Oscar Fashion 2009: My take on the Good, the Bad and the plain WTF!

I really enjoy Oscars for the simple reason of not only movies, also Oscar fashion. Here are my pics for this years The Good, The Bad and The WTF.

In my GOOD category selected 3 movie stars, which consistently make my best dressed list on different occasions. First and probably my top choice is Natalie Portman in Rodarte. I was scared when I heard pastels are in this year, but he took my breath away in this lavender dress. Rodarte is now officially on my list of designers to watch in 2009! Next is Angelina Jolie, which these days can do no wrong. She makes me LOVE black! That's all the needs to be said here! Finally, Jennifer Aniston in Valentino. The dress it AMAZING and she looked amazing in it! I have a bead-bias... and Italian one for that matter.


In the next section it seems like I had a vendetta against cream/nude/white colored dresses. Maybe its a vendetta against pale people in them. Either hit the sun or throw some color on your body.
First we have, Evan Rachel Wood in an Elie Saab gown, which is great but looks like something from Elie's Pronovias wedding collection. Possibly... it really is is. The going forward with the wedding theme is Penelope Cruz and SJP. I <3 SJP and DIOR, and I love Penelope probably most of them all, but I've seen both the designer and the actresses do much better in the fashion department. Finally, Anne Hathaway in an amazing Armani Prive chosen by Rachel Zoe... I LOVE the dress and it fits well. Once again .... Anne needs color.... Emerald green maybe? I think colorful jewelry would do this dress justice.


In my WTF section I have the repeat x100 offender : Jessica Biel. I want to personally fire her stylist. I know this is Prada...but let's be honest...Miucca hasn't done anything really amazing since her Venetian collection circa 2004. It's the Oscars, if your dress makes this much of a statement with dimension - PLEASE PUT YOUR HAIR UP! When it comes to Beyonce I am not a hater of curves. Embrace them - just don't do it in a hedious dress that will make you look like you're wrapped in curtains.
As to Miley I am not sure how you go from amazing, red VALENTINO to lil mermaids favorite designer! We know your soul was sold to Disney Miley but really?!? She is young... there is hope!
