Oscars Best & Worst dressed (w/ PIPs)

[Susie]

All in all I was a little disappointed.  There was not as much that I looooooved as previous award shows.  But pretty dresses are still awesome, so here's my picks.  Please add yours!

Best:

I could've done without the headband, but she was just so damn charming and happy that I am ok with that.  And she and the dress were gorgeous.


I liked this, but did it remind anyone else of a Disney villainess?  Ursula?  Maleficent?  And I wish the black didn't end so abruptly when it met the illusion netting.






How is this woman heavily pregnant!?


It wasn't exciting, but it was executed really, really well.  +10 for gorgeous hair.  I had to pick between Amy Adams and Sandra Bullock for "basic but beautifully executed navy blue" and Amy's severe hair vs. Sandra Bullock's curls was the tiebreaker.

Worst:

Ok, so this wasn't so objectively awful.  But I really didn't like the way it fell on her chest, and it's so frumpy-seeming.


So many things wrong.




This isn't so very awful, as much as a waste of her good looks and a great color.

I think they only 2 that I really loved were Charlize Theron and Sandra Bullock.
I also did not like the white tuxes on the men at all.

[BeagleMama]

I really loved Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong'o too. Also liked:

   

I hated the trend of all the washed out pastels, creams and snow flake colors. Ick...

[vanillacourage]

I am sort of over all the cut-to-the-navel dresses we've seen in the last 5-10 years.  Lupita N'Yongo (sp?) is a gorgeous woman but with how low it was cut in front AND on the sides, I felt like she was one co-star hug away from being naked above the waist. 

ETA - I felt the same about Kate Hudson's dress - beautiful, but does it always have to be cut SO low?  Ribcage chic, I guess.

[countthestars]

I liked Julia Roberts! I hated Angelina's though. Her boobs look so flat and saggy. Like she just rolled out of bed braless boobs.

[hetty]

One of my favorites was the dress Pink wore during her performance. LOVED.

[qwerty]

Best: Charlize Theron, Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Lawrence
Worst: Sally Field (not awful, it just looked frumpy) and Liza Minelli (what the heck was that!!!)

[Susie]

I agree, Pink's was gorgeous. I wished she had a redder lipstick, but details.

ETA:

I actually liked Anna Kendrick's dress but that may have been because it wasn't as plain as all the other dresses.

[msmerymac]

I loved Viola Davis. Did NOT like Angelina or Julia.

I loooooved Camilla Alves. I would never wear a dress that structured or in pale pink, but I was fascinated by it. Apparently it was by an up-and-coming designer.

[mbcdefg]

Lupita was gorgeous. I liked the headband but not the earrings.

Sandra Bullock looked really classy. Ditto for Meryl Streep.

And Sally Field. I said, "Wow!" out loud when she came out to present.



I was meh on Jennifer Lawrence's dress (looked appropriate and flattering, but kind of boring), but I loved her hair and makeup. The necklace was really wide-set, though, which I found a little odd. I know it went down her back but I think she should've had it more closed-up in front and then done a lariat-style down the back (LOL at John Stamos in the background):



I didn't really like Jennifer Garner's dress on TV, and as I'm looking at the pic those shoes are terrible:




I thought Gabourey Sidibe's dress was pretty when she came out on stage to present, but I'm not digging it in the photo:



WTF? No. Put on some pants. And his date needs to fix her zipper.



Cate Blanchett looked nice:



Ugh, get a haircut:



Fix the makeup, Cristin Milioti:

[genet313]

I loved both navy dresses for Amy Adams and Sandra Bullock

Also like Kate Hudson

I also liked Cate Blanchett, but better on film than in photos, I think.

I really loved Lupita's color, it just completely popped.  A bit much on the neckline, but it works for her b/c she's so flat chested.

I was disappointed with Emma Watson, especially after her Golden Globes dress/pant thing (I think) that I really loved.  Also Anne Hathaway - I don't think black is her color at all.  Julia Roberts, just no.  Angelina Jolie was just weird on her.

I thought Anna Kendrick looked adorable. I also loved Kate Hudson and Emma Watson:

[raangoli]

I really liked Sandra Bullock, everything worked for her so well. But I really, really loved her earrings; I need to find the knock-off version.

[DirtySouth]

Kate Hudson was absolutely stunning.  Here is a pic that shows the back of the dress.

[shortstax]

I loved Sandra Bullock, and I actually liked Anna Kendrick's too---it was so not boring unlike a lot of dresses on the red carpet last night.

PS - I want to look like Sally Fields when I age

[shortstax]

Susie, who's that last person in the wine colored dress?

Ireland Baldwin

The only thing I really hated this year was the puufed, slicked back, Hillary Rodham Clinton-sequence hair--Naomi Watts, Portia do Rossi, and Jennifer Lawerence looked awful from the shoulders up

Whaaa??? How???

I also hated it. The way the dress came up into strange points on either side was weird, and the clear straps were ridiculously ugly.   I just didn't get it.

Honestly, there was no dress I loved.  I thought Lupita looked the best overall, but I hated the color.  Sandra Bullock also looked great, but really, she only looked better than everyone else because everyone else looked so boring or washed out, not because it was a memorable dress.

[Ashley&Scott]

Can we talk about Kelly Ripa? She is way too thin...does she have an eating disorder?

I remember seeing her as a guest on a talk show a few years ago. I can't reber which one. But she was sitting with one arm propped behind her , which made her collarbone jut out. The host actually stopped her on camera and was like "wtf is wrong with your collarbone?"

She has looked scary for awhile IMO.

[skib]

Lupita's dress was absolute perfection to me. My favorite of the night. If I were going to the Oscars that's what I'd want to wear.

Jennifer Lawrence can do no wrong. Ever.

[Deleted]

Sandra bullock wins. She has convinced me to always wear navy or a non-black dress.

Yeah, she is really thin, alarmingly so.  I try not to get too much into critiquing bodies (as much as I love critiquing dresses) though, so I'll just say I hope she's well, and I hope girls don't aspire to that shape.

[Deleted]

Jared Leto looks like Jesus.

[ijack]

I thought Lupita looked stunning - that beautiful blue against her gorgeous skin was perfect. I seriously love her. I also loved Kristen Bell's dress, though I'm not 100% sure I loved it on her - she was a little pale looking. And I loved Jared Leto's hair - he's so pretty!!

[chia]

Worst dressed has to go to Whoppi Goldberg, hands down. But, i don't think she gives a shit.

Jennifer Lawrence and Sandra Bullock were my faves. I also really liked the dress Bette Midler wore when she sung... it was really flattering.

I actually liked Lupita's headband. The dress wasn't my favorite.

I hated Gabby Sidibae (however you spell it) dress.

Makeup? I hated Idina Menzel's makeup. Really liked Jennifer Garner's.

I FORGOT ABOUT HER.  I must've blocked it.

It looked like a terrible version of Julia Roberts' Golden Globes dress, which I didn't like the first time and liked even less in the sloppy version on Whoopi.
