So I covered the best dressed. Now these are the ones that weren't quite so hott, from those that just missed the mark to the ones that made me go WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?
The first 9 are in no particular order, last 3 are. I'm going to be pretty harsh in this post. But they opened themselves up to it. Bear with me it's all in good fun.
- Carey Mulligan
I REALLY hate putting this girl on here cause I absolutely adore her. She's FABULOUS in an education. I love her short blonde hair (hmm I wonder why) and I just think she's great. But this dress just doesn't do it for me. I think it'd be beautiful if it went all the way to the floor, but the way it comes up and stops doesn't look right. now I love the top of the dress, and her short hair with the long, HOT earrings is awesome. But that bottom coming up is just... weird... My mom and I disagree on this. She loved it, I'm not a fan.
- Miley Cyrus
Another one that just misses the mark. At first glance I loved this dress. It is very age appropriate and with a few changes it would really make her look like a princess. But upon closer inspection I wasn't a fan. The bust line is too low for her, so she looks like she's constantly slouching. That just ruins it for me.
- Kate Winslet
This whole outfit ends up as a mismatch of wrong. The top looks like it SHOULD be separate from the bottom like that weird pink prom dress the girl wears in 10 things I hate about you, but it's all one piece, which makes it weird. I think if it transitioned at the hips better it'd be much better. The color isn't that great on Kate Winslet either. Plus she's wearing GOLD JEWELRY with a silver dress - big no no!
- Elinor Burkett, or "Lady Kanye" as she's now being called
I'm sorry. Since when is it OK to wear a MOO-MOO to the Academy Awards?!?! This pic doesn't show it all but trust me - it was a moo-moo. Not to mention that it is NEVER OK to interrupt someone's speech, even if you did produce the movie. Did we learn NOTHING from Kanye West people?
- Jennifer Lopez
Well as long as we're wearing moo-moos, why not just cover ourselves in BUBBLE WRAP for the oscars? Cause that's exactly what JLO looks like. On the red carpet, in the sun, the fabric didn't look so bad. But she got on stage and we realized it seriously looks like BUBBLE WRAP. Plus there's just WAY too much of it. If it had stopped on the side it would've been fun but this things like the energizer bunny - it just keeps going and going and going...
- Vera Farmiga
Yet another energizer bunny dress... OK I love her in Up in the Air (even though I was sad with the twist cause it involved the house of two good friends of my family...). But what is this dress? I get that ruffles are in but at some point you've got to know when to STOP. It wouldn't be so bad if the top was straight or just detailed and the bottom was like that, ala Demi Moore or Elizabeth Banks. But all together? As Elizabeth Hasselbeck said, it's like mitochondria all over her!
- Diane Kruger
Another dress that WOULD be gorgeous if they had just stopped. If it was just a high necked all 1 fabric type thing, maybe with 1 line across it, it'd be at least OK if not beautiful. But this thing just has way too much going on, it's like they couldn't decide which design to use! Not to mention it really cuts her into 3 pieces in a very unflattering way, and makes her butt look big with all the ruffles on it. Not your best Diane.
- Barbara Streisand
This was definitely not a "Hello gorgeous" night for Barbara. I absolutely love that she got to present Best Director to Kathryn Bigelow, the 1st female director to win an Oscar, since Barbara was nominated for Prince of Tides (thank you SNL's coffee talk for teaching me that). But this outfit, which you can't get the full effect of in this pic so just trust me, was so bad. I like the mens wear look. But this was just too casual and not good. Oh Babs. Maybe some of the "people" that you need are new stylists.
- Charlize Theron
God there were SO many dresses that would be beautiful if not for just a few things - this is another example. The dress' cut and color is gorgeous. But what's up with the roses right over her boobs?? As my friend's mom said, "Is she lactating?"
And now the 3 worst of the night, in my opinion:
3. Faith Hill
I didn't even see this one on the red carpet until the best and worst dressed lists
today. And you don't get the full hideousness in this pic. It's so bad! She looks like a goth prom queen! Honey you are going to the Oscars, where the movie you're hubby's in is up for Best Picture - this is not OK! Oh Mississippi girl, you could've done so much better.
2. Zoe Saldana
The random sparkles down to bright purple is bad enough. But then the star of Avatar had to skin a muppet in order to make her dress. LEAVE THE MUPPETS ALONE! Seriously though... this dress is just... wrong...
And the worst dressed of the night... drumroll please...
1. SARAH JESSICA PARKER
Oh SJP! Honey what were you thinking! I love her, I adore Sex and the City, but Carrie Bradshaw would be so disappointed. I get that she was trying to go for the grecian look. And I guess the dress is pretty cool in the back. But from the front it looks like a giant yellow bag, or a pillow case. And her makeup is terrible. I applaud Sarah Jessica Parker for not getting plastic surgery and instead aging gracefully. I think she was incredibly courageous in the first Sex and the City movie to be shown without any makeup on at all at one point. I also realize she has 3kids and is in her 40s. But she looks TIRED. ON OSCAR NIGHT. Not acceptable. Then there's the hair - it's bigger than her head! And you made millions from Sex and the City, plus your husband's Matthew Broderick - couldn't you afford to buy some hairspray so you wouldn't have fly aways on the red carpet? Overall this was just terrible in my opinion. This to me was the worst of the night.
Here's a shocker - my mom LOVED that dress. What can you do?
Honorable mention - Sigourney Weaver (I left her off cause a guy stepped on her dress. There's no point in adding to the shame). Antonio Banderas - Antonio you used to be so sexy, couldn't you SHAVE for the Oscars? Amanda Seyfried - another bubble wrap number. And Molly Ringwald - not a total disaster but bad.
My thoughts on the winners later!
