Oscars Fashion!

LizT

Couldn't see a thread for this so thought I'd start one.

My favourite so far


Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen



Mila Jockovich in Elie Saab (this actually looked better on tv than it does in the pictures)

They're the only ones I can find so far

LizT

Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton

Caraville

Aaaagh, i really have to go to bed but want to see all the dresses!!

Not overly wowed by anything so far, although I do love Milla Jovovich's dress, she looks amazing.

And despite the fact that she is far too thin, I think Giuliana Rancic's dress is fab.



Love Octavia Spencer's dress too



Overall pretty underwhelming though.

Edit: Not mad about Michelle William's dress, but I like the look of her shoes from the peep we're getting in that photo above!

Alicat

Gwyneth Paltrow looks FAB.

Alicat

Penelope Cruz - very Grace Kelly in Armani

LizT

Cameron Diaz

LizT

I like Emma Stone's dress but





it's so like
Nicole Kidman 2007 Oscars!

Alicat

Meh, not feeling Angelina's dress this year, but she does look amazing as usual :rolleyes:

LizT

Yeah, only Angelina could pull that off but it's so boring.

LizT

This was the funniest moment on TV so far in 2012. Probably the best moment of the Oscars.

Alicat

I think this might be the worst one... Anna Faris, no no NO!

Alicat

Aww, I really like Meryl Streep, but this does nothing for her.

LizT

This is so unattractive but she almost pulls it off.

Namlub

Angelina's posing really weirdly in that pic >_>

Usually love what Emma Stone is wearing but a red dress with red hair and the red carpet is too much. I want MOAR DRESSES

LizT

Tina Fey. I didn't like this, it was too much like a sleeping bag with a belt:p

LizT

J-lo.

This is just blah. It's not special enough for the Oscars.

Alicat

Natalie Portman. Very unusual to see polka dots at the Oscars. She looks gorgeous though.

LizT

Maya Rudolph



Kirsten Wiig



Melissa McCarthy



Ellie Kemper



Rose Byrne. I didn't like her dress at all but E! News thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Alicat

Don't like the shape of this one at all! Viola Davis.

Alicat

Who dresses these people?? Jane Seymour

Alicat

Sarah Hyland

Alicat

Not actually on the Red Carpet, but this is Dita Von Teese at Elton John's Oscar party

Namlub

I feel like there are really obvious people missing, but I can't think of who?

CaliforniaDream

My great:
George Clooney and Stacy Kiebler

I think Stacy is stunning here. Looks better on video and I'm sure in person. One of my best dressed. George always looks handsome and put together.

Michelle Williams -

I'm not usually a fan of her style but I like this dress the more I see it. She carries herself very well.

Sandra Bullock

She's stunning imo. She's elegant, graceful and youthful. Age is doing her well.

Emma Stone -

She's a gorgeous girl and dresses so well. Love the colour. It does remind me of Nicole Kidmans dress but she pulls it off.

Gwyneth Paltrow -

sleek, elegant and a bit of a risk. She looks beautiful.

Penelope Cruz -

Old Hollywood glamour perfected. Love the colour, love everything about her look.

Octavia Spencer -

Love her dress. The starburst effect is very flattering and eye-catching.

Kristin Wiig -

Beautiful dress. The colour could pop a little more but it looks amazing on her. I love her hair.

Glenn Close -

I thought the jacket was a great choice. It's very age appropriate and she looks beautiful.

Melissa McCarthy -

She looks happy, confident and amazing. Great styling.

Ellie Kemper -

love the colour. It's beautiful!

Mila Jovovich -

Gorgeous.

Kelly Osbourne -

She looks so good. The dress is tailored perfectly. I wish she stayed blonde but she looks so good the past year or so.

Guiliana Rancic -

This looked so good on camera. Perfect dress for her for the Oscars.

My average:
Angelina Jolie - very 'meh' I think. Fabric seems to heavy.
Viola Davis - Love the colour but don't like the top of the dress. Her SAG dress was much nicer.

Cameron Diaz - Bottom of the dress is beautiful but the top is only average. She needed to cover her nipples as it really cheapened the look.

Jessica Chastain - Her hair and makeup is flawless. I love the colour combinations of the dress. But there's something about the pattern I don't like. Possibly it'll grow on me. Beautiful girl.

Natalie Portman - boring. Pretty, but boring.

Rose Byrne - Ok dress. Fitted well but not memorable.

Tina Fey - Hair and makeup beautiful. Dress is... ok. Just ok.

Sarah Hyland - dress is pretty but her makeup is not good. Her face is a different colour to the rest of her. Rookie mistake from her stylist and makeup artist I think.

My bad:
Rooney Mara - underwhelming dress. Just don't like the structure and don't think it suits her body shape.

Jennifer Lopez - She doesn't look bad per se, but it's not an Oscars dress. I feel like I've seen this on her one to many times.

Meryl Streep - Ill fitting. Not a good look.

Shailene Woodley - Not suited to a 20yr old. She said it's her style which is fair enough, but I thought it failed.

Anna Faris - Maybe my worst dressed. Just a bad look.

phasers

I thought Meryl Streep's dress looked beautiful when it moved, but it doesn't look as good in photos.

Stacey Keibler looks amazing, it's like that dress was poured onto her!

Angelina Jolie looks bizarre!If you have to stand bow-legged to make the dress look good then it's not a good dress. It was hilarious when Jim Rash copied her pose when he was accepting his Oscar



No wow dresses this year really.


Haha, I just saw a pic of Mena Suvari at Elton John's Oscar Party, she looke like she's been tarred and feathered!

aristocat

CALIFORNIADREAM - I agree with you that George and Stacy are gorgeous! Her dress is my favourite for the night. Great summary and post. Thanks.

cjmcork

gotta say, vvvvv disappointed by this year's dresses - thought Claire Danes looked fab, as did Guiliana Rancic and Penelope Cruz, also Glenn Close looked well and while I wasn't wild about the dress, G Paltrow body is SMOKIN'

the rest were just really BLAH, and I really disliked J Lo's dress.........it looks like that tight pleat my nana used to wear in her skirts!!! some might look better tonight on the TV, so I might take some of them back.............oh and M. Streep's stylist should be fired and shot in that order...........crime against fashion that yoke!

tomissex

Pretty much agree with everything that's been said.
Just a couple that I loved that haven't been posted:


Louise Roe


Maria Menounos

She was in One Tree Hill in like season 2, that's all I know her from

I'd like to see the back of that green dress - is it backless or does it just look that way?

Sort of
Best photo I can find of it

Malari

How does the front stay up? Is it attached to the back by that kind of netting that ballroom dancers and figure skaters use?

The straps I guess and there seems to be clear straps coming from it and going around the back as well.

Bahahaha!!!

Loved Rooney Mara's Givenchy dress! The low, curved neckline, the back and her simple structured hair. Dress envy. Love the muted make-up as well. She's such a beauty.

Cameron Diaz

All I can see is her nipples sticking out.

Ilyana

I agree, there are very few 'wow' dresses. However, Gwyneth Paltrow, Glenn Close, Emma Stone, Kelly Osbourne, Rose Byrne, Rooney Mara, Ellie Kemp, Melissa McCarthy and Giuliana Rancic all looked lovely. In particular, Kelly Osbourne's dress showed just how great a shape she has now she's lost weight, but she's not skinny either.

Angelina Jolie just looked like a corpse tbh. She's far too thin, so the heavy fabric of the dress just wears her. Nice hair and make-up though. Natalie Portman looked weird; the dress was creased, unflattering and the underskirt was showing. Neither her hair or jewellery suited the dress, it was like a bad Debs outfit. Such a disappointment compared to last year.

I actually loved J-Lo's dress. It's super flattering and glam, even if it's nothing we haven't seen before. She knows how to dress for her shape.

Namlub

Cameron Diaz could at least have gotten her roots done

kate.m

While I did think angelina's dress was a little bland, she looked amazing. Like her hair and makeup were flawless (then again I like the whole pale thing)

Couldn't get Over how beautiful she looked, especially considering it's been a while since she looked that good!

And now they're all I can see! :eek:

Apparently, Rooney only picked her dress that morning, but I'm not 100% so don't quote me.

I love Rooney's eyebrows..makes me wanna get the HD brows done!

orchidsrpretty

This is meant to be really fashionable now ti have your roots showing,! There is a name for it and everything but it escapes ne now. On mobile so can't link any.

Yeah she said that on E! last night.

Faith

I like Kate Mara's dress, but I'm bemused by the sleeve thing:

Caraville

Yeah I really like that dress too- although I'd love if she just hoisted it up a little bit more

cjmcork

poor Angelina's back must be in bits from that awkward posing all night!

If you're talking about that ombre dip-dye thing that was everywhere for a while I know what you mean, doesn't seem like Cameron was going for that look though...

Caraville

It's actually comical! How did Angelina think that pose was going to look any way natural? Bizzarro!!

And God she could REALLY do with a sandwich!

Haha, your man doing the impression of her is hilarious!

maybe she could talk to Victoria Beckham's chiropractor...........cos she's always standing at some terrible angle aswell - looky

Alicat

The fashion from the Vanity Fair party is the next best thing after we've finished with the Awards photos!

Selena Gomez looks beautiful, but she's only 18!



I quite liked Katie Holmes' dress as well



I have no idea who Nina Dobrev is but it's a very classy look



Leslie Mann (Judd Apatow's wife)
