Polly Dolly - Red Carpet Ride

So, welcome once again to my weekly shot at the Polly Dolly Challenge, as hosted by Dani at Danimezza. This week Dani has found herself inspired by the gorgeousness and the glamour that is the Academy Awards. I mean, lets face it, 90% of the reason most of watch them is to see all the frocks, so this week Dani has asked us to choose our favourite look from the evening and recreate it - whether we go for a style in the same vein, same colour board, or use the exact same dress and style it differently.

I've gone with Amy Adams. I did have a few favourites i could have picked from but i've chosen Amy because i loved that it wasnt the usual strapless/one shouldered Hollywood gown, and i adore the colour ( especially with her red hair ). So, inspired by the beautiful colour and unusual ( for the red carpet ) cut, I came up with this....
Polly Dolly - Red Carpet Ride
I found this gorgeous Emilo Pucci dress. I love that a) its a print and b) it has soft, feminine movement. I've paired with gold stilettos and some chunky sapphire jewellery, to counterbalance the feminity of the fabric. A simple clutch and a sleek updo would finish my Polly off. In a perfect world, i would love to wear this ( though i dont think my lack of height and the width of my hips would do it any justice ). I think it would be perfect for one of the more relaxed award ceremonys, like the SAG's or the Grammys ( where i would totally outshine Lady Gaga and her stupid egg! )

  3. Couldn't have agreed more! The blue with her hair. Sigh. My dress combo.

    And a much better selection of accessories if you ask me. Beautiful set.

  4. You're absolutely right. That shade of blue is lovely with her hair. Love the set and the gold makes is it shine.

  5. I really love how the color of her dress pops against the color of her skin. I think my favorite was Hailee Steinfeld. It was very age appropriate and was so shiny. Too many young stars are way too oversexed.

  7. That color was the most beautiful color on Amy, with that lovely red hair. Very Hollywood!

    Your dress is lovely too, it has a lot more movement that that straight cut dress, which I like.

    And lovely gold shoes you have there!
