So, as everyone who has ever heard a noise uttered from my mouth knows, I am a huge flaming The Social Network stan. It was the movie that I wanted to take all the awards, and which I was almost certain would. When The King's Speech was said to be a front runner, I decided I would watch it, but I was really disappointed. I expected so much from what people were saying would be the movie to knock down The Social Network. It was still a pretty good film, but definitely not better in any aspect. Months before today, everyone has been saying TKS would win Best Picture because, to make the story short, TKS is the perfect formula for Best Picture and it was exactly what the academy wants. As unfair as that seems for such amazing original and cutting edge artists like Nolan and Fincher, it's obvious that the fans and critics all hail them to be the winners.
Now moving on to the dresses. I do enjoy award shows because it's very interesting to see what the stars come up with that are both beautiful and still please the public.
So Elie Saab Haute Couture was going to be a sure presence at the Oscars. The collection was just one red carpet worthy dress after another. It was the lovely Mila Kunis who got to don the beautiful lavender number. She accessorized with a simple clutch, earrings, some bangles, and a ring. It was flawless and gorgeous, but I think I would have been rendered speechless had I not seen this dress prior to Mila wearing it.
Mandy Moore wore a stunning Monique Lhuillier dress. I've seen little of Mandy Moore since her A Walk to Remember days, but I have noticed that she's recently been popping up in some best dressed lists for her promotion for Tangled. This look was wonderful since she looked like a modern day princess (classic Mandy Moore look). I do have some complaints about her hair. It seems too neat that it leaves her shoulders bare. Also, I would have liked a different colored lipstick, but that's as extensive as my complaints go for this look. Everything else is wonderful!
If only I was half as fabulous as Hailee is when I was 14. Would you all go batshit if I said she designer this dress herself? Yes, she did. With the help of Marchesa, she wore her own design to the Oscars. I just. I can't process the fabulousness that is this little girl.
Amy Adams wore a dress by L'Wrenn Scott. Amy loves to sparkle (as seen during the Globes). She does beautifully so in this amazing blue dress. I just really do not like the accessories she wore it with. A black clutch would have been great. These emerald green jewels just throw off the whole look. It's still beautiful, nevertheless.
Probably one of the best dressed of the night was Cate Blanchett. Maybe it's because I have a bias for anything Givenchy, but it cannot be denied that this was an amazing look. As repulsed as I am by ball clusters, I think the beauty of the details makes up for it. I remember the moment I fell in love with the collection this dress came from. Cate was wise in choosing an avant garde couture gown that also pleases the public.
The amazing Michelle Williams, who I was rooting for to win Best Actress, wore a Chanel Couture gown. I didn't even realize this was Chanel because it looked different on the runway and, for the record, it looks much better on Michelle. Everything- the hair, the make-up, the dress, the jewelry- just work so perfectly. Michelle was definitely the most put together with no misplaced rings here and no mismatched clutch there. So elegant as always!
Well, that's it for the best dressed! I am still not over the loss of David Fincher (who I think is an absolute genius!) over Tom Hooper, but I have the company of the million other outraged fans. Any thoughts on best dressed? How about the winners/losers? xx
