Oscars 2010: Worst Dressed

8 March, 2010 Nelia

Every year, thousands of fashionistas keep their eyes glued to their TVs in order to see Hollywood’s crème de la crème attend the biggest party of the year. You have to admit, we all watch for the dresses (well, and maybe for the Best Actor/Actress and Best Film too). And as with any party or award show, there’s the good, the bad, and the ugly. And while I won’t call any of the actresses in this post ugly, what they are in my books, is worst dressed of the Oscars 2010. You can agree or disagree in the comments!

First off it’s Sigourney Weaver. I love her as an actress and love her sense of humour (did you see her on SNL?)! But this dress, it just doesn’t seem very flattering on Sigourney. The red is too harsh against her skin, and it blends in with the carpet. If her point was to camouflage herself, she did that well. Other than that, it’s not a winner.

Next up is Charlize Theron. She is undoubtedly a beautiful woman, and I really tried to like her dress. If used right, the rosettes could be very coquette and cheeky. But this poorly pressed dress, looks like a cross between the ill-fitted (and fated) pink Gwyneth Paltrow disaster and Sonia Rykiel for H&M rosette bra, and not in a good way. To be fair, I wonder if I would hate it as much if Diane Kruger was the one wearing it? 

I also tried to love Rachel McAdams’ dress. The Canadian actress has always been one of my favorite Hollywood girls, but this dress does not belong on the Academy Awards red carpet. The length, the pattern, the fit. No, no, and no.

And last, but not least – SJP. It pains me to say this, because just like thousands of other twenty-somethings, I love me some Carrie, but from head to toe, Sarah Jessica Parker’s look was a huge miss. What was up with her hair? Couldn’t someone *cough*Tom Ford*cough* wet their hands and pet her on the head? It was so embarrassing to watch her present with that frizzy halo, harsh makeup, and that not-so-flattering dress on. And next to Tom Ford, no less. I kept screaming at the TV, and hiding my face behind my hands in humiliation…for her.

What about you? Did you love any of the above? Any other dresses that you absolutely hated? Share in the comments!

Friday Faux Pas: Courtney Love’s Face

5 March, 2010 Nelia

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but in this case it is worth a thousand nightmares and just as many lost appetites (so sorry!). There is nothing like a photo of Courtney Love’s face (in case you couldn’t tell), to make you feel that everything in your life truly isn’t so bad. Go on, enjoy your Friday and know that things could be much, much worse.

Friday Faux Pas: Isabelle Mastache Fall 2010

27 February, 2010 Nelia

So by the looks of it, Madrid Fashion Week just gave birth to the second coming (or at least a wannabe) of Martin Margiela – Isabelle Mastache. Margiela has done the glove jackets, but I doubt he’s ever veered into the genitalia pants. Well, Isabelle actually went there. From the controversial pants, to some sort of a lumpy-one-eyed-bunny sweater, to the clam-face hat (?)…the collection is one not-so-hot mess. I get that the point was to have an avant-garde show, but penis pants, to me, just scream PR trick. Let’s see if those pop up on any of the celebs any time soon. Kanye West, a self-proclaimed fashion-lover, would be my nominee.

Friday Faux Pas: Standing Room

19 February, 2010 Nelia

So the latest “scandal” around the blogosphere is that Ashley Olsen did not get up to give Tommy Hilfiger a standing ovation at the end of his NYFW Fall 2010 show. She did get up eventually, but only after Penn Badgley’s prodding and pulling. So this week’s question is this: assuming that she really did not get up to clap for Hilfiger (as opposed to having a delayed reaction), is that a front row faux pas? Or is everyone entitled to sit and stand as they please?

Friday Faux Pas: Louis Vuitton Trash Bag Purse

5 February, 2010 Nelia

So, the ridiculous just keeps on giving this week. If you still haven’t gotten a gift for your loved one, this trash bag Louis Vuitton “Raindrop Besace” would make a perfect gift! And if you thought the Chanel “Easter Basket” purse was a tad overpriced, this one will only set you back a “measly” $1960.

Seriously, do designers just think that if they release anything as limited edition, people will be dumb enough to buy it? And come on…$1960 for a plastic bag? No, thanks. Which celeb will be the first to wear this? I say…Paris Hilton?

Friday Faux Pas: Tavi’s Bow

29 January, 2010 Nelia

To some, even the thought of a 13-year old in front row of a Dior couture show is already blasphemous. But to have to watch a show from second row through Tavi’s “pesky hat”, must’ve been mighty annoying. What are your thoughts on this? Is it wrong to wear an obstructive hat in front row, or is she entitled to wear whatever she feels is right?

Friday Faux Pas: Heidi Montag

22 January, 2010 Nelia

Did not want to contribute to the Heidi “Plastic” Montag media frenzy, but it’s a perfect Friday Faux Pas to close out the week. Is Heidi on her way to looking more and more like a 40-year old cougar, than a 23-year old young woman? If you ask me, I think it won’t take long till Montag looks like her almost-doppelganger Shauna Sands. The resemblance is already quite uncanny. Way to go, Heidi. Way to mess up your face, body, mind, and any shreds of dignity that you had left.

Friday Faux Pas: Snuggie Wannabes

15 January, 2010 Nelia

The unlikely success story of Snuggie seems to have encouraged an army of doppelgangers. Take this Snuggle Suit from JC Penney for example. It’s a robe, a blanket, and pjs all in one! And if you ever catch me wearing one of these, I give you permission to smack me! But if you think this was bad, feast your eyes on this wonderful Japanese creation! It’s a sleeping bag with pants! I repeat, a sleeping bag with pants!!!

Who buys this stuff?

The First Faux Pas of 2010

5 January, 2010 Nelia

Lunch hour browsing at the local Forever 21 had led to an amazing discovery! Further proof of The Hilton family’s “fountain of talent”. These tees were designed by Paris and Nicky, and wouldn’t you just pay thousands of dollars for each one? I mean, I am sure Van Gogh and Da Vinci would cry sweet tears of joy had they ever been able to witness one of these…works of art!

Couldn’t they ask people that actually matter to design these charity tees? Someone with actual talent? Instead, F21 people decided to shoot the charity in the leg. Who wants to be associated with Paris Hilton, or wear her toddler-doodled designs? Though the sad, sad thing is…someone somewhere will want to spend money on this crap, because good taste is dead. Happy 2010!

The Last Faux Pas of 2009

4 January, 2010 Nelia

2009 is officially over! But not before JLo could squeeze into the last faux pas of the year! Human hair jacket? Check. Sheer-ish crystal-adorned bodysuit? Check. Camel toe? Check. Making news all over the world for your god-awful NYE outfit? Priceless.
