Yea! It's that time of the year again....The Academy Awards. It's like the Superbowl of fashion. I watch the red carpet and telecast every year with my mom. One year when I was still in college, she drove up to Bemidji, brought Chinese food from Wong's Kitchen and stayed over in my dorm room to watch with me...isn't she the best! We like to sit in our living room, eating fatty food and drinking fake champagne and pass judgement on what the stars are wearing. So here are my picks for best and worst dress this year.
Best Dressed:
1. Jennifer Lawrence in Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein. One word: FLAWLESS! The whole look is very minimal and I think that is why I like it so much. She doesn't over-do the hair and jewelry and looks perfect for her first Oscar appearance.
2. Scarlett Johansson in Dolce & Gabbana. This lovely plum color was perfect with her skin coloring. I love the form fitting style, the bare back, and the lace overlays. That being said, she could have done something with her hair, or at least brushed it!
3. Hailee Steinfeld in Marchesa. Seriously, how cute is she? Can you imagine being nominated for an Academy Award at fourteen? She is just undeniably cute and so age-appropriate in this beautiful pink gown.
4. Mila Kunis in Elie Saab. Mila is just stunning, she is my girl crush. This lavender gown was the perfect choice for the award show. The dress was romantic, yet sexy at the same time.
5. Reese Witherspoon in Armani Prive. I love Reese's entire look because it reminds me of my all time favorite look which is Julie Roberts in vintage Valentino at the 2001 Academy Awards. The black and white dress, the high 60's pony-tail.....just flawless.
Worst Dressed:
1. Nicole Kidman in Christian Dior. I always look forward to seeing what Nicole Kidman is going to be wearing on the red carpet, but this year was a let down. The dress is a beautiful work of art, but I don't think it was the best choice for the Oscars.
2. Marisa Tomie in vintage Charles James. I love vintage dresses on the red carpet, but Marisa's dress just didn't work for me. The straps were awkward and the top didn't seem to match the bottom.
3. Florence Welch in Valentino. I really wanted to like this dress, but I just couldn't. The color was all wrong on her and it didn't seem grand enough for the Academy Awards.
4. Mandy Moore in Monique Lhuillier. Okay, I have to admit that I am probably biased about this look because for some reason I can't stand Mandy Moore. She reminds me of that girl in high school who thought she knew everything about everything and acts like she is above everyone else. That said, I do feel the dress washes her out and it is to too similar to the Monique Lhuillier she wore to the Golden Globes this year.
5. Sharon Stone in Christian Dior. Just, no Sharon Stone. Please go back to the Gap t-shirt under the Valentino suit. Sometimes simpler is better.
