Yea,Yea, Yea.
You're all rolling your eyes, I know.
"So trendy, right?"
But it's whatevs.
There is something so romantic and perfect about the Academy Awards.
The regal manner, the beautiful dresses, and the elegance of it all. I remember watching it every year growing up and being in constant awe. Maybe its my brain type or whatever (Allie), but I dreamed of actually being there. Yes, as a ten year old.
I have been a slacker and I have only seen one of the nominees for best motion picture. (Hey, I'm a poor college student). Don't you fret though, I will be seeing them all asap. Even The Artist. Because it's trendy. And I'm a follower.
Besides the obsession with movies and music and acting and everything that entails the Oscars, it's the red carpet that makes me feel like a five year old watching princesses.
So without further ado, I present my favorite dresses:
Maybe it's just because I love Tina Fey. But I love when a funny woman looks beautiful. It's like a double whammy. Love the black and the skirt along with it. |
Only Gwyneth can pull this off. But I love the white and simplicity of it. |
To be honest, I'm still on the fence on this one. But, she's beautiful. So that's fun. And she came with George Clooney. So she automatically wins. |
Color color color. |
Natalie Portman and polka dots? Okay, yes. Don't know how I feel about the necklace with that particular dress, though. I feel like pearls would have been better? |
I just like this. I don't know why. |
Just, yes. |
Besides the fact that she is my age and looks 12, I like the dress. Especially, the color. |
All of this. Even the bow. (Subtracting the fact that she kind of looks like a present). |
Perfect for her shape. Classy, elegant, and modest. |
I just like this because I could never pull it off, but I wish I could. |
P.S. Every time I saw Brad Pitt I peed a little bit. I don't care if he has long, greasy hair and is 45 (?) years old, he is still a beautiful human being. It's the smirk he does when he's focused. Oh, and even though I hated J.Lo's dress, I have come to the conclusion that she is, in fact, on my top ten list too. Just FYI. She's gorgeous.
I can't even talk about Meryl Streep and Octavia Spencer. Their acceptance speeches made me cry. I feel like they were both very deserving of their awards.
I'm such a dork, I know. So emotional blah blah blah.
Whatever. One day I'll be at the Academy Awards.
And then you can all judge me on my dress. And I won't care.
Oh, and did anyone else think that so many of the one liners were hilarious?
"This better not go too late. I have 6 parent teacher conferences in the morning." Billy Crystal to Brad Pitt.
Or how about when the Dictator threw his "ashes" on Ryan Seacrest and Ryan was p-issed. SO GREAT.
Or am I the only one with a good sense of humor? JW. (just wondering-- for all you people who did have AOL instant messenger as a child cough mom cough).
'Til next year.
xoxo.
love the oscars.

I missed the oscars so THANK YOU for the update! Also...email me about the header! I'd seriously love to design one! amandawalker90@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI agree about Tina Fey! Loved her dress and always love her! It's so cute that she's a funny girl but really pretty too!
ReplyDeleteTina Fey is overlooked too often in the beauty department, definitely! I also loved Emma Stone's dress.

LOVE all the dress, especially Octavia Spencer. lovelovelove
ReplyDeleteit's our superbowl!! i loveeeee oscar fashions and the red carpet drama. love.
ReplyDeleteIn all honesty... the Oscars were rather "blah" this year. They are always a little bit too "silly" to begin with but this year I really thought they were... boring. Didn't like Billy Crystal as the host and I wasn't rooting for most of the winners (why didn't The Help win more!?). Still... I was really glad for Meryl and Octavia - so deserving in the latter's performance and I've no doubt Meryl was wonderful in The Iron Lady. Oh! I did love Colin's shout-out to Meryl in his speech (how cute was that!?).
ReplyDeleteAnyway... at least we got to see some pretty fashion. =D
i think it's fun to check out what people wear at the oscars and other such events, but usually i just see the roundups on blogs haha! thanks for the recap! xoxo www.rubygirlblog.com
