because of the gowns. Oh the gowns. The
Oscars are the prom of Hollywood and this is where the starlets bring it. Here are a few of my favorites:
Amanda Seyfried in McQueen
This gown is BEAUTIFUL on Amanda. Her alabaster skin glows in the shimmery lilac color and her figure can certainly pull off such a slim sheath.
Stacy Keibler in Naeem Khan
I love the art deco vibe in this stunner of a gown. Stacy Keibler is tall and statuesque, so a column with detailing is the perfect choice for her.
Emmanuelle Riva
Emmanuelle Riva has made history by becoming the oldest Oscar nominee at age 85 (today is her birthday!) and she looks awesome in this dress. The color is lovely on her!
Norah Jones in Tadashi Shoji
I love this dress. It's young and pretty and flattering. I wonder what the fabric is like in person, but it photographed beautifully.
Jennifer Lawrence in Dior
This dress takes my breath away. Jennifer Lawrence looks like an angel and she really WEARS this gown. Bravo.
Jennifer Hudson in Cavalli
Perfect perfect. The color is fab on Jennifer Hudson, the shimmer is just right and the shape flatters her newly healthy figure. I also love the sleeves and the modesty.
Samantha Barks in Valentino
Now this is how you do contemporary va-va-voom.
Kristin Chenoweth in Tony Ward
Oh Kristin Chenoweth. What can you not do? The teeny tiny singer hit the nail on the head with this one. Classically feminine.
The winner for me tonight was................
Amy Adams in Oscar de la Renta
If I had this dress I would wear it all the time. Literally you would have to peel it off my body. While I was twirling. Amy Adams can totally pull off princess and this icy blue shade is a dream on her.
What'd you think??
