There are few events in the entertainment industry where you go as formal as formal gets. Although surely the least comfortable of all genres of clothing, it’s a fun time to see what kind of outfits people put together. It’s the whole deal…hair, rented jewelry, designer shoes, bags, gowns, tuxes, cravats, etc. It’s a festival of pomposity. Since the whole system of the Oscars itself is a sham, I prefer to put my and your attention on the fashion aspect of it all. So here we go…
I’ll start with the “What on EARTH is that?” category.
Contestant #1:
Naomi Watts in a flesh-toned Givency gown made of…fiberglass insulation?
Contestant #2:
Sandra Bullock in Angel Sanchez.
Ok, i’m sorry, but what in god’s name is under that dress, a body condom? See that? Across her chest? It goes around the sides and back, too. Looks like loose grannyhose. Yes, yes, i KNOW it’s supposed to be like that. I just happen to think it’s awful, that’s all.
Enough of that, now for The Stylegoddess Winners Circle”
WINNER #1:
Charlize Theron in Christian Dior . Gorgeous dress, amazing shoes, perfectly accessorized, perfect color for her skin and hair.
WINNER #2:
Ludacris in Giorgio Armani. That was a bold move, and I’m impressed. In fact, he’s the only male contestant who I felt was worthy to be a contestant. So that means he’s the winner for the men. Although many men had nice suits/tuxes, none that i saw stood out as especially interesting or stylish. Except for this here Ludacris feller.
Runner-up #1:
Selma Hayek in Versace. Nice change from the creme and off-white gowns 1/2 the women were wearing, and the black all the men were wearing. Perfect color for her skin, hair and eyes.
Runner-up #2:
Uma Thurman in Versace.
I think Uma could wear a lasagna to the Oscars and look perfect. But that’s just me.
Runner-up #3:Amy Adams in Carolina Herrera.
This is clearly one of the most interesting and unique of the gowns to look at. the warm, rich chocolate brown is a lovely contrast against her skin. And the bustier is quite sexy.
Runner-up #4:
Jessica Alba in gold Versace halter gown. Gorgeous dress, stunningly yet modestly accessorized.
Now, as far as the dresses themselves…it was a toss-up between Jessica Alba, Charlize Theron and Amy Adams. But when you figure in the rest: accessories, hair, color choice for skin tone, etc. it’s easy.
Charlize Theron…best-dressed of all women at the 2006 Oscars. Hands down.
and Ludacris, best-dressed of all men at the 2006 Oscars.
Well done, you two. Now that THAT’s over, everyone can get back into their sweats. Night, night. x
Yay you! This rocks! Great job on getting it set-up! =D
thanks, hon. it’s been exciting, that’s for sure. my eyes are sore, but i’m getting smarter every day. can’t argue with that. x
Ok, that was very cool! I didn’t even watch the damn thing so it was nice to have the abbreviated fashion version. Because who gives a shit about the rest of it. It’s all about what everyone is wearing. 😉
I’ll be checking out your blog. I wish you were on Live Journal, so I could just have you on my friends page though. I guess it would be too hard to do everything you do in your blog on that site though. Well, thanks for the link!
yeah, LJ isn’t too good for professional blogging, although it does have a great community. you’ll just have to drag and drop my url into your browser so you can stop by with little to no effort every day. 😉 x
real cool. i did not watch the oscars yet. i was so behind on movies and finally saw “walk the line” LOVE IT!!! so now i know who i should look for when i watch it on tivo tonight.
l,sash
glad i could help. 😉
Ah, so right about Naomi Watts. If the talented, beautiful actress came up to me in that dress, I’d be all like “My dear, please consult a *reputable* stylist before continuing this conversation” 🙂
haha, suuuure you would.
This is me tagging like CHAKA! SYNTHIAN WAS HERE!
I don’t give a fuck about dresses, because… Christina Ricci in a burlap bag, is still, you know… Christina Ricci… and, plus, the conversation will be interesting cause you know she’ll have to tell you the burlap bag story… But I am quite proud of my stylegoddess for finally nailing her site up. -synthian
