Oscar Report: Freida Pinto

Note to Freida Pinto:
I have heard a few opinions about your John Galliano gown, and most of them are positive. When I first saw your Academy Awards look, I thought the color was a little bit boring and the one sheer sleeve looked a little bit like a figure skating costume. HOWEVER, when I looked at it a little more, the cobalt color is a more sophisticated hue than some of the brighter colors you have recently been wearing, which shows some versatility. I also appreciate the asymmetrical neckline, and the one sleeve is growing on me. It looks almost like a glammed up sari. You are kind of like Angelina Jolie, you would look good in almost anything.

Oscar Report: Anne Hathaway

Note to Anne Hathaway:
You were definitely feeling the Oscar spirit when you selected this Armani Prive gown. You remind me of the statuette itself, only much more beautiful. Your look evokes an Audrey Hepburn-like glamour. I think this is a sophisticated look, and the fit of the dress highlights your figure. I love the dress, love the hair, love the lipstick, basically I love everything. You may not have left the night with an Oscar, but you definitely were a winner.

Oscar Report: Marissa Tomei

Note to Marissa Tomei:
Wow. You looked stunning at Sunday's award ceremony. This Versace gown looked like it was made just for you, and maybe it was. The fit of the dress is amazing on you, and compliments your fabulous figure. I have read a few complaints about the train being too fussy, but I personally love it. It brings in the trend of architectural and geometric shapes, without you looking like a piece of origami. Honestly, I love your entire look, you were one of my favorites from the night.


Oscar Report: Reese Witherspoon

Note to Reese:
There is a lot of chatter going on about your Academy Award dress selection.  Some loved it, some absolutely hated it. My opinion of your Rodarte frock? I love the vibrant colors, they are sophisticated yet egdy and playful at the same time.  The ombre effect of the fabric is also very fashion forward. I wish I could see the dress in person, maybe it would help me grasp the draping and layers more. 

I do not understand the random sheer parts near the armpit, it looked like you were wearing a bra with the translucent straps. (Which by the way ladies, just because the bra straps are clear does not mean we can not see them, please wear a strapless bra when necessary) I think the shape of this dress does not do much for your frame. It does not necessarily look bad on you, but it does not have the wow factor that some of the dresses (ie. Yellow Nina Ricci dress) you have worn have on you.

Note to Readers:
What do you think about Reese's dress choice? Fashion forward or fashion disaster?

Oscar Report

Note to Readers:
I hope you all enjoyed watching the Oscars as much as I did.  I decided instead of rushing to write reviews on all the looks last night, I am going to post a few looks a day this week.  At the end of the week I will post my favorite Oscar look.  

In the meantime, who was your favorite?

Oscar Report: Beyonce

Note to Beyonce:
It's time to have another talk. This dress looks like a gaudy tapestry you would see hanging in Trump Tower. I know that was harsh, and I am feeling a little bad about picking on you, but I have decided it is time for some tough love. Stop dressing in your mom's House of Dereon collection, the designs are not polished enough for the Red Carpet.  I am not going to go into detail about how the design of the dress does nothing for your figure. I don't like any of it. Please, hire a stylist you are not related to.

Oscar Report: Angelina Jolie

Note to Angelina Jolie:
Lets be honest, you are so beautiful it is hard for you to make a misstep. This Elie Saab gown is a more fitted silhouette than the blouson look you have been favoring lately. The bodice is interesting, without looking too fussy. I love the emerald jewelry you chose to accessorize with, they provided a nice flash of color. Your date was pretty easy on the eyes too. My only complaint, albeit a minor one is this look is a little safe for me. Black strapless dresses can be a bit yawn inducing. Although you make it look so good, maybe you are exempt from this clause?

Note to Readers:
Readers, what do you think? Was the dress boring or did you like the look?
