Oscars 2008

Oscars was yesterday, and as usual I didn't catch it. Usually I just wait for the final list of winners and gorgeous red carpet pictures of the best and the worst dressed.

These are my personal picks and pricks.

Best dressed:

This year we see alot of classic Hollywood colours on the carpet - red, black, ivory. Good to mentioned, its a little classier and old school compared to the the Grammy's last week where green and blue were the favourite colours of stars.

Katherine Heigl

This has to be my favorite dress of the night. She always always manages to pull off the best red carpet looks with her glam Hollywood hair and physique. This outfit just screams sex siren of the 1950s. Flushed cheeks, red lips & vintage hair, she paired this with simple diamond earrings and a gold clutch. Classic!

Heidi Klum

This is couture. And what better person to pull it off a couture piece but a model herself. Very regal and yet classic. A look not everyone can pull off - very fine line between Hollywood diva and Ursula from the Little Mermaid. I love the pulled up pouffy hair, gorgeous neckline with a raised collar, almost like a cape, and very sexy mermaid tail.

Cam Diaz

This is my second fav look for the night, a simple classic Dior in dusty pink, accented by jewelries by Bulgari. I love the simple cut and design of the dress, a great example of Dior's creation. Just wished she would do up her hair a bit more. Makes it look a tad bit casual and unkept. But, perfect dress.

Keri Russell

One of the Hollywood's hottest moms around, Keri looks like the perfect picture of elegance and poise Her hair, and skin colour matches the colour of dress very well - a little bit more creme or white, the dress would look like a wedding gown. I love her necklace which is just perfect for her tube neckline

Marion Cotillard

Not only is she a winner (Best Actress for La Vie en Rose), her dress too was one. Very sexy, very ellegant cut, with interesting fish scale details. Her minimal accesories, long necklace and a simple clutch completes her look without making her look like one of the cast members from 'Little Mermaid'

Renee Zellweger

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the silver sequined dress with gorgeous cut and long train, matched with equally bling-up stillettos. I hate her emaciated-bones-portruding body, deer in the headlights eyes (a clear sign of starvation) and dishevelled hair. I can bet you Bridget would look a hundred times better in this dress.

Mrs Ben Affleck & Penelope

The two blacks I love for the night. Both sporting similar details - fur/feathers/ruffles - same neckline, long black clutches. I'd say Penelope's is more couture. I love her hair combed back this way.

Oh-God-fire-their-stylist-please!

Anne Hathaway


I love her in Devil Wears Prada and her pass runway looks, but this..hmm.. I love the length of the dress, and the colour of it on her skin. But I don't quite get the off shoulder neckline and floral applique. Would be much chic if she lost the floral applique.

Jennifer Hudson


She came a long long way from American Idol to win the Oscars last year. Too bad for her her dress was ugly last year (remmeber the silver shrunk cape?) and so was this years. Very brave of her to wear white (as we all know it puts on the pounds for average sized people), I love the length, but it's the top half which I don't get. Makes her boobs look weird and her arms a whole lot chunkier

Jessica Alba

Being pregnant doesnt mean you need to dress like a hag. (Think pregnant Nicole Richie & Gwen) This dress really does nothing but show her maternal side, which we all already know she is soon to be. What's with the milk maid hair and feathered chest?

i agree with the comment on anne hathaway, lovely girl, beautiful skin tone and lovely face but her choice of clothes leaves much to be desired! at least the colour suits her.

i like the look on katherine heigl but i dunno if i really like her!

i actually didn't see the keri russell dress on the websites! it does look very nice on her but perhaps a little understated compared to the reds on the red carpet :)
