And the Oscar Goes To....

Every time I sit down to create a red carpet best and worst post I can't help but realize that my decision is heavily swayed by how I feel about that particular actress... It's easier for me to accept an actress I like in a bad dress than an actress I hate in a good one... I'm extremely biased. I admit it. Sooo I'm gonna break it down a little different this time...

People I love in dresses I love...

Cameron Diaz has always been one of my favorites. She's adorable. and if Rachel Zoe is still working her magic with her she's done it again! Loves!

Love Maggie... perhaps it's cause she went to my high school (although sadly her and her brother graduated before I got there) But anyway I think she looked so great!

such a cutie. haven't seen an education yet but I love her style...

Okay... I know I'm gonna get flack for this but I LOVE MILEY. She's adorable, hilarious and has catchy songs... and I think this dress is AMAZING!!! my mom hates it and thinks it looks awful on her but I really really liked it... maybe because I would steal candy from children to get to wear it myself...

does this even need a caption. I adore Nicole Richie and Joel Madden... and I think they look SOOO COOL and incredibly classic on the red carpet... not sure why they are there but I'm glad they were.

Rachel McAdams is adorable. So is the dress. Very romantic...

Diane Kruger is perfect. Enough said.

and just because Ryan Reynolds is oh so pretty...

People I love in outfits I'm not so sure about...

Love love love the top half... not 100% along for the ride on the bottom half.. but really close...

adore the dress. adore her. not loving them together.

Def one of my favorite actresses sooooo excited to see her at the Oscars. I think she looks stunning and so is the dress buuuuuut she looks a little too much like the Oscar statue...

I think she's so so cute and the dress is very romantic but she's a little to monochromatic overall...

People I love in outfits I don't like...

Way way too much...

People I hate in dresses I love...

I hate Demi because she's old and is married to one of the cutest boys on the planet.. Ashton what were you thinking?! BUT she's got Rachel Zoe's touch on her side so I can't hate her too much and she looks amazing in this dress.

I hate her. I hate Twilight. She always looks miserable. I don't get the hype. But she did actually look good tonight so I gotta give her props...

I have to admit I get great pleasure out of this last categorary... does that make me a bad person?

People I hate in dresses I hate...

I am sooooo not an SJP fan. I really dislike her. Her movies. Her TV shows. I know I know a fashion fan that dislikes Sex and The City. Sorry... I just can't get passed her... and I hate having anything bad to say about a Chanel but will not hesitate so say something bad about her. don't like this look. no no no.

Hahaha oy Mariah... why on earth were you there?! What made you chose this aweful dress?! Someone help buy this girl a clue.

And that's a wrap for this year! And now I'm going to continue watching the big show! Hope your favorites win! (Ps I think Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin are doing a GREAT job!)

POST OSCAR EDIT: oh my god oh my god! I'm so so so so happy Sandra Bullock won!!! I ADORE HER ahhhh soooo exciting! And Avatar didn't win best picture yes!!! perfect night!

The Good, The Red & The Ugly

Good morning everyone! So today is my first day with complete nation coverage! So as usual with changes, I would love to hear all of your opinions so please leave your comments on whether you like or dislike these changes, or if you have any other ideas to improve this blog! 

With that said, we have A LOT  to get through today, so let's start with the forecasts. Today's inspiration is pulled from the guests of Milan fashion week, which has just ended. So with that, I give to you the stylish fashionistas of Milan.

Okay, on to the red carpet! The Oscars this wear were celebrating their 80th year and what a better way to celebrate then with everyone showing up and the writer strike over! While I would have liked to see Juno win more (mainly because it's the only movie I actually saw), I can' t really complain about anything accept maybe some of the dress choices! So, since I know nothing about the actual movies, let's move on to the red, and let me say it was a very RED carpet.
Cameron Diaz looked flawless in this pale Dior gown. There was something so effortless about her loosely tied blond hair and natural makeup, I just loved the whole look.

Keri Russel parted from her usual laid back style and really glammed things up for the red carpet. I, for one, really loved seeing this new side of Keri and thought she pulled off this Nina Ricci dress. Her hair and make up flawlessly followed suit and she had my favorite Oscar look. 

Hilary Swank, who I've never really been a fan of, really looked great in this dramatic, black Versace number. 

Jennifer Garner's Oscar De La Renta wasn't my favorite, but some how with her perfect hair, make-up and jewelry choices she really pulled this look together and look amazing. 
Red dresses really took over the red carpet this year. Perhaps as an ode to the legendary Valentino red after his retirement? Everyone who chose this route looked great and really pulled off this daring color. 

Anne Hathaway's Marchesa dress was a beautiful one shouldered embellished piece and she really pulled off that color.

Heidi Klum (who I can't figure out for the life of me why she was there?) wore a red John Galliano dress that I have to say I don't think anyone but her could pull off.

Katherine Heigl, who is another person I have pretty much always hated on the red carpet till now, really looked stunning in this bold red Escada gown. 

Miley Cyrus, again another random guest, rocked the red. Now, I'm not going to lie, I sort of adore Hannah Montana (I mean she has the best of both worlds!) and must admit this 15 year old is growing on me. Her red dress really was a Valentino and she looked fabulously chic and sophisticated in it. 

Okay now for the not so pretty... Now while Amy Adams' Proenza Schouler dress was a stunning shade and looked great on her, she makes the ugly list because of that little gold bag. While you may be thinking, "but that bag works and is cute!" here's what's wrong, THERE IS NOTHING IN IT. While watching E!'s Red Carpet special, they asked her to hold it up and it was completely empty, nothing was in it. Why not just wear a fabulous gold cuff instead of toting around a completely useless purse. I know that may be a harsh reason to put her on my worst dressed list but if that doesn't scream fashion victim I don't know what else does. Marion Cotillard, whom I adore and am so pleased she won, sorta blew it for me this time around. She usually looks sophisticated and so french! But something about this scale-y, white gown was a little off. Okay, Tilda Swinton just looked creepy. While Lanvin is one of my favorite designers, this dress just did not look good on Swinton and she looked very um, alien. Besides Miley Cyrus, I was pretty disappointed by the young-ins. Saoirse Ronan's dress color matched her eyes perfectly giving her a VERY creepy look, and Ellen Page just looked SO blah and so plain jane. 

ANY WAY, enough of the Oscars, enough with today's super long post. Paris fashion week begins today so I'm SO EXCITED for that. Don't forget to let me know what you think of the new forecast and feel free to share your Oscar opinions! Have a great day everyone!
