The oscars - best dressed

Hey peeps! I'm back. Things are still crazy. I'm still looking for a job. But everything'll work out in the end.

But that's not what I"m talking about in this post. This post is about my take on the Oscars! I'm doing 3 posts about this - best dressed, worst dressed, and my thoughts on the winners. This is best dressed. I picked a bunch of looks I liked a lot,and then 1 that I think was the best of the night.

These are in no particular order:

- Kristen Stewart

She looks GORGEOUS. Though in this shot she needs to stop slouching. And she could definiely use some more makeup and a nice necklace - see Mariska Hargitay for an example (she was beautiful but I think Kristen takes it before her personally) http://justjared.buzznet.com/2010/03/07/mariska-hargitay-oscars-2010-red-carpet/.




- Sandra Bullock

When I first saw this dress on the red carpet, the shadow made it look way more see through than it is and I thought you could see her bra, causing me to go "Oh Sandra,what were you thinking!!" But it grew on me over the night and when she won (which I'll talk about later) I liked it. I had even gotten used to the pink lipstick.

- Maggie Gyllenhaal

Speaking of bright pink lipstick... but overall I have to say WELL DONE MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL. She took a risk and pulled it off beautifully, I love it.




- Anna Kendrick

You know a lot of people are putting her on the worst dresesed list. But I think this little girl (who did a FAN-flipping-TASTIC job in Up in the Air) looks GORGEOUS, especially when you compare it to costar Vera Farmiga's ruffled disaster. Plus I read she was gonna wear a blue dress and changed her mind at the last minute, not sure if she just wanted to wear something else or if something happened to the other dress. But I think she looks great.



- Queen Latifah

This isn't a very good shot of the dress. But I thought Queen Latifah looked classy and fabulous. She showed off her curves without looking big. I loved it.



- Helen Mirren

From one Queen to another. Helen Mirren looks AWESOME. She looks age appropriate without looking frumpy (which some of my friends accused Meryl Streep of looking, see below). She really shines and just looks fabulous.


- Gabourey Sidibe

I'm sorry, but how cute is she? She's got so much spunk and sass and looks awesome. Plus considering she skipped school to try out for Precious on a whim, got the part, and was up against MERYL FREAKING STREEP, who has inspired musical numbers (think of Meryl Streep in Fame), for an Oscar... that's pretty awesome. I love that she just loves herself so much, especially when you contrast who she is with her character. She just looks so happy and awesome.



- Meryl Streep

The woman/icon herself. My friends and I were divided on this. Some hated it. Some thought it could have been better. I liked it personally. It's not my favorite. There are different things that could've been better (having it be more of a true wrap for instance). But it's certainly not as bad as some of the others out there, especially on more experienced actresses (cough SJP cough cough). And considering her age (sorry Meryl but it's true) I say well done. Now she's no Helen Mirren on this night but I still think she looked awesome.

- Rachel McAdams

This one didn't get much recognition, and the shot's not that good of her cause she looks like she's sticking her gut out here, but I think she just looks AWESOME. The pattern is nice without being overpowering, it's got some color (what was with all the nude dresses?) and she just looks fabulous


- Tina Fey

At first I thought the dress was leopard print. But like Sandra Bullocks, it grew on me and by the end of the night I loved it. I think Tina looks great. And FINALLY a non poofy dress!

- Kathryn Bigelow

The woman of the night! Speaking of non poofy dresses. I LOVE this dress. However, she does look kinda uncomfortable in it - maybe she was too tightly taped into the thing.





- Elizabeth Banks





















Again not a very good shot. But I loved this dress. And if you're gonna do ruffles, THIS is the way to do it.

- Penelope Cruz

First presenter of the night, and in my opinion she wowed. I loved this dress. It was a GREAT pop of color. And while I wasn't sure about the a-symmetrical neckline at first, I think she just looks great overall. Shot's not too good cause the bottom looks wrinkled in it, but I like it.

And my number 1 pick. Drumroll please...

1. DEMI MOORE

Oh man. What can you say. GORGEOUS. PERFECTION. Now if you're gonna do the 30s style with the big slit and all the ruffles that seemed so popular YOU DO IT LIKE THIS (Zoe Saldana PLEASE TAKE NOTES). Some detail at the top, lots of stuff at the bottom without being too much. A great color - one of the few nude dresses I really liked. Just AWESOME. WAY TO GO DEMI!


Honorable mention - Monique. I felt I just had to cut the list off somewhere so she didn't make it. But the woman did look fabulous! Another honorable mention is the girl in yellow that was escorting everyone off stage.

That's my thoughts on the best dressed at the oscars. Agree? Disagree? I'll post worst dressed and my thoughts on the winners later. Right now I've gotta get dressed to go shopping with Mom. So for now that's all folks!
