Of course, the biggest part of the fun of an Oscars ceremony is the fashion - who looks awesome sauce and who resembles a train wreck. And now, with the added benefit of tablet technology, I can chase up all the Oscars live blogging and get all the fashion goes whilst watching the awards be given out. So, without any further ado, here are my top 3 looks from the 2013 Oscars red carpet - you know, from what I've seen so far:
At first this struck me as a little bit too bridal - but then you look at Charlize's prefect face and her awesome haircut and it just changes the whole look of the dress. Its relatively simple, it fits her really well and its a very classic shape. Love!
I love the structure of this one, the space-agey thing it has going for it, and I love that Naomi chose this instead of something softer. She's so little and petite and she looks like a real warrior princess in this!
This one seems to be polarizing the fashion critique pages, but I love it... And I think most of that love is to do with the fact that its different to what Halle normally wears ( you know, either strapless or super cleavage, and sheer, with a full-ish skirt ). Plus - its black and gold and stripes and sequins!
As for train wrecks - I can't say I've come across anyone that was full blown nutso this year ( hello Bjork swan dress and Celine Dions backwards suit! ). But sadly, I did find one of my favourite actresses in a dress that underwhelmed me so much it made me sad:
Oh Anne - too simple, and too wishy-washy. But hey, her hair looked awesome and she won the Oscar so yay for her!
Again, linking up with IBOT as hosted by Jess over at EssentiallyJess!
I think I am the only person in history who actually liked Bjork's stork dress. It certainly sticks in the memory. I too was underwhelmed by Anne's dress - too bridesmaidy. My favorite this time around was Jessica Chastain. GOLD.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly does stick in the memory! I also liked Jessica Chastains - sparkly!
DeleteCharlize gets my vote for best dress! She is stunning. Anne's dress reminds me of her personality - BLAH! She seems so incredibly up herself and fake at the same time. I just looked through a few red carpet pics and honestly nothing really stood out to me. Jen Anniston's dress was a huge MISS too. -Aroha #teamIBOT
ReplyDeleteSee I actually love Anne but the dress was just .... Men. I really wish she'd gone a red, with a red lip.
DeleteI love to see all the beautiful dresses too. I felt the same about Anne's dress... she needs strong colours. I was actually really taken with Jennifer Lawrence. She looked lovely and he interview afterwards was hilarious!
ReplyDeleteAgreed, on both accounts. I think Anne's skin tones needs strong colour, and Jennifer Lawrence is the bomb. I wish she was my friend!
DeleteYeah, didn't really like Anne's dress but I am with Robyn, there was something about JL's dress that I really loved, plus I was super happy that she won. SO glad Anne won too, she definitely deserved it.
ReplyDeleteI loved that when JL fell over she laughed and used it to her advantage.... My kinda lady right there :)
DeleteCharlize is amazing. Honestly, is there a frock that woman can't pull off? Not sure what Halle was thinking though, not a fan it all. It makes me think of that 1990's song 'Rhythm is a dancer'.
ReplyDeleteHalle's dress was very polarizing, but I thought it was quite funky, especially considering the sheer, form fitted stuff she normally wears...
DeleteI loved Charlize's look as well! I didn't watch it, though. I completely was out of the know and skipped the whole event. Had to go back and review red carpet afterwards. Zanni @ Heart Mama x
ReplyDeleteIf I hadn't been at home with a toddler who was misbehaving himself, I would have been watching Sesame Street!
DeleteI completely missed it this year, which really hurts my feelings!
ReplyDeleteAnne is often a bit hit and miss isn't she? I didn't mind the dress too much, but I thought it made her look really skinny, and not in a good way. If there is a good way of being really skinny
It did make her look skinny! Maybe she wanted to remind the Academy of her 'Les Mix ' performance?
DeleteAm I the only one who loved Anne's dress this year? I think she was stunning :)
ReplyDeleteI thought her head looked stunning! And I didn't hate the dress, I just wished it were an actual colour....
DeleteLove the oscars but missed it this year.
