Did you tune in for the Academy Awards last night? Besides wanting to know who were the winners for best actor (Jeff Bridges), best actress (Sandra Bullocks), and best picture (The Hurt Locker), I was eager to see who was wearing what. Generally in the past, there would be a handful of worst dressed, but surprising this year, I don’t really see that many! I might not be crazy about some of the gowns but overall, I only hated one.
Sandra Bullock impressed me this time as my absolute favorite last night. Unlike the last dress she wore to the Golden Globe, she nailed the look this time by picking an elegant embroidered gold sheath gown. Way to go, Sandra, on your Best Actress Award and the Best Dressed Award!
One noticeable trend at the Oscar was the front slit gowns. It’s been a while that I’ve seen this style before and I like it! It’s very sexy yet red carpet appropriate. A little bit of legs goes a long way, ladies!
Anna Kendrick and Demi Moore both looked enchanting in a soft romantic style.
Left: How about classic with a twist like Carrie Mulligan’s Prada dress with interesting gadget embellishments (tiny forks, knives, scissors?) The dress was age appropriate for her – classy yet edgy.
Right: Or Kate Winslet’s classic champagne dress by YSL? As you can see, you don’t need an extravagant dress to look this good. It was effortless chic!
Left: Sleek with the wow factor. Elizabeth Bank’s Versace gown was figure flattering but her poise made her look super sexy.
Right: Hail to the “Queen!” Queen Latifah knows how to dress for her body. She doesn’t chase the trends but always sticks to what works.
If I have to pick one dress that I hate, it’d have to be Diane Kruger’s Chanel gown. The colors were nice but the ruffles at the mid-section was way too much, not to mention the exaggerated, low-cut halter neckline. There was too much going on from head to toe. The overall look was simply not figure flattering.
