the red carpet

first of all

i am being featured today over on
thrifty decorating


if you get a chance
stop by to visit nikki's craftilicious blog


totally loved the style
that was pimped on the daddy of all ruddy carpets last night

here's whose looks i adored

my absolute favorite
gwyneth paltrow in calvin klein
now
if only she wouldn't have sung
i'd be a happy girl


anne hatheway in valentino
just the exact right color of red
perfect


amy adams in l'wren scott
love the dress
hate the jewelry


mandy moore in monique lhuillier

was anyone else wondering why she was there at all?
but i figured it out halfway through the duet


camila alves in kaufman franco (and her date)
this might just be my favorite neckline
of

all

time


michele williams in chanel
this dress clung and flowed in all the right places
and hello
it's chanel
chanel
her hair is gamine
it just all works


helena bonham carter in a gown by caroline atwood
who was the costume designer for 'alice in wonderland'

on the red carpet bonham said that she didn't dress to
represent fashion
but to represent costume designers
love that
adore the sunglasses too

do you realize she was in 3 different nominated films last night?


and then there were those whose duds disappointed

florence welch in valentino
which i would have liked if the bottom weren't so yellowed



cate blanchett in givenchy
ok
love givenchy
adore cate blanchett
but i truly loathe this gown
the color (lilac might just be my least of all time)
the circle cut-out bib
the structured arms
bleh



marisa tomei in vintage charles james couture

again
love tomei
and i admire the fact that she went vintage glam
but this dress doesn't fit her
and it's just

too

poufy


melissa leo (the fighter) in marc bowen
two words
gold doily


scarlett johansson in dolce & gabbana
this dress is all kinds of boring
the color is aging
the lace looks like a christmas tablecloth
she usually does so much better than this



nicole kidman in christian dior
too structured and stiff
heavy looking
hate the star burst on the bustier


that's my list folks

there were some others who looked pretty
but these were my high and lows of the night

agree?

disagree?

which one did you love or loathe?
