Herroh!
Not many people know that I really enjoy fashion... I also like to drool over pretty dresses, so the Academy Awards and award season in general is a beautifully drooly time for me. SO- let's get started with best in my opinion:
NATALIE PORTMAN:
Wowowowowowow... OMG I want it. Gorgeous orchid/lilac/pink color and unbelievable overall. Pretty hair and simple diamond studs finish it off without being gaudy. One of MY fashion icons! I can honestly say that if i could own all of anyone's clothes, it would be hers. Natalie in Rodarte:
ANNE HATHAWAY:
She looked like an icicle... in a good way! Paillettes, paillettes, paillettes! Anne in Armani Privé:
AMY ADAMS:
Lots of critics didn't like this one, but I considered it one of the best of the night! Love her. Amy in a Carolina Herrera gown and a colorful jeweled bib necklace by Fred Leighton:
PENELOPE CRUZ:
Although I'm not a big fan of her acting, Penelope looked nom nom in this vintage Balmain dress with lace detailing. I'm pretty sure now every girl in the U.S. wants this dress for their wedding. Can you believe it is SIXTY years old? I can't! Gimme!
MARISA TOMEI:
Beautiful pleating on Marisa's gown, and the fit is just impeccable! A perfect pick for the oscars. Marisa in Versace:
ROBERT DOWNEY JR.:
Can you believe he finally shaved? I'm glad he did! Robert looked fantabulously clean. Look at those details!:
ZAC EFRON:
Men take note! This is an example of PERFECT tailoring. Good for him. Now if he could only act...:
MILEY CYRUS:
It's Miley!!! Okay okay, I know a LOT of people didn't like this dress, but I actually did! Yes, she did look like a disco ball, but she worked that ridiculousness. Holiday Barbie on top of wedding cake, or not... Miley rocked this tiered beaded Zuhair Murad gown and Mary Norton clutch:
And now for the BAD... The outfits that make you wanna say NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! First off...
KATE WINSLET:
Yeah, the dress is okay, but her hair is what definitely ruined it for me. It looked like Hillary Clinton and Olive Oil from Popeye mated and had a hair baby. Sorry, hon. Kate in Yves Saint Laurent:
JESSICA BIEL:
I swear she's had a nosejob in the past ten years... Anyone with me? Anyways, everyone was pretty much in universal agreement that this dress by Prada... well... sucked. To quote a tweet from @highindustrial, "Jessica Biel's bedsheet bandeau-esque gown screams "****! Your wife's home early!" The red carpet does NOT match the drapes:
PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN:
A brilliant actor fails in the fashion department. I know we're in a recession, but COME ON.
And last, but not least... Alyssa Fox's 2009 Oscar worst dressed goes to...
HEIDI KLUM:
GAH! You'd think that with all those seasons of Project Runway under her belt, that she could have done SO much better than this. Skanky gown, Jane Jetson collar, ridiculous amounts of gaudy jewelry, and bad flat hair=NO. Too much. Heidi in Roland Mouret:
