The 2011 Oscars were not the best in the style department. I'm going to start with that because I really don't see a lot of effort to be creative and show real design skill and beauty in the fashion at the Oscars this year. I found some who tried to be creative, looked insane, like Cate Blanchett who showed up in Givenchy couture looking like Spock's mistress. Those other startlets who tried to keep it simple looked either boring, like Michelle Williams in Chanel, or pageant-y like Reese Witherspoon in Giorgio Armani Prive. I love all of these actresses normally, they are usually wearing something beautiful and interesting, and FLATTERING! But I have to say they may have been my biggest dissappointments.
There were a few that wore something that was not bad, however it could have been tweaked in order to make it go that extra mile. Gwyneth Paltrow in Calvin Klein had a great cut, especially for her slender frame, I loved the neckline and the hem at the bottom but I would have changed two things. One I would have had the dress in a fabric without the shine it looked a little Vegas, and second I would have taken that pin off the waistline, it disrupted the sleekness of the dress and with a designer like Calvin Klein I feel reserved to say that jewelery should be minimal.
Second on my list of people who need to fix it to make it fabulous, is Mila Kunis. She did look great and sexy, but I felt that the dress fits more with the description for the Grammy's because it was a lot of skin. I think with such a sexy top to the dress the skirts layers should have had another layer underneath. The line between beautiful dress and beautiful lingerie was crossed and all that she needed was a thin layer of fabric underneath the skirt.
Mila Kunis may have been a little bit of an exhibitionist but she was nothing compared to some of the women who just needed to take care of their boobs. When you don't wear a bra, your boobs look saggy and sometimes just flat out weird. Jennifer Hudson, Camila Alves I am talking to you. Another starlet with breast issues was Penelope Cruz, The dress was too tight and gaudy, and her boobs not only were smooshed into the top of the dress, but attention was brought to them by the Cher-a-licious glitter and shine on the dress.
Finally something good! Sandra Bullock looked stunning the colour on her skin was perfect the neckline was interesting without looking like it was inspired by Star Trek, she looked lovely. In a very similar dress Anne Hathaway the hostess with the mostest looked really quite good in the Valentino dress she was sporting on the crimson carpet.
All I have to say is that if I only really love two gowns out of all of the celebs who attended the Oscars it is a little sad that people wont go out of their way to look great anymore and don't know how to push the envelope int he right way.
