare neck so we could all see her dripping in her Fred Leighton diamond earrings. They were HANDS DOWN my favorite accessories of the evening.
Demi Moore in Atelier Versace: Wow. Wow. And more wow. I feel like there were many ruffled, nude/peach colored ensembles throughout the evening but she pulled it off best. Whatever this woman is doing to look this good at her age, she needs to bottle it up and sell it. Oy.
Gabourey Sidibe in Marchesa: Listen here. Gaby shut the red carpet down. This dress? The hair? Her make up? All on point. Extremely glamorous and you can tell that she was enjoying this unforgettable evening. And Oprah gave a speech on her? Quite fantastically fantastic if you ask me. I’ve said before and I’ll say it again: Marchesa = WIN.
