HOT COUPLES
Smokin!
Victoria Beckham in her own design. Looks like Posh drew a little inspiration from Sporty Spice! I am growing to love her line/designs. The one Cameron Diaz donned at the Vanity Fair party was a scream!
Jason Statham & Rosie Huntington-Whitely in Antonio Berrardi
Gasp. I love this dress. Red/Orange is so smokin' hot this season! This might actually be one of my favorites - need to get me soma that!
Natalie Portman in vintage Dior
They both look really awkward in front of the camera together for some reason haha. I liked her dress-didn't love it. Liked it more when I found out it was vintage. I would want to wear a vintage dress like this even if it wasn't perfect-I mean, it's red, it's cute it's polka dots...why not? I did think her hair looked a bit greasy though. All-in-all a cute look
Barbie Kiebler in Marchesa; George Clooney in Armani (no seriously I did like her look even though it brought a whole new element to the concept of trophy girlfriend) She looked gorge though, can't deny it
Brangelina (Angelina in Versace)
OK, This was sort of a trainwreck for me (not Brad-he can do no wrong) but Angie just went too over the top with the whole leg-showing pose. It was strange and she was acting strange & a little loopy, no? Sticking her leg out like that looked unnatural - she was trying way too hard. In a dress like that with a slit, the leg will reveal itself naturally when you walk, sticking it out like some sort of contortionist really isn't necessary!
She looks like a 2-bit porn star who somehow (was fucking someone who) got invited to the Oscars. The point is always to look effortless, and normally she DOES, but she didn't this time around. I think Joan Rivers said "it took away her class" (ironic, I know, but not wrong) Too bad because the dress is a stunner... :(

WORST
Shailene Woodley in Valentino
This poor girl. I hate to do it because I loved her in The Descendants and think she is so cute, but this aged her 20 years. She could seriously pass for 35 in this picture. hahaha maybe not that old but this was definitely a miss for her :(
BEST
Rooney Mara in Givenchy
I don't know when it was exactly that Rooney Mara started to annoy me but she hasn't let up since then. The only thing I've seen her in before The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was The Social Network. I thought she was great in that (small but vital role) But I thought TGWTDT was kind of a let-down (even though she does an impressive job with the lead character). But it seems like all awards season she is just going with fashion choices that are heavily influenced by the character, which I guess is good but she is just taking it to the extreme. All of her looks are so severe. She only wears black & white and she's so rail-thin and pale. The dress is sort of ill-fitting..and she has noticeably bad posture.
However I must include her on the bessed dressed list here because the dress is undeniably captivating. And the look, althouh it may be severe, definitely stands out in the crowd. There is something different and scary about it that draws you in. It's the goth look at it's best - she looks a little bit like Christina Ricci's Wednesday Adams, but hey, I loved that character so rock on! Maybe she can be the new Wednesday if they ever reboot The Adams Family??
Gwyneth Paltrow in Tom Ford
This is a fantastic outfit. The cape is phenomenal - it makes the outfit I think. I might have liked to see this on a brunette but I don't think anyone but Gwyneth could even pull it off. This hit the white trend perfectly yet was so different than anything else we saw on the red carpet. A+ for her as usual.
Rose Byrne in Vivienne Westwood
This slinky black sequined number looked so amazing on her body and super sleek with her bob! I LOVED her in Bridesmaids - so glad to see that she is a vixen on the red carpet too!
Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen
I was soooo happy to see her in something edgy! She's been going either old-fashioned or slightly off in some way this whole awards season, so it was like a breath of fresh air to see that Hollywood face in something so bold and interesting. LOVE the detailing and the colors. It looks so regal and Spartan like a warrior shield or something. Naaaailed it!
Mila Jovovich in Elie Saab
Alas my best white didn't go to Rooney or Gwyneth. It's the girl from Dazed and Confused and Zoolander! Haha those are the 2 movies I always know her from. But WOW she's almost like a B-Lister who stole the show! Look at that dress!! It fits her impeccably and she's really rockin it with attitude (she used to be a model right?) It's sexy and structured at the same time. The dress is a little futuristic and her hair is retro but it inexplicably fits so well with this look. I think she's flawless - plain and simple. Love it.
Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton
Ya know, when she first stepped out onto the camera I thought it was kind of redundant because she had just worn a cutesy red dress to another recent awards show. But then she up and said the color was coral not red and it got me looking at it closer. Upon 2nd inspection I really started to see and appreciate the details of this dress and began to fall in love with it. It's really an edgy and bold choice for her in a season where's she's mostly been going safe and cutesy. The color is amazing on her skin and seems to be the color of the upcoming spring season. LOVE the vintagey necklace and the clashy pink clutch. The dress is kind of 80s but I'm crazy about it! Makes me want something coral and ruffley for spring. When she's on her style is infectious!
Happy Oscars 2012!
