2011 Oscars Best and Worst Dressed, the Blah and Postworthy

Forget about the most boring awards show ever! On to more important things...no it is not another revolution in the Middle East or why else would you be on this page? It is my fashion report of the 2011 Academy Awards.

Fortunately, the women took risks with their attire this year unlike the last few years when it looked like everyone was dressed by the same stylist. The red carpet trends were rich hues of blue mixed with sequins or luxurious satins, vibrant red, ballgown skirts, feathers, crystal mesh and the most popular of all: nudes.

My picks for best dressed are:

Sandra Bullock

After the Courtney Love meets Michelle Williams frock she wore at the Golden Globes matched with ill-fitting bangs straight out of a Tim Burton movie, she rebounded with this gorgeous red gown that stated Oscar winner back on the markeet.

While matchy matchy can look too childish, she utilizes different shades and textures of red in her clutch and red lips that add the right amount of visual interest. Her hair is pulled back in a loose updo that softly frames her face. Thumbs up.


 Mila Kunis

Not to be fooled with the boring fashion of Angelina Jolie, Mila brings it again opting for a beautiful soft lavendar instead of the emerald green that garnered so much attention at the Golden Globes. With just the right amount of sheer fabric to hint sexiness without being vulgar, she does sexy right. The lace on her breasts did resemble pasties from a distance but hey, I will let it slide.








Hilary Swank

Loved her look from the neck down. Hated the hair and she was lacking some nice drop earrings as she looked too bare and plain from the chest up.




Age Appropriate at its finest

Helen Mirren

Great look from head to toe but especially loving that gorgeous white hair! Her upright breasts put the twentysomethings to shame.














Worst Dressed

I won't spend too much time on these looks as the pictures tell a thousand words.


Cate Blanchett: Old tablecloth

Penelope Cruz: Tacky mall wear

Florence and the Machine: Didn't she wear this before?

Helena Bonham Carter: This is her style, she doesn't take fashion too seriously and she makes awards shows fun but it still doesn't look good.

Scarlett Johansson: Loved the back, hated the front and oh wait, the hair - sometimes a messy do is just that. Messy.




The Blah

Not good or bad just boring!

Natalie Portman: an improvement over her Golden Globes literal flower in bloom dress but a plain dress with matching shoes and purse is so blah.

Halle Berry: The dress itself is gorgeous but the color washed her out.

Anne Hathaway: Take notes from Sandra Bullock. Here is a case where matching red lips with your dress goes wrong.

Kim Kardashian and Kelly Osbourne: Kim K's plain black frock and Fashion Police's Kelly's grey dress with Amy Winehouse hair underwhelms.

Michelle Williams: Another case of actress washed out.

Reese Witherspoon: Reese, while the hair is the ish, your outfits are like your movies - safe and predictable.
