a congratulations is in order to all the stylists celebrities at the oscars yesterday. i had planned to unleash my red-carpet criticism using the previous format of sag, bag and flag (see the baftas and sag awards) however, it seems that everybody dressed spectacularly well. so i decided that instead of highlighting all the funniest failures (as there were none, somewhat unfortunately) i just picked out my favourite 7 of the night.
angelina jolie in versace – wow. i think this is perhaps angelina at her best: the epitome of beauty, elegance and the queen of seduction. jealous? naaah.
gwyneth paltrow in tom ford – if i could compare her to anything here, it would be a statue (not in a bad way). she looks regal, beautiful, and timeless.
emma stone in giambattista valli – i have a think for both bows and fuchsia, so this dress was always going to be a winner in my eyes, regardless of who wore it. but it does suit emma very well.
kelly osbourne in badgley mischka – although on the panel of fashion police, i think kelly has made some pretty horrendous fashion errors in her past. (including the current grey-hair trend) yet i really love this sequinned black dress – it is something different, and i like it.
meryl streep in lanvin – gold dresses so often look tacky, even the really expensive ones. however meryl streep really works this wrap around lanvin dress.
milla jovovich – effortless elegance. picked the celebrities’ designer of choice at the moment, ellie saab.
michelle williams in louis vuitton – a coral peplum mermaid-esque gown complete with swirly patterns and a pick clutch does not work on paper. but it does in reality, and michelle looks amazing!
however, i did see some people take it way too far last week – on three separate occasions i spotted a flip-flop, shorts and strappy top wearer. it’s still february for goodness sake! alice x
