So the Oscars were amazing and Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin were great hosts. Sadly, the dresses weren’t as great. Evidently ruffles are in now and EVERYONE is wearing them.

First up is Jennifer Lopez. I loved the color of the dress with her skin, but the style with the layers of puffed fabric coming from her hip, just made her butt look HUGE. It was like a light pink sea urchin.

Next is Zoe Saldana. I love this woman, but her dress is awful. It’s like puffs of purple that almost seem to resemble some of the plants in her latest movie Avatar. Also, the colors of the dress go from sparkling white, to a light purple waist that fails to hug in the right places, to a darker purple and then an almost blackish purple. The colors are not working for me at all and the cut is all wrong for a woman’s body.

The next dress is a dress worn by Vera Farmiga. It’s definitely one of the worst dresses so far giving that it looks like she’s wearing a deformed rose. The color I will admit is beautiful, but I only have one question -- how is she going to sit down in that thing?

So talking about roses, Charlize Theron managed to wear roses on her boobs. It's a dark pink dress, with light pink roses on her breasts than it flares out in the back to become like a short train of the lighter pink. The front actually hugs her body nicely. The roses just throw the whole thing off. Almost like you can’t look at her face because your so fixed on why she has roses on her chest.

Probably the worst dress was worn by Diane Kruger. It looks like birds made a nest on her body. It’s like there’s a band of feathers around her neck, waist, and then a weird ruffle thing and than another ring of feathers. The bottom of it looks kind of 1920’ish but for the most part, other than the bottom of the dress, I hate it. It’s absolutely awful and I have no idea what the designer was thinking.


So I hate Miley Cyrus with a very deep passion and her dress is only somewhat better. The top of the dress looks almost like lingerie and the strip around her waist makes her look a little pudgy but for the most part, it’s not half bad.


Now onto the good dresses…

 


My favorite dress was definitely Sandra Bullock’s. The gold in the dress goes perfectly with her hair and her make up. It’s not to revealing so it leaves a lot to the imagination except that it’s almost see through along the chest. It’s so beautiful and it worked perfectly on stage when she won her Oscar.

My second favorite dress has got to go to Meryl Streep. She always manages to have a beautiful dress that makes her just glow. This year it was very simple but had a low cut in the front and than a tight strip around her waist before falling perfectly down the lower half of her body. The whiteness of the dress really makes her skin look young and the blond hair usually is too light for a white dress, but she pulled it off beautifully.

Another favorite was Carey Mulligan’s dress. I loved the little keys and silver wear on the dress and how it was cut at the bodice then flared out at the calves and flowed out behind her. The dress made her look cute and sophisticated and it really brought out the blond in her hair. I loved the character in the dress even though no one else seemed to…

For Amanda Seyfried's dress I’m having trouble figuring out whether I’m in love with it or it’s too much. The bodice seems too flattening but I love how the skirts puffed out at the bottom and going from the hip down is almost like a ripple of fabric. Plus it’s sparely and makes her look kind of like a princess.

I loved Kristen Stewart’s dress. It was a amazing deep blue that made her skin glow and the creases are really beautifully placed. The way it flares out at the knees after kind of like a pencil skirt just looks amazing. The dress is something that I would definitely wear and I’m sad that they didn’t talk more about her dress on the red carpet.

Most of the dresses were awful, but some of them really made you think that there are still some fashion designers with some taste out there.
