Another awards season has come and gone, culminating last night in the
83rd Annual Academy Awards. And while the show itself left a little to be desired (Anne Hathaway is apparently a "Woo Girl," James Franco was seemingly high, the show itself was pretty darn boring), there were, of course, some truly amazing looks on the red carpet. Check out my favorites after the jump.

While I didn't really love
Reese Witherspoon's dress -- it looked like a knockoff of the Valentino Julia Roberts wore back in 2001 -- I absolutely loved her Barbie-esque high ponytail. While many celebrities went safe with their hair on the red carpet last night, leaving it down in loose ringlets, at least Reese took a chance and did something fun!

Motherhood most certainly agrees with last night's Best Actress winner
Natalie Portman. The jewel-toned, flowing
Rodarte dress and tasseled
Tiffany earrings looked perfect against her skin tone, and her baby bump was perfectly accented.

What's not to love about the
Elie Saab dress
Mila Kunis wore last night? The intricate cutout lace panels, the flowing train, the pale lavender hue, the lace cup details at the bust ... all added up to one winning look.

I love to see a teenager looking age appropriate on the red carpet, and last night
Hailee Steinfeld did just that. She helped design her sparkle-encrusted
Marchesa dress -- and, paired with a high bun and slender headband, she looked every inch the sophisticated yet girly ballerina.

To me,
Gwyneth Paltrow can do no wrong. She was simply stunning in a futuristic, shimmering
Calvin Klein sheath, complete with a jewel-encrusted peacock pin by Louis Vuitton at the hip.

I really love that
Cate Blanchett takes chances on the red carpet. Her beaded lavender dress by
Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci was cool, exotic and extremely sophisticated with her close-cropped blonde bob.
I really didn't love Paltrow's look. The dress did nothing for her. I think I would have preferred it on someone like Halle.
ReplyDeleteToo many on the red carpet looked washed out by their choices.
Of everyone I saw last night, my favorites were Mila Kunis and Gwyneth. And I was so jealous of Anne Hathaway's hair!
