Carla's Oscar Review

Generally speaking, I like to sit back, relax and enjoy the Oscars rather than review the fashion but I thought I would spit out my brief opinion of fashion on the red carpet this year.

 

Before I start , I want to say how much I loved the way the producers had past Oscar winners address the nominees for this year's Best Actress and Actor.  I found it touching, personal and emotional.  Loved it.

 

I also want to say how BUGGED I was that Mr and Mrs high-and-mighty Brangelina would not stop to talk to ONE reporter.  What was up with THAT?  Bug! 

 

Okay: quick review.  My opinions are based on what I saw on TV, not based on photos. 

My favorite outfit, hands down this year goes to Amy Adams who was wearing a deep red Carolina Herrara dress with a FABULOUS

Fred Leighton

necklace.  Amy is a simple girl with fair skin and I LOVE it that she went out on a limb here with color.  (not sure I love the black piping now that I see this in photos but she is stilll my favorite)

 

Penelope Cruz:  60 year old Vintage Balmain.  Couldn't she wait to get married?  This is a pretty dress and Penelope gets extra points for her emotional acceptance speech, but I found the color on her to be drab and I was looking for a veil and flowers. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Miley Cirus:  Zuhair Murad dress.  Okay what is this?  Disney Princess?  This is over the top.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jessica Beil:  Prada Dress.  Uh... This looks like there was a competition for who could make a dress in 5 minutes with a piece of fabric and a stapler. Terrible.  This actually looks better in photos than it did on TV.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Angelina:  Elie Saab gown, emerald Lorraine Schwartz earrings, and cocktail ring.  LOVE the Jewels. Hate the dress. I am so tired of Angelina looking like Elvira or the Mom from the Munsters. She does this look quite often and I am just plain tired of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vanessa Hudgens:  wearing a modified Marchesa mermaid gown.  TOO dark, not fresh enough for her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Winslet: Wearing Yves St. Laurent gown and Chopard jewels.  You know, I'm not sure I love the gown.  There was a moment that I could see her nipples and it felt a bit off to me, but I was blindsided by her beauty.  She is stunning, flawless..A true star!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marisa Tomei: Versache.. cool dress but don’t love the color on her.. would have been fabulous in Green!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sarah Jessica Parker;  Dress by Dior Sarah needs to get away from the cream puff look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anne Hathaway- Armani Prive Spring 09.  Gorgeous Dress, but she needs a tan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beyonce:  House of Dereon.  The print is too big for Beyonce's voluptuous body.. don't you think?

 

 

Jennifer Aniston:  column gown by Valentino.  Jennifer always does this look but I have to say, she does look darling. I love her hair. I'd like to see her go out on a limb one of these days...

There you have it..
