The Academy Awards were last night – and I LOOOOOOVED so much of what I saw on the red carpet, although I do have to admit that I kind of miss the real stinkers of the past like Björk and her swan dress. Anyway – what did you think of last night’s fashion? Here’s a recap (pictures from the lovelies at Jezebel):
Milla Jovovich’s Elie Saab was exquisite! Her entire look was perfection…she really REALLY took my breath away! 
Divine!!!!
The lovely Berenice Bejo also wore a pale green Elie Saab – that woman is so beautiful! There is just something (a certain Je ne sais quoi, perhaps) about the beauty and allure of a French woman….probably why I’ve spent my life trying to become a French woman. Hmm. Food for thought (and another post, perhaps).
I nearly fell off my couch in delight at the sight of Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen – love love LOVE this frock! LOVE IT!!! Soooo gorgeous! Ellie Kemper’s Armani Privé is nice (good color), and Shailene Woodley’s Valentine Couture is okay, also….but check out that McQueen. Le sigh.
Melissa McCarthy’s Marina Rinaldi is very pretty (a bit jewel-y, though, don’t you think?), but very flattering on her. Maya Rudolph looks great in eggplant (seen here in a Johanna Johnson) – but hubba hubba Viola Davis in this green Vera Wang! Wowza!! The color is breathtaking!!!!
Stacy Keibler looks like an Oscar in this gold Marchesa - as tall as she is…wow! Stunning! Missi Pyle is wearing Valentina Delfino - LOVE the color! Michelle Williams is in Louis Vuitton – her dress is pretty (nice color), but I feel that this is a look we see from her ALL the time. I guess if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, but…I wish she’d mix it up a bit. But that’s just me.
Rooney Mara wore this white Givenchy – I love it from behind, but something seems weird to me in the boob area. What do you think?
I am alternating between loving Emma Stone in Giambattisa Valli and hating it – I think I love it. There. I said it. Great color on her, eh? Meryl Streep looks gorgeous in Lanvin – mind you, she’s so damn radiant that woman could wear a potato sack and be stunning. Seriously. Tina Fey is wearing Carolina Herrera – nice, but seems a bit boring, non?
Jennifer Lopez is stunning in this Zuhair Murad. Simple as that. (I don’t know why it pains me to write that)
Perfection in Tom Ford. PERFECTION. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
I am DYING for the color of Penelop Cruz’s Armani Prive – this gown is GORGEOUS!!!!!
I don’t know why I hate acknowledging it, but I do….anyway, here goes: Angelina Jolie was simply AMAZING to look at last night. AMAZING! I could have done without that stupid scarecrow pose of hers (and will somebody PLEASE feed that woman…PLEASE??!), but wowza is she ever gorgeous. Wow. Her dress was Atelier Versace, by the way.
I want to put this man in a bowl, and eat him with a spoon. Yummy – delicious!
Anyway – that’s a quick recap for you – tell me…what did you think of last night?
Happy Monday, friends!

Jennifer Lopez in Gucci – a beautiful, dramatic look, don’t you think?
Sarah Jessica Parker in McQueen – very pretty 
Beyonce in Emilio Pucci – I don’t really care for this dress much at all, and sadly I think she looks like sausage busting out of its casing…it doesn’t do a thing for her figure. 
Ashley Greene in Donna Karan – stunning 
Blake Lively in Chanel – some people didn”t care for this dress, but I think it’s realllllly pretty 
Taylor Swift’s J. Mendel frock was also panned by some of the critics, but I think she looks BEAUTIFUL! 
Miranda Kerr and husband Orlando Bloom – I’m not digging her Marchesa dress at all, which is surprising as I usually LOVE Marchesa, but…this one isn’t doing much for me.
Kristen Stewart in Proenza Schouler - certainly eye-catching, eh? What do you think?
Gwyneth Paltrow in Stella McCartney – she looks AMAZING, but…isn’t this a look we’ve seen from her a zillion times? Although, I guess there is something to be said for the theory ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’.
Jennifer Hudson in Vera Wang – very pretty 
Rihanna in Stella McCartney… I just don’t know. I’m not digging it. What do you think?
This picture is STUNNING – Gisele is flawless in archive McQueen, and the arm candy she’s rocking ain’t half bad, either. Look at her…can you imagine waking up to that sight in the mirror every day? Sadly, neither can I.
For whatever reason, Madonna’s fashion choices of late have been annoying me - however, she did a lot to fix that last night. This Stella McCartney is very flattering on her, and is age-appropriate, as well (meaning she’s not trying to look 18 again, as she’s been guilty of lately) – the color is beautiful. 
Demi Moore is wearing Prabal Gurung, with a Phillip Treacy fascinator on her head (channeling the Royal Wedding, no doubt) -I find that this outfit makes her look somewhat severe, although it certainly is eye-catching and attention-grabbing. What do you think?
Mary-Kate Olsen in Givenchy – I think it looks like a housecoat my mother wore in 1979…and not in a good way. 
Ashley Olsen’s Dior Couture is better than her sister’s dress, but even it looks somewhat off. Maybe it’s just me.
Penelope Cruz in Oscar de la Renta, showing everybody how it ought to be done. 
I LOVE Emma Stone’s Lanvin, don’t you? It is SO flattering on her 
Michelle Williams in Miu Miu…okay, I guess. Nothing overly special.
Salma Hayak in McQueen – this is my best of the night…she looks AMAZING!!! That dress is to die for – GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dianna Agron in Michael Kors – simply delightful. 
Lea Michele in Escada - soooo pretty! 
Claire Danes in Calvin Klein – very beautiful, but I feel like she almost always looks like this, don’t you?
Liv Tyler’s Givenchy Haute Couture is a wee bit Big Bird, but man do I ever love this one! This is what the Met Gala should be about!! 
Normally I adore Amy Adams and I LOVE L’Wren Scott, but I am not digging this dress AT ALL. 
Julianne Hough’s Burberry gown reminds me of a Monet painting…I love it! 
Dakota Fanning’s Valentino is PERFECTION (and SO age-appropriate) – I LOVE IT! 
The color of this Stella McCartney that Eva Mendes is wearing is spectacular, don’t you think? 
I find myself loving and hating this Chanel Haute Couture on Kirsten Dunst at the same time. I need to ponder this one further, I think…I’m just not sure what to think about it.
I love the color of Isla Fisher’s Tory Burch gown, don’t you? 
Christina Ricci in Zac Posen – no no no 
Evan Rachel Wood in Gucci – SO pretty! 
I am crazy about this Thakoon that Mia Wasikowska wore – LOVE IT! 
Naomi Campbell wore this McQueen gown…it looks like an angelic piece of art, don’t you think? 
). I think they’re nice to look at, and probably really functional for me, so…I’ll be getting one of these. How about you???!
