OSCAR WINNING FROCKS

The Hollywood Glitterati were out in force on Sunday night and my good friend Ross King did a superb job as ever reporting the nights shenanigans back to us folk in the UK. There were no real shockers this year and Hollywood glamour was out in full force. Even though generally the girls played it safe this year I still think many still need a style lesson in colour that suit their skin tones and colouring and their body shapes. Know yourself a little better starlets.

IN STYLE
My three winners that stood out from the crowd.

Halle Berry

HALLE BERRY really knows what suits her. This plunging Versace dress played to all her strengths and the colour suited her skin tone. This dress would have been wrong on someone like Nicole Kidman for example. It was age appropriate, of course everyone in Hollywood is 23 !! Super stylish and glamorous. Limit the accessories when a dress is this showstopping it can cheapen the overall look.

JESSICA CHASTAIN was my second favourite. A chance was taken with this colour on her pale skin tone but it toned beautifully with her hair. The whole look was magical and surreal. This Armani Dress was so flattering as it was tailored to a millimetre of her body and exquisitely beaded which you cannot see in this photograph.This look would not have worked had she not been fitted correctly, she almost looks like an Oscar statuette. Flawless.

 JENNIFER HUDSON also I thought looked amazing with her new body AND her new hair. I know Jennifer likes to cover her arms and the current trend of lace overlay served her well. The colour choice popped on the red carpet there were very few dresses in this beautiful midnight blue colour. A sleek and stylish Cavalli one of my favourite designers. Way to go Jennifer.





RUN A MILE

ANNE HATHAWAY come on Anne you knew you were going to win but you chose this Prada Dress 3 hours before your big night ! and it shows. Sorry Prada but this neckline is outdated stiff and starchy. The dress looked as though it was made from cardboard. It did not flow or fit very well. The colour was too pale for her. Anne always looks good in bright colours I would have liked to see her in a showstopping red gown. Anne the key to style -organisation and planning and knowing yourself which I always think that is not there yet. But congratulations on the Oscar x
AMANDA SEYFRIED too looked washed out in this dress. I know this one has been applauded on the night but I think this makes her look too washed to in another deeper colour this would have looked amazing. A beautiful Valentino gown but colour so wrong for her. Funnily enough i have t on good authority this was similar to Anne Hathaways other choice of dress so that would make Anne a LOSE x LOSE.

Finally JENNIFER GARNER girlfriend your husband was the man of the night- must try harder ! This whole ensemble was dreadful. Even the necklace was so wrong for her like an old bit of twisted metal around her neck and all that frou frou on her backside . How on earth did she sit down ?? This whole look resembled a department store buy.Is Gucci doing Department store now ?? But Jennifer does not really do glamour well generally she tends to look awkward and uncomfortable her clothing personality tends to be more sporty and athletic it is when she looks her best. My worst look of the night. Sorry Jen !! x
