"I have always said that, when in doubt about
true style .... you should rather 'take away" than 'add on".
This year at the 80th Academy Awards, it was evident that the
night belonged to those that understood elegance."
2008 celebrates 8
decades and many
fashionable, and
defining Oscar
moments: the gilded
designs of the '40s,
the sweetheart
statements of the
'50s, the pinups of
the '60s, the
revealing gowns of
the '70s and the
dramatic designer
gowns of
the '80s,
and this year, it
looked like they
were all represented
as fashion and
stylish dressing
comes full circle.
The
Academy Awards
always reflect the
incomparable
elegance of
Hollywood, but also
has its fair share
of "Hits" and
"Misses"
Abso-fashion-lutely trends at the 80th
Oscars
(80th Academy Awards)
-
Styles were this OR that, and
not this AND that
-
Very little (or none at all)
detail on some gowns.
-
Multiple "ladies in red".
-
Chiffons and silk taffetas
-
Darker jewel colours (and
even black) were popular
-
Jewelry was not the focus!
... and often miss-matched.
-
Handbags extremely small and
often ill-matched
-
Drapery were everywhere
-
Hair was almost "untidy" but
organized
-
Many diagonal
necklines

Nancy O'Dell - The gown
many matric-farewell girl would want to wear, but very few can.
Luckily "all" stayed in place... I suspect, by looking at
her tan-lines, that boob-tjoops are a fashionable item?
Definitely sexy, but not so classy, Me O''Dell.

Keisha Whitaker -
Almost flawless and almost bridal. Hollywood glamour that will
inspire many to come...

Heidi Klum
in John Galliano Couture -
Dynamic and dramatic, but with accessories that match the carpet
and not the dress! Very few women can get away with this
overpowering look. Me Klum does!Fashion

Helen Mirren
in Georges Chakra -
Spencer-like sleeves... this might look like an after thought. I
do not mind the drapery, the colour is beautiful, but the
sleeves look borrowed from another gown.

Hilary Swank
in Versace - Soft
in black. Stylishly embellished with lace flowers.
Would have loved to see some bling on the ears.

Jenifer Hudson
in Roberto Cavalli -
Looks a little like "something" on top of another... Me Hudson
celebrates her fuller figure with this, but should rather have
not!

Julie Christie
in Tanya Gill - This is
why short is a no-no on the red carpet, --- and another spencer
sleeve add-on? I am completely confused by this.

Catherine Heigl
in Escada - One of my
two favourites of the evening! Classy and chic!
Drapery galore! ...at perfect angles, and a simple knotted
circle as a focus on the shoulder.

Kelly Preston
in Roberto Cavalli -
Hemline gone wrong? It easily looks like the fabric was not
enough to do the drapery.

Marion Cotillard
in Jean Paul Gaultier -
A risky but beautiful mermaid style...
complete with "fish scales" on the gown.

 Penelope Cruz
in
Chanel Couture - Too
much "Moulin Rouge" going on! Are her dresses always too
long, or is she just too short for everything she likes wearing?

 Renee Zellweger
in
Carolina Herera -
Shining like a star! This is what a true Hollywood star
should shine like...

Tilda Swinton
in Alber
Elbaz for Lanvin -
I often criticize what me Swinton is wearing, but
this...? I suppose its lots less than disastrous. Special
care should be taken when "safe dressing": ...that it does
not become "boring dressing..."

Amy Adams
in
Proenza Schuler - What
would the belt be for? And who did me Adams borrow the
pretty vintage bag from?

Anne Hathaway
in
Marchesa - Flowers
are for arrangements in pots, not on dresses, but the colour
really compliments Me Hathaway's fair skin.

Calista Flockhart
in
Vintage Valentino -
Gothic and regal! The beauty of this gown
is in the simplicity thereof.

Cameron Diaz
in Dior by John Galliano
-
Did Me Diaz grab this crinkling masterpiece from
the washing line? ... or should it look like the iron was cold?

Cate Blanchett
in Dries

Pregnant women are beautiful and almost always forgiven for fashion
mistakes. I hope Me Blanchett does not stay pregnant
forever!

in Oscar
de la Renta -
Too long, but engagingly opulent! Love the
handbag, not the bracelet, and please loose the necklace...

Never in a million years did I think I would like
this ensemble, but with Me Kidman being pregnant, this is
incredibly stylish and perfect for her!
