The hubs and I are headed to NYC this weekend for a bit of much needed R&R and this work by Amina Benbouchta just spoke to me.

Oscar's Dress Wins!

I'll be honest, this years dresses were a little lackluster for me. With that said, there were a few shining stars: 

Emma Watson in Vera Wang 

I love Emma's style and she always looks put together. Her gown was a little low key for such a major event, but she pulls it off so well! 

Jenna Tatum 

WOWZAs! That illusion top is stunning and melts beautifully into the fluffy skirt. 

Charlize Theron 

Charlize looks like glamour barbie!

Cate Blanchet in Armani 

Oh so pretty! Light, airy and perfect for her coloring. 

Bette Midler in Reem Acra

Reem's vibrant gown is PERFECT for Bette's vivacious personality. 

Calista Flockart in Jacob and Co

I love the texture and cut on this gown.

Lupita Nyong'o in Prada 

But the winner of the evening is Lupita in the lovely robin's egg blue Prada gown. The shape is lovely too!
