OK so I know that pretty much everybody is probably posting something about the Oscars today and for that reason I tried to resist and post about something completely unrelated...
BUT
Clearly, I failed.
I just couldn't resist featuring some of the amazing dresses of the night.
The Oscars overall, this year, were a bit of a bore.
I only caught the last half so maybe thats an unfair judgement but nothing really impressed.
I'm glad that Natalie Portman won for Best Actress
and I haven't seen "The King's Speech" yet,
but I'd like to because I'm sure it will be very good.
NOW ON TO THE DRESSES!
Black Swan actress Mila Kunis ’ wore my favourite dress of the night.
She wore a hyper feminine (very flattering) Elie Saab couture lace gown that exuded pure romance in an unexpected colour.
Cate Blanchett got a little flack from some people for her dress of choice.
She rocked a complex yet elegant crystal-and-pearl-embellished Givenchy Haute Couture gown.
It's a little different but I absolutely love it!
Halle Berry wore a whimsical beaded tulle Marchesa gown. I love that this look is becoming so trendy right now. Only because that means that I get to see more amazing dresses like this. It is soft and feminine.
This gown would make a lovely wedding dress.
Hilary Swank wore a Gucci ombré sequinned gown which, like Berry's, is whimsical and very "of-the-moment" with it's feather and sparkles. It looked beautiful on her.
I love the "colour fade."
These three lovely ladies made some excellent choices as well!
Michelle Williams in white beaded Chanel gown.
Mandy Moore in a pretty sequined and tulle Monique Lhuillier gown.
Florence Welch (of Florence and the Machine) wore a Valentino couture tiered gown. I can't commit to loving this dress as is, only because I'm not a fan of the colour with her skin tone. BUT the dress itself is fantastic. If it had been in a different colour (violet, a light icy blue, or even a deeper, richer shade of yellow) I think I would have loooooved it.
So thats it people. I gave in. Sorry.
I promise the next post will be less mainstream.
But can you blame me? These dresses are to die for.
*Sigh* To be a celebrity....
