My Favorite Academy Awards Red Carpet Looks
The 81st Annual Academy Awards Red Carpet was full of bedazzling gowns and gorgeous women. I have to say that for this year, there weren’t really that many looks that made me cringe.. There were a whole lot of strapless gowns and really light colors. Ivory, nude, whites and “barely mint” with the latter coming from Sarah Jessica Parker. Assymetrical gowns were also quite popular.
Overall, the women did pretty good I have to say. Although there were a couple of looks that I didn’t quite fancy - like Heidi Klum in Roland Mouret, Vanessa Hudgens in Marchesa and Amanda Seyfried in Valentino. But they weren’t like over the top horrible, either.
I loved Miley Cyrus’s dress by Zuhair Murad which was really gorgeous.. but not on her. It was too… sophisticated for a 16 year old, for me.
The two women who really stood out in black, I feel was the stunning Angelina Jolie in Elie Saab and Diane Lane in Dolce & Gabbana. Black can be a little boring and safe at times, but these ladies just pulled it off looking classic and just sensational. Just look at Angelina’s jade earrings by Lorraine Schwartz! They just pop out! Absolutely gorgeous!
Then there was the exceptional Penelope Cruz who looked like a beautiful couture princess in vintage Pierre Balmain. Oooohhhh.. that was definitely her night to shine.
My favorites of the night was the beautiful and regal Natalie Portman in her Rodarte bubble gum pink dress and Anne Hathaway in Armani Prive.
Hey, and last but not least, the adorable children from Slumdog Millionaire!! They were utterly adorable!!

Hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did!
Love,
