Re: Post oscars red carpet discussion

  • My faves:

    #1 Michelle Williams: Love the color, texture, ruching, and pixie cut

    image

    #2  Ellie Kemper: Didn't know of her but love the color on her skintone

    image 

     #3 Jessica Chastain: Not the best pic but love the details and the gold on black. Love that she kept the hair soft.

    image

     #4 Gwyneth Paltrow: I know a lot hated the cape but I thought it was unique and sleek:

    Least faves:

    Viola Davis: Love her; hate the orange hair (love the natural style), hate the tailoring/seaming on the unflattering dress (love the color) 

     image

    Shailene Woodley: Old and fug

    image

     Rooney Mara: The bangs that take up half her head, the ears, the brows.  She looks like a Vulcan ghost

    image 

    Emma Stone: I know most loved this and I love Emma but I thought this looked old for her, was the wrong color for the red carpet and her red hair, and looked like a bad copy of Nicole Kidman from a few years ago.

  • I think Ellie Kemper was my favorite with Jessica Chastain being a close second. I liked Kristen Wiig's dress a lot as well.

    Not a fantastic pic, but I loved penelope as well 

    image
  • I feel like Penelope Cruz always looked good (though I find her fug) but the same.

    ETA: Am I the only one who thought Wiig looked like a rumpled mess? 

    image
  • Sandra Bullock, eugh:

    image

    Gwenyth, yes. It looks so sleek. A little futuristic, but I'll overlook that.

    image

    Cameron Diaz, YES. She looks so glamorous.

    image

    Meryl, is this a joke? She looks like she's wrapped in curtains she found at a stripclub. No. No no no.

    image

    Whoever this chick is, she looks like she escaped from a wedding in 1985.

    image

    JLo looks like an extra from Captain EO

    image

    Emma Stone, I could be on board with this if it weren't for that neck ... thing.

    image

    Oh Sherri Shepherd, no. This is straight out of the Mother of the Bride section at JCPenney.

    image

    I thought Sarah Hyland looked lovely and age-appropriate.

    image

    LOVE this color on whoever this is

  • I thought Milla Jovovich looked fantastic--like old Hollywood glamour.
    image
  • Octavia Smith has got this awards thing DOWN.

    image

    Kata Mara ruined a lovely dress with her sour puss and her slumping shoulders

    image

    I like the fabric of Busy Phillips' dress, but not the cut. Or those shoes with it.

    image

    I like everything about Michelle Williams' dress but the waist ruffle thing.

    image

    I wasn't sure what to think about Esperanza Starling, but I think I've settled on "love everything about the look."

    image

    Another one with the strip club curtains.

    image

    I don't like this thing up the middle of Judy Greer's dress. It looks like a zipper.

    image

    This chick needs a better bra. And WTF was up the all of the futuristic-looking dresses? It's like half of them got lost on their way to a Star Trek Prom.

    image

    This lady looks like she was on her way to a Mary Kay demonstration.

  • Sorry I posted this and ran, I had a half written post but almost missed my ferry.  And then I've been swamped with work.  Just had to hop on for a little break.

    Of the "ladies of a certain age" set, I thought Glenn Close looked the best.  Did not like Meryl's at all, and I think Jane Seymour is a little too old to pull off the slinky shiny red number she had on.

    I loved Michelle, Ellie and Emma.  Did not like Kristen Wiig.  I'm so over the flesh tone red carpet gown.  I was loving the color on parade last night.  Thought Sandra's look was too matronly.  Loved Gwenyth without the cape.  The cape was just weird, and not in a good way.

  • I feel like Sandra has alien tentacles creeping toward an area tentacles should never go.

    Sherri Shepard looks better than Melissa McCarthy though, no?

    Meryl isn't good but it's not her worst. She needs to pay any money necessary to steal Helen Mirren's stylist.

  • What is Meryl's obsession with belting? It's like she just drapes herself with fabric, yanks it all together with a belt, and calls it a day.

  • I sort of like Stacy Keibler's dress.  It says, "I know I'm the trophy gf.  George can go home with his own personal statuette."

    It just looks cheap. Like something you could pick up in the Sear Prom Section

  • A page I follow just posted this, asking who pulled off the white dress best:

    image

    Too many people have said that space cadet on the left there looked "understated and elegant." WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE??

    My vote is for Cameron Diaz, though.

  • Even with the weird cape, Gwenyth gets my vote for winner of the white gowns.

  • Gwyneth gets my vote too.  Cameron's read as pale gold on my tv.  And I hate her tendency to do the messy hair.

    The commentators seem all over the board.  Everyone seems to have made best AND worst dressed lists.  Case in point: Rooney Mara.  Some people love it; some hated it.  I think it is the worst of the worst.

    I think Rooney Mara's bangs/face look worked for her, though it's not something I'd do myself. I do think she's too pale for a white dress, though. And that's saying a lot, coming from me. The entire top just blends in with her skin.

  • Rooney Mara is my favorite of those, but I don't hate Shailene Woodley's either.  I thought it looked better on video though.

  • I feel like Rooney's dress has built in hooter hiders for tiny babies.
    image
  • I liked Gweneth's dress, but other than that, I really did not like those white/skin toned dresses.  I really did not like Cameron's at all.  Her hair was too white, her skin, and her dress.  Just, blah.

  • Why wasn't Milla Jovovich included in the white dress line-up?  I can't stand her, but this dress is fab:

  • She called it silver so maybe it looked less white in person?

  • You know, I would typically hate Sandra Bullock's style of dress but she just looked so glamorous in it. I really love it which surprises me.
  • I liked Natalie Portman's dress, but I find her insufferable.
