Dress-up Disappointment

Dress-up Disappointment

I am thoroughly under-impressed by the dresses warn at the 81st Annual Academy Awards. Yes, there were some hits, but there were definitely more misses for me.

The Oscars are about glitz and glam, and those elements were missing. People either played it too safe and boring or were too futuristic in their get-ups. I will, however, let you in on my favorites.

1) Nicole Kidman. Wow! In my book, Nicole Kidman reigns supreme when it comes to formal fashion. She ALWAYS gets it right, and this time, she knocked it out of the park. Not only is she beautiful, but her gown choices are always unique, and she never compromises on class. A+ as always.

2) Halle Barry. Simply gorgeous. I like to see something different, and that's what this is. Sometimes different can be simply unusual, but this number is lovely on her. Well done, Halle.

3) Anne Hathaway (carpet dress). She changed for the opening act, but I loved this number she sported before the show. She is always a class act, giving a nod to old Hollywood glamour.

4) Sarah Jessica Parker. Some critics were not thrilled about the Glinda look, but I loved it. It's fun, daring, and flattering on her figure. I like that she went big, because few people do these days. It was a risk, but she pulled it off.

Well, that's about it. Those are my leading ladies. There were some others who looked decent. Decent. I was THRILLED about Kate Winslet getting the gold, though. She is magnificent.

Cheers.
