Oscar Fashion

We can all agree that studying for finals sucks. Even though the Oscars were a couple weeks ago, take a quick break and drool over some good old Oscar fashion. Lord knows the red carpet would be much more fun than studying in Green right now.
 
BEST

I’m a huge fan of risk-takers, and this is truly a piece of artistic mastery. The dreamy lilac color, detailed embroidery, and classy upswept hair completes Cate Blanchett’s look.

Hilary Swank’s surely worth a million bucks in this stunning creation. The ruffled feathers at the lower half of the dress add a unique touch, and the blue and gold colors contrast each other perfectly, emanating sheer elegance.
 
 

A-
The trend of attention-grabbing ruffles continue to impress. This dress brings out Halle Berry’s flawless golden skin, and the bodice hugs in all the right places.
 
 
 

A-
This look epitomizes classic Hollywood glamour, showing how a basic black gown can be a stunner. Sure, we’ve seen it before, but it’s nonetheless gorgeous. However, even a tinge of more glitter would have made it appear tacky.

B+
The sheerness of Mila Kunis’ dress makes it a bit too provocative for the Oscars. But nevertheless the soft color and delicate designs gives an angelic look.
 
 

A-
Here’s an example of sheer material done right, with just the perfect amount of exposure to stay classy. The deep magenta color, complemented by the short hairdo gives Scarlett Johansson an alluring aura.
 
 
 
 
 

A-
Timeless Celine Dion in a gorgeous futuristic gown = priceless. Flattering her in all the right places, she pulls off the metallic colors flawlessly.
 
 

B+
Channeling Celine Dion’s futuristic look, I applaud Gweneth Paltrow for straying away from typical red carpet style with this shimmery straight- fitted gown, although it’s somewhat forgettable.

B+
Natalie Portman demonstrates the right way to show off a baby bump! The flowy material and deep purple color gives off a regal, goddess look.
 
 

B+
The bright color and asymmetric layers look stunning on Jennifer Hudson’s gorgeous new bod. However I can’t help but picture her in this going to high school prom rather than a star-studded gala. 
 
 
 
B
Amy Adams’ million dollar dress has gotten quite the attention, but to be honest, there’s nothing spectacular in the actual cut and shape of the dress. Her lackluster hair took away from a truly red-carpet look.
 
 

B-
A little blinded by the intense ornate bedazzle on the dress bodice, on top of Mandy Moore’s pearly white skin? It’s also topped with sleeves cut at a somewhat awkward length.
 
WORST:
 

C
It’s excessively matronly, frumpy, and basically a large embroidered doily on Melissa Leo.
 
 

C-
Marisa Tomei doesn’t seem to get the ruffles right, and this ill-fitting gown looks rather cheap.
 
 
 

C
The usual flawless red-carpet fashionista, Penelope Cruz, fails to impress in an ill-fitting, tacky sparkly gown. Yet her postpartum glow is evident!
 
 
 
D
Was this Florence Welch’s attempt to bring back the 1800’s? I doubt they’d approve of this either.
