The Glam & The Sham

Alright, so I don't usually do a post on Hollywood's Fashion shebang... But I can't help it this time. I just lovelovelove The Oscars, because it's all glamorous and classy. Plus, I get to see all my favorite movie stars, and it's an inner satisfaction to have the ability to name every actor/actress that goes on stage.


I missed the Red Carpet opening, so I checked out The Fashion Police.net to keep myself updated :D Only managed to watch bits n' pieces of the whole night (double tasking with Further Maths : BAD IDEA!). Thought it was BRILLIANT that The Academy paired Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin as the hosts. They were a hilarious pair xD

Anyhooo... Let's go straight to the amazing gowns! With a few sore-eyes in between :/

Helen Mirren

This is my ultimate favorite! Helen totally nailed that dress marvelously! Age appropriate, with subtle fabric to cover her shoulders. Definitely better than fugly aunty shawls xD She's definitely an idol with such great talent. The way she ages gracefully really amazes everyone

Miley Cirus

What in the world? I never approve of undergarments outside an outfit. They are called UNDERgarments for a reason. Liked the bottom half, though. Some may credit it as bold to wear something like that, but I don't think it was appropriate for Miley (who's being watched by tonnes of Disney kids) to parade something like that.

Meryl Streep

Another amazing woman, who's so full of talent and charisma. I watched her movies since I was a little kid. In my opinion she's by far one of the greatest actresses in Hollywood, and her performance in Julie&Julia is the proof for it :) Although the dress was a tad bit boring, but her awesomeness overpowers it :D

Rachel McAdams

Golly geee... I just looove this dress. Totally caught my eye. It has such a beautiful flow, it kinda creates the imaginary wind effect! She's gorgeous in it! Love her toned figure!

Kristen Stewart

Beautiful dress with just the right density of fabric that worked so well with her skin tone, but she failed to make it shine so badly. Bah! What a waste of assets!

Zoe Saldana

All I have to ask is : Who let the (coloured) poodles out?!

Anna Kendrick

Ah I just love the off shoulder, the way the beautiful soft and dainty fabric wrapped around her small figure; and that peek of laces around the slit. Nicely done :)

Jeniffer Lopez in Giorgio Armani Prive

Never a fan of J-Lo's fashion sense and although this changed The Fashion Police's mind, it definitely did not change mine. What is that? Bubble wrap? And the way the "fabric" was gathered to her hip, is just disastrous. Somehow anything on her would look rather trashy :x

Amanda Seyfried

Another bubble wrap-looking dress! But at least it still looks rather decent and not recyclable-trash-like. And the way Amanda pull it off, gave it a modern spin.

Mariah Carey

Again, anything on this lady looks TRASHY! She's trying to throw a va-va-voom, but not at every edge of your body! Booms everywhere would just make it look like your assets are competing with each other for MAJOR attention. Like every other Red Carpet moments, this dress look 2 sizes too small for her.

Sandra Bullock

After receiving a Razzie, she actually walked off with an Oscar. Go figure! This was supposed to be her defining moment, because she has never really gotten the spotlight on her work, which hasn't been great. I was shocked she won. But oh well, I haven't watched The Blind Side to judge. This is not a winning look though. Unlike Halle Berry who walked off as a winner looking like the Golden Statue itself last year! This gives me a *yaaaaawwwwnnnn*

Elizabeth Banks in Versace

I just love Versace's designs. They're always simple yet elegant, with an edgy spin to it :D Love the bust area all the way to the hips. Not a fan of all that ruffles, a bit too much going on down there. Swallowed the attention from her LOVELY shoes! She looks stunning :)

Charlize Theron in Dior

Last but every bit of the LEAST! We always expect the best from Charlize, because she has the killer body and the KILLER designer. But the past few years have been such disappointments. This is worse than the awkward enormous ribbon that she brought along on her shoulder last year. What's on Charlize's mind? "I should definitely draw their attention on my boobs, that way people would shut up...!"

That wraps it up! Phew! Seriously, not used to writing about fashion, thus lots to crack up. But I've been opening my eyes to all these... Graduation night is coming real soon, and I'm on a dress hunt! This year's Oscars gave me a pretty good insight of ideas on what to look for. Next up, SHOPPING SPREEEEEE! :D

Off to bury myself in work, again. TOODLES!
