My Take on the 2015 Oscars Red Carpet

It’s all so subjective. I loved dresses that others panned…I chuckled at gowns that others thought were glorious. So here it is…one more person’s (pretty much) irrelevant opinions.

The Good

Emma Stone

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Viola Davis

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scarlett Johansson

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zoe Saldana

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meryl Streep

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jennifer Aniston

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jennifer Hudson

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cate Blanchett

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Bad

Naomi Watts – That black band makes it look like she’s wearing a gown over a tube top.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Solange Knowles – Too. Much. Fabric.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chrissy Teigen – Not enough fabric.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Felicity Jones – Overwhelming, but not in a good way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jennifer Lopez – If boob tape didn’t exist, she’d never have anything to wear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lorelei Linklater – I know she’s just a kid, but this is trying way too hard to be a grown-up…the wrong kind of grown-up.

 

The Oscars

Either I’m becoming bored and jaded or there really isn’t much to talk about. Most of the dresses at The Oscars didn’t warrant being placed in either my “love” or “hate” category, although a significant number of them fell firmly into “meh.”

With that said, here’s my take on last night’s dresses.

THE GOOD

Charlize Theron–Saw her in Barneys in Beverly Hills last week, and I’m smitten.

Jane Fonda–Making growing older look like a walk in the park

Jennifer Hudson–Rockin’ the blue bling

Sandra Bullock–Elegant, in spite of the sheer panels

Stacy Keibler–Of course, she looks great in everything. Good work, George.

Robin Roberts–Magnificent color on a magnificent woman

THE BAD

Melissa McCarthy–Singularly unflattering…from the color to the cut

Louise Roe–This reminds me of the scene from “Carrie” where the bucket of blood is dumped on Sissy Spacek.

Kelly Rowland–Just. Too. Much.

Helena Bonham Carter–Ah, Helena, you never let me down!

Brandi Glanville–Why even bother putting on clothes? If those boobs survived the evening, I’d be shocked.

Anne Hathaway–Darts as nipples…amusing look

Ravishing in Red

Kudos to Jennifer Hudson for her commitment to weight loss. That kind of dedication warrants a spectacular red Lanvin dress.
