Ahhhh the Academy Awards...the biggest and gayest night of the year! Watching from our official Craic Style Oscar Party we had a wonderful time gabbing all night about the fabulous ladies of the night! The worst part about this years Oscars no major disasters! I mean what fun is it if everyone looks good? The stars turned it out last night in nude and blush tones, dramatic reds and sequins galore.
Nude Ladies: I think the Botox has gone to Nicole Kidman's brain seeing as she chose this awful and distracting Dior dress. Better luck next year! Michelle Williams stuck to her usual schtick opting for a demure Chanel dress which looked lovely on her. Hailee Seinfeld was adorable in a custom made Marchesa dress that she helped design herself. The 14 year old nominee looked chic and age appropriate. Mandy Moore has come a long way from "missing you like candy" The star dazzled in a sequined and tulle Monique Luhllier gown that showed of her flawless figure. Halle Berry ditched the black for the night and wore a heavily embellished Marchesa gown that on television looked gorgeous but in photos I found it made her look very short. She totally should have chosen the Ellie Saab dress I picked out for her. Last but not least is Gwyneth Paltrow who shined in a metallic Calvin Klein dress and finished her look off with earrings, a brooch and ring from Louis Vuitton. Best accsories of the night! If only she was as confident in her singing as her style!
Basic Black: Okay, i love feathers but I would really like to see them done in a new way on the carpet. Hilary Swank tried to one up Black Swan wearing a feathered Gucci gown that just didnt work for me. I have seen it too many times before. Helen Miren is every woman and mans fantasy. Who does not want to look like that when they get older? Talk about aging gracefully. The star showed off her bombshell figure in a Viviene Westwood creation! Move over Courtney Cox there is a new cougar on the block! Speaking of, Busy Phillips attended the award show in a gorgeous black gown which she accesorized with gold and emerald chandellier earrings. She attended with her best friend Michelle Williams; how cute is it that they are still friends after being on Dawson's Creek all those years ago??! Finally Reese Witherspoon flashed that cheesy American Sweetheart smile in a simple Georgio Armani gown.
For Colored Girls: Adding a splash of color to the carpet were ladies like Cate Blanchet who is my best dressed of the night in a stunning Givenchy Haute Couture gown that took my breathe away! Also my best dressed of the night goes to Mila Kunis who looked divine in my favorite red carpet designer of the moment Elie Saab. She looked romantic, elegant and sexy! Redeeming herself from the Golden Globes was Scarlet Johansson in a purple lace gown which was a vast improvement. Thank you baby Jesus! Almost ready to pop Best Actress Winner Natalie Portman wore a purple Rodarte dress that looked lovely. Rodarte designed the costumes for Black Swan so perhaps she wore the designer as a good luck charm. Her Tiffany & Co. jewels get runners up for best accesories of the night. Finally the usually chic Amy Adams dissapointed in a blue sequin L'Wren Scott dress that she paired with distracting emerald jewels. Le sigh..
Ladies In Red: I was quite suprised to see how many of the major stars chose red gowns this year but most of them looked like heaven! Starting off was Jennifer Lawrence who yawwnnn bored me in a simple Calvin Klein dress and minimal jewlery. Anne Hatthaway made a dramtic entrance in Valentino who she walked the red carpet with. Sandra Bullock looked ravishing in a Vera Wang gown with stunning bow detail in the back. Quite a departure from what the star usually wears and I will take it!! Finally Jennifer Hudson rounds up the ladies in red with an Alterier Versace gown that was too complicated and fit acwardly in the bust. I have4 seen better breasts from Purdue.I know you got that " I did it, I did it, I did it" body but you gotta know how to dress it honey!
So to Craic Recap you.
Best Dressed: Cate Blanchet and Mila Kunis.
Worst Dressed: Amy Adams and Jennifer Hudson.
With that award season is officially over and I could not be more dissapointed. I have nothing to look forward to now for another year! Ugh! Till next year dolls! xo
P.S: Thanks to all that came out to the Craic Style Oscar Party!
