I’m always excited about the Oscar after-parties because the celebs often sport outfits they wouldn’t dare wearing on the prestigious Academy red carpet… unfortunately this year, some of them took the idea a little too far! I don’t know what happened, but it looked like Malin, Rita, Gaga, Irina and Gigi were all fighting for the « most naked while actually wearing clothes » title. A competition that started last summer with the Adam Selman dress Rihanna wore at the CFDA Awards…
Since we’re off to such a « good » start, let’s look at all the other worst dressed of the night!
WORST DRESSED
1- Dree Hemingway in Chloe
I’m not saying the dress is that ugly (the shoes are though!), but it shouldn’t be worn anywhere else than in Ibiza’s hippie side of the island. And I know the barely-there makeup is trending, but come on…
2- Marion Cotillard in Giambattista Valli Couture
Marion, il va falloir que tu m’expliques pourquoi tu es passée de la sublime robe Christian Dior des Oscars à cette horreur? Et tant qu’à y être, c’est quoi le tissu blanc à la taille… tu as noué la chemise de ton chéri pour que la jupe ne tombe pas? (I switched to French, but I wanted to make sure she understands if she reads this one day.)
3- Miley Cyrus in Schiaparelli couture
The pants are kind of cute, I’ll give her that. But the matador jacket and that awful fishnet around her neck… Unless she’s going fishing after the party, I really don’t understand!
4- Andie Macdowell in Leanne Marshall
This brown + rust + beige has to be the worst colour combination I’ve seen in a looong time! And don’t get me started on the fabric…
5- Selena Gomez in Louis Vuitton
When you wear a dress this covered-up, don’t go for such a busy pattern! Ok, I’m getting dizzy… Neeext!
WORST TRENDS
White cover-ups
It looks like you had two choices last night: the black naked dress or the white fully covered-up gown… and I’m not sure which one is worse. I guess naked wins, but these four dresses are a fierce competition!
Red & orange
Yes it’s Monica Lewinsky! Now that we’re passed that, can somebody tell me what’s up with the short sleeve (this goes for you too Nina Dobrev)? And while I’m asking questions… what is that pattern Camilla Belle?
HITS AND MISSES
The naked dress… part 2
So the naked dress also came in other colours… and while I love how sexy J-Lo looks in this Zuhair Murad stunner, the sheer panels on Heidi’s dress just accentuate how thin she is (is it just me or did she loose a lot of weight?)
Graphic black & white
Here’s another example of a trend done well (bravo Zoe Saldana in Prabal Gurung) and oh so wrong… Sarah and Margot, once again, I’m getting dizzy!
White Pantsuit
When you decide to wear a pantsuit at an Oscar party, you have to make sure it looks more night than day… and that’s exactly what Naomi Watts didn’t think of (add a turtleneck and she’s ready for a full 8hrs at he office). But kudos to Leslie Mann for looking SO elegant in this Giorgio Armani tuxedo pantsuit!
She should’ve kept the Oscar dress on…
… and the makeup too!
Good thing she changed…
I have to say that I wasn’t crazy about Chloe Grace Moretz’s Miu Miu floral ball gown, so I’m pretty happy she switched to this Alexander McQueen flamenco inspired dress!
BEST TREND
Not so classic black dresses
As we are moving to slightly more positive critics, I have to acknowledge the beauty of these dresses! Black is usually my least favourite colour on the red carpet, but I must say that Mindy (Salvador Perez), Karlie (Atelier Versace) and Kate (Roland Mouret) all look stunning!
BEST DRESSED
1- Diane Kruger in Donna Karan Atelier
Diane Kruger does it again! I am totally in love with this Donna Karan Atelier ultra chic asymmetrical jumpsuit that I wish I could have in my wardrobe! Just PERFECT!
2- Poppy Delevingne in Emilio Pucci
Love the print, love the silhouette, love the makeup… and SO love that choker!
3- Hailee Steinfeld in Andrew GN
At 18 years old, Hailee Steinfeld really impresses me with her daring fashion choices. This mix of pattern and texture is not easy to wear, but she pulls it off with so much poise! And can I say how beautiful the makeup is…
4- Rosie Huntington Whiteley in Alexandre Vauthier
I already liked the idea of deep green sequins (instead of classic black), but it’s when she turned around and I saw the back of the dress that my jaw dropped!
5- Chanel Iman in Zuhair Murad
After all the transparency disasters of the night, it’s nice to see such a pretty sheer dress!
And a special mention to… Sia
Just because I love her style and music so much (and I want those shoes)!
