but anyway, on with the red carpet FUN. emma's best and worst dressed. women only, because men are boring ;)
best dressed:
amy adams. this is sooooo pretty! i love the color, i love the silohuette, and although some critics say it wasn't fancy enough for the oscars, i completely disagree as i believe it embodies understated elegance.
heidi klum. i don't why she was even at the oscars, but she might have been THE very best dressed there, so go her. i also LOOOOOVE the styling--the hair is fantastic, the makeup is perfect. lots of women wore red to the oscars but very, very few WORKED red. heidi worked it. there's a difference. this is it.
keri russell. i have had a soft spot in my heart for keri russell ever since felicity which solidified after waitress. i'm so happy she was able to go to the oscars, to introduce a nominee for best song from august rush (which i never saw but whatever) because this is really lovely. ethereal. prettyprettypretty.
marion cotillard. i will confess, i haven't even seen la vie en rose yet, which i know, is a huge shock, terribly crazy, but i fucking LOVE marion cotillard. i think she is insanely beautiful, exceptionally talented, and she seems really sweet. nate asked me last night who i would want to sit next to at the oscars, and i said either jack nicholson (because how fun would that be?) or marion cotillard, if only so i could speak french with her all night long. either way, this dress took a while for me to warm up to, but it grew on me, and now i'm kind of loving it. and i don't think anyone else could wear it as well, but because marion is so gorgeous and so french and so amazing, she does. so good for her. and apparently, it's some scandale that she wore jean-paul gaultier. i forget why. she usually wears someone else, evidently, but i think it's only appropriate.
runners up, best dressed:
jennifer garner. i wish this was purple. that's kinda all i have to say about it. i also didn't like her pimping out rachel zoe during her red carpet interview, but that's because i hate rachel zoe. either way, i like this. almost.
katherine heigl. i think this fits PERFECTLY, which is important. i like the red. i'm just not a huge fan of the hair or the makeup particularly. she looks older for some reason. just because you're married now doesn't mean you have to look like a mom, katherine heigl! you're young. be young. i really liked that she said she was nervous when she was presenting. even if she kinda seemed bitchy on the red carpet, she seemed real during the ceremony, and i can appreciate that. next time, pull your hair up.
kristen chenoweth. she's kinda slouchy in this picture, but the dress is fucking cool. again, i really wasn't a huge fan of all the black. and even though the red was a little tired, this would have been reeeeally cool in red. i also really liked her makeup. and she's just super-talented and seems down to earth.
helen mirren. if you tell me this isn't the hottest older lady you've ever seen, you are a liar.
AND now, for the worst dressed of the evening:
diablo cody, writer, Juno. come ON. put in SOME effort. yes, we all know you used to be a stripper. and now you're an oscar-award winning writer. dress appropriately, please.
jennifer hudson. just because it's an improvement on last year's disaster doesn't make it right. her boobs look SOOOO uncomfortable, like they're screaming for some breathing room. everything just looks a bit one size too small, doesn't it? like it's cutting off circulation in certain places? i wish it were a cream color, not bright white. i wish it fit better. i wish she would get a new stylist...
jessica alba. what is going on up near her face? feathers? plumage? really? penelope cruz kinda did the same thing, but hotly. maybe it's because i don't like jessica alba. naturally, i DO like the color.
nicole kidman. the dress itself looks cheap to me and as though it will wrinkle like crazy all night long. the 'bling' is just stupid. i don't even mind nicole kidman, i fucking LOVED her in moulin rouge and thought she was the most fabulous, but she seems to be going downhill since then. shame.
rebecca miller. oh dear.
tilda swinton. who, for some reason until really recently, i always got confused with sting's wifey trudie styler (TS, TS, i guess). this is awful. it's like she went to wal-mart, bought some black velvet (blaaack velvet! in that little girl's smiiiiile!!), cut it up, threw it over her un-styled hair and her makeup-less face, and called it a dress. then she walked up on STAGE to accept her BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS AWARD in THAT. i would be so embarrassed. but maybe that's her thing.
runner-up, worst dressed, because i can't decide whether or not i truly don't like it:
ellen page. we all knew she was going to wear black, but i kept wishfully hoping that she would show in something jaw-droppingly gorgeous, something rich and decadent and bright and fabulous. but this could be worse, i suppose. i do like the vintage-y vibe, i just wish it had more shape. and i know she's only just-turned-21, but i almost wish she had taken ballet when she was little or something, so she had a bit more poise. and better posture. but i LOVE her and think she's terrific, so she's forgiven.
so that's it, i suppose, my red carpet round up. now i have to go watch these films. perhaps there will be a post about how george clooney was ROBBED! in the future...just you wait.
i'll leave you with a little miley cyrus and that really cute pose she's always doing on red carpets these days. p.s. why the HELL was MILEY CYRUS at the ACADEMY AWARDS?! for some reason, i almost loathe miley cyrus. maybe i'm just jealous of all of this:
or maybe not.
