With all of the awards shows’ red carpets, one might assume these actresses had plenty of practice before the big night. The Oscars are the one night an actress should probably be on point when it comes to fashion (excluding Helena Bonham Carter because we know that’s just not going to happen). But then again, we can’t except everyone to get it right. Or what else could we laugh at the next day? Naturally there were some beautiful gowns on the red carpet Sunday evening, but I’m here to talk about the not-so beautiful ones.
Oscar-winner circa 1992 Marisa Tomei wore a 1950 couture Charles James dress from Lily et Cie. Anytime I think of a vintage gown, I automatically assume it would be awesome. I shouldn’t go around assuming things. This gown isn’t terrible, but it isn’t great. The bodice is fantastic, however that’s where the good stops. The layered bubble skirt seems like an after thought, as if Charlie thought the dress was too simple and had some leftover organza laying around and stuck it on the bottom. I adore Marisa Tomei. This dress? No.
Melissa Leo won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and dropped the F-bomb during her acceptance speech. If I wasn’t a lady, I would have dropped the F-bomb while looking at this custom Marc Bouwer dress. The silhouette is fabulous, but I’m wondering what made Marc decide to use a thousand doilies instead of fabric to make the dress.
I always thought when I married Ryan Reynolds it would be a tough act to follow Scarlett Johansson. Turns out, I’m more confident than ever, because I don’t wear a table cloth in disguise as Dolce & Gabbana gown. The lovely actress showed her gorgeous figure (and black underwear) in an eggplant, backless gown. I am a big fan of lace, but this lace isn’t even a pretty lace. I actually like her messy hair, but the dress is just too blah for such a sultry lady.
