Oscars 2016: Worst Dressed

28 February, 2016 Nelia

The-Oscars-2016-Worst-Dressed-Brie-Larson-Gucci
Brie Larson is widely considered a favourite to win the Best Actress Oscar…but her choice of a gown is leaving me completely baffled. If you’d told me that this dress is from the Mother of the Bride section of Laura Petites store, I would believe you. It’ just so bad! From the ruffles, to the colour, to that bridal sash…it’s SO BAD! I am certain that Brie had access to the best of the best, and this is what she ended up choosing. It’s baffling to me.

The-Oscars-2016-Worst-dressed-Jennifer-Lawrence
JLaw is another Oscar-fave. She is nominated again this year, and she showed up wearing this. What the hell is this dress??? It’s Dior Hate (typo and it stays) Couture, but it doesn’t make it good. It’s kinda awful actually. Paired with that makeup and hair, her entire look shouts middle-aged. Where’s that fresh-faced ingenue? Where’s the excitement? I think it’s time to find a new stylist!

Oscars 2014: The Best, The Worst, and The Meh

2 March, 2014 Nelia

Lupita-Nyongo-2014-Oscars-blue-dress-headband

The Best

So it’s only 7pm on Oscars night, and it might be a bit presumptuous of me, but I am declaring the radiant Lupita Nyong’o my best-dressed of the evening in her stunning custom-made blue Prada gown and Fred Leighton jewels. Watching her on the red carpet made me fall in love with her all over again. It was so refreshing to see someone so well-adjusted, eloquent, humble, funny, and gorgeous on the red carpet. I could watch her for HOURS.

Cate-Blanchett-2014-Oscars-armani-prive-chopard

Cate Blanchett in a stunning beaded Armani Prive gown looked ethereal and every bit like the winner that she is. She always carries herself with so much confidence and class. And of course, she truly is one of the most stylish women out there, so even though I was a bit sad not to see her in something more adventurous, I think this gown was still a perfect choice for a Best Actress nominee (and winner?).

Naomi-Watts-2014-Oscars-Calvin-Klein-Bulgari

As much as I usually hate the safe black or white gowns on the red carpet, the stunning Bulgari necklace over this beaded Calvin Klein gown on Naomi Watts really elevated this look, and made me take notice. This is obviously nowhere near the amazingness that is Lupita Nyong’o’s Prada gown, but it definitely is one of my fave looks of the night.

Charlize-Theron-2014-Oscars

Same goes for Charlize Theron in a stunning black gown. Only Charlize can make a black exciting and interesting on the red carpet. That deep plunge, perfect necklace to accentuate it, and of course that exquisite face – just perfect. I still can’t believe that THIS woman is dating Sean Penn. WHY?!

Kate-Hudson-2014-Oscars-Versace

I was on the fence whether to add Kate Hudson in this Versace gown to my Best Dressed list, because there may be something off about that shiny fabric, but at the end of the day, that center knot, that cape, and that plunging neckline all sell it for me. She looks stunning and I love it.

The Worst and The Meh after the jump!

What They Wore: Celeb Looks from Met Gala 2013

7 May, 2013 Nelia

met-gala-2013-punk-katy-perry-dolce-gabbana

This year’s Met Gala theme was “PUNK: Chaos to Couture”, and since so many of the celebs in attendance nailed it, I couldn’t simply post my fave looks and be done with it. This time, I chose to bring you not only my fave looks, but also the runners-up, and the headscratchers all in one post.

Let’s start with my faves. I loved the ornate Dolce and Gabbana dress on Katy Perry, the grand headpiece on SJP, the elegant Margiela on Gwen Stefani, the stunning, but decidedly NOT punk Givenchy gown on Rooney Mara, and an orange moomoo-like goodness on Ashley Olsen. None of those looks screamed punk to me, but I found these dresses to be interesting, fashion-forward, and gorgeous too. Well, SJP’s panty-flashing Giles gown wasn’t exactly my type, but if anyone could’ve pulled it off it’s her.

Apart from my top 5, I enjoyed so many other looks! From Giovanna Battaglia gilded head-to-toe goodness, to Solange Knowles looking lovely in a Kenzo gown that was perhaps a tad too casual for the Met, but beautiful nonetheless, to Emma Watson in a very sexy Prabal Gurung…there was no shortage of fashion porn at this year’s gala. Some celebs decided to don simple LBDs to the event, which in my opinion was a total waste (I’m looking at you, Michelle Williams), but others made up for it with punk hair (Miley Cyrus), and studs galore (looking gorgeous, Sienna Miller!).

All in all, I loved this year’s fashion offerings. I hate wading through a million photos of boring outfits, and this year there weren’t too many.

So now it’s your turn! Which celebs brought their A-game to the 2013 Costume Institute Gala, and which crashed and burned? Share your opinions in the comments!

The Hunger Games Couture!

7 March, 2013 Nelia

katniss-effie-trinket-couture-capitol-portrait-hunger-games-catching-fire

I don’t know about you, but I love The Hunger Games! Read the books obsessively without being able to put them down, and have been waiting for the sequel for what feels like FOREVER! Well, today, I saw these amazing Capitol Couture portraits of Katniss, Effie, Johanna, and Caesar, all clad in very glam outfits, with Effie actually wearing an Alexander McQueen gown! Are we supposed to pretend that Cinna designed these? If so…great job, Cinna!

What do you think about these haute portraits of some of our fave characters? Are you getting excited for Catching Fire? Share in the comments.
