2011 ACADEMY AWARDS: BEST DRESSED
Last night marked the FINAL and MOST EXTRAVAGANT show of awards show season - THE ACADEMY AWARDS!!!! I was REALLY surprised because for the most part EVERYBODY brought their A GAME! Here are My TOP PICKS for BEST DRESSED for the 2011 ACADEMY AWARDS!
1) OPRAH WINFREY in ZAC POSEN
Although she didnt grace the red carpet, OPRAH WINFREY DEFINITELY stole the show in this gown! When she walked towards the microphone to present the award for 'Best Documentary', I LITERALLY dropped my JAW! This ZAC POSEN custom piece was contemporary yet age appropriate for the media mogul!!! The silhoutte and cut compliment her body PERFECTLY! And I am LIVING for the dark silver to platinum gradient bedazzle bottom! For me, Oprah was HANDS DOWN best dressed for the night! And she was presenting for about 5 minutes so that yields $3000.00 ($10/sec)!!!
2) HEIDI KLUM in JULIEN MACDONALD
Although NOT in attendence, HEIDI KLUM deserves to be on the BEST DRESSED list in this JULIEN MACDONALD piece! She donned this dress at Elton John's Oscar party. I LOVE the glass/mirror detail across her decolletage and the nude sleeve with bits of beading/crystal on the arm is VERY ice queen!
3) HALLE BERRY in MARCHESA
In my eyes, HALLE BERRY can NEVER do wrong when it comes to the red carpet! She SLAYS in this nude MARCHESA dress! I LOVE the embellished details here and there along the dress which lead to the silk toile train! It's so SIMPLE yet ELEGANT!
4) MILA KUNIS in ELIE SAAB
As soon as MILA KUNIS hit the red carpet I knew she was rocking ELIE SAAB. From a distance this periwinkle (NOT PURPLE) dress looks simple and chic! However up close there is A LOT of LACE DETAILING!!! Very COUTURE! This dress is very MARIE ANTOINETTE meets APHRODITE!!!
5) JENNIFER HUDSON in ATELIER VERSACE
All I can say is I'm joining WEIGHT WATCHERS ASAP!!!! WOOOOOOWWWW!!! I've said it ALL AWARD SEASON but J HUD turned heads and BROKE NECKS in this tangerine ATELIER VERSACE piece! If she could have worn THIS instead of that BOLERO JACKET she wore at 2007 OSCARS.....HMMMMM.... The only thing I didnt like was HER HAIR! Shit was doing STUNTS AND SHOWS! And the zipper on her dress was showing BUT she looks FAB nonetheless!
6) NATALIE PORTMAN in RODARTE
CONGRATULATIONS to NATALIE PORTMAN for winning BEST ACTRESS last night and congrats on REDEEMING yourself from the VIKTOR & ROLFE mess you wore at the GOLDEN GLOBES! This merlot RODARTE dress makes Natalie look like a chic pregnant Grecian mom! Them toes in those shoes are SPREAD like a...well...BLACK SWAN!!! I thought your NOSE spreads when your preggers not your FEET but FAB either way!!
Hilary Swank makes me wanna say "AYE AYE AYE OKAY" in this GUCCI number! SIMPLE, CHIC!!! That gradient feather train is EVERYTHING!!!!! And GOOD JOB on the SIMPLE JEWERLY! EARRINGS and/or a NECKLACE would have been TOO MUCH!!!!
