So, I know I am a bit behind on writing about the Oscars…. I actually watched a good amount of the Academy Awards this year and I really thought all of the actresses looked super-great, so I had planned on doing a fairly extensive blog post about my faves. Then, my computer totally died. Magically, Travis was able to revive it and I actually got some work done today! Yay! I was going to forget about my red carpet post all together, but I noticed that many of my picks for best dressed have been landing on the worst dressed lists across the web… so I wanted to show my support! ha!

My favorite dresses from the Academy Awards (that I saw):

I want reiterate that I really thought everyone looked superb – they are movie stars, after all – but I especially loved these dresses. I am drawn to things that are unique… classic is always beautiful, but a little boring.

• The first dress is Givenchy worn by Zoe Saldana. I just think it is awesome. She looks so beautiful in purple and I love that it has sparkle and a lot of flair. This was my very favorite dress!
• The second is Sarah Jessica Parker, of course, in Chanel. Lots of people did not like this dress, but I thought it was unique and pretty. I like that SJP takes risks. Now, her hair, on the other hand, I did not love…
• The third is an Elie Saab dress worn by Rachel McAdams. I think it is so fun and young, but still really elegant. It looks like a dress you would wear to have a good time at the event – not be the very fanciest. It is unpretentious glamour. (Is that an oxymoron?)

What were your favorites of the night? Any red carpet looks you really disliked?

   yay! I am glad you agree. It seems like it was a controversial dress… lots of people didn’t like it, but I don’t know why or how! It is so beautiful to me!

   Helen Mirren. I thought I liked Sandra Bullock’s, but after seeing the whole dress, I became bored. I absolutely did not like Jessica Parker’s. I was pretty disappointed with all of them.

   disappointed? I thought everyone looked so great! Maybe I was just in a good mood… You are right about Helen Mirren. Her dress was beautiful.

   yeah…I did not like Sara Jessica Parkers dress at all. I sat there wondering why she would pick such a thing.,

   i thought that crazy lady that came on stage when that prudence movie won an award looked the best.

   My favourite was Cameron Diaz dress, it was an Oscar de la Renta! I think the bad looking thing on SJP was his terrible hair! :S

    Oooo. I loved Cameron Diaz, too! She looked great.

    SJP’s hair was really odd… I think she had some extensions mixed in, too. Weird.
