Gone Oscar Wild!

So I didn't watch the Oscars. (the time diffence is mad) but I did raid the internet for red carpet photos. And Saw the best and worst dressed photos. I think I'd be on the worst dressed list because honestly, I disagree with most of these rankings. And wow, Avatar didn't win best picture.. What a shocker! (no sarcasm I really am surprised, I would've bet money on that movie winning the award, but then again, I believe almost everyone thought the same thing) So anyway, my lovely Candy Floss had her own list (click here) and boy do we have different opinions. This is why fashion is so diverse and so open. So we'll start off with

My Worst Dressed List

Zoe Saldana in Givenchy The bodice is beautiful but it just doesn't go with the rest of the dress.. And how many poodles had to die to make that ugly thing? Honestly.. But kudos for being gutsy. Even though you've gotta be pretty drunk high on something and to wear that in public.


Charlize Theron in Christian Dior The back is pretty, but the front? What a disappointment. It killed any chance the dress had of being wearable.


Virginia Madsen in.. I don't even know what she's in, but what was she thinking?
There's so much going on, with the royal blue and black, and the see-through chiffon on top of the lace bodice, then lace on top of the chiffon and you have a belt and there's a floral attempt going on at the back. And don'tget me started on the hair!


Mariah Carey in Valentino I don't know if it's the dress that I don't like, or if it's her in it. The dress is simple and pretty but she looks like a buffalo. It's not for her figure at all. What a shame! She murdered the dress!


Sandra Bullock in Marchesa She looks so bla in this dress. It's not sexy, or fab. A lot of detailing but it just didn't do it for me.


My Best Dressed List

Carey Mulligan in Prada That was in almsot everyone's Worst Dressed list, but I loved it. What's not to like? Beads? (not really beads, more like mini forks and scissors but it worked anyway so..) Check! Sweetheart Neckline? Check! Different? Check! Fabulous shoes? Double check! I think it works. Loved the look. Loved the dress. Just beautiful!


Amanda Seyfried and Jennifer Lopez in Armani Privee I don't understand how these 2 dresses were on the worst dressed list. Everything about them oozes glamour and Red Carpet Chic. Of course I loved J Lo's dress more than Amanda's but I think they're gorgeous and I would so wear them.


Penelope Cruz in Donna Karan You can say it's so 'deja-vu', and you can say nothing new.. But these dresses are lassics. You can never go wrong. They're so elegant and fabulous that everytime anyone wears a dress like that, I will stop and admire. Beautiful!


Vera Farmiga in Marchesa Now that is one hot tamaleeeeeeee... The colour, the cute, the detailing.. I lvoe everythign about the dress. It is faaaabbbb! Two thumbs up for Vera! Well done!


Cameron Diaz in Oscar De Le Renta I'm not being biased because he's my favorite designer, but honestly, how stunning is that dress? I think it made almost all the Best Dressed lists. You know why? Because it's Oscar! So glam. I love that it's worn on pale white skin and love the bright red lips with the retro hair! Perfection!



Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab Again, I;m not being biased because he's from my home country, but I loved the dress before I realized he was the designer. It's a typical Elie Saab cut, and the colours are so pretty. Very butterfly-ish no?


Miley Cyrus in Jenny Packham Now that was truly shocking. I would have never thought Miley Cyrus would be my ultimate face on the red carpet. Despite the fact that her head is as big (if not bigger) than her torso. The dress is stunning. The champagne coloured gown, in my opinion, would've looked better on even whiter skin, but I'm going to give it to Miley anyway. She looked feminin, sexy, elegant and just fabulous.


Now there were other who worse beautiful dresses but I can't fit them all like Demi Moore in Versace, Sarah Jessica Parker in Chanel, Zoe Kravitz in whatever it was she was in, Samantha Harris wore a beautiful Elie Saab gown as well. Definitely something I would pick out for myself. Helen Mirren and Meryl Streep were so elegant and their dresses were so age appropriate. Katherine Bigelow's dress was too boring! Samantha Harris and Deborah Ann woll were clueless when it came to gown choosing, and I still don't know what to make of Maggie Gyllenhaal's Dires Van Noten number or Diane Krugers Chanel dress. Hillary Swank and Vanessa Hudgens were too 'out there' with their extremely revealing dresses. Nothing left for the imagination.
