As promised, I'm back again. It's
Oscar week and we have to take advantage of it!
By now, we already know who the winners are. But, do we know who the best and worst dressed were? Well, you would probably say YES to this, but you are actually wrong. Only soVIPzone knows how to go beyond glamour and glitter and provide you with the real DEAL on the Oscar fashions. So HERE we go!
You probably know her for being a beautiful but creepy she-elf, but this pale skin blondie is this year's winner for best dressed. Having the ability of going beyond pure glamour it's a difficul task to accomplish, but it is a piece of cake for
Cate Blanchett, who always looks stunning. What a wonderful surprise it was finding out that she was wearing —God's design—
Armani Privé. A straight full-lenght grey and black gown with an odd and yet exotic resemblance to middle-age mailles, covered with a gauze layer and delightfully culminated with
Swarovski crystals and onyx both down at the bottom and in the top strap over the shoulder. This great piece serves both as gown and jewlery, but Cate decided to add earrings and a bracelet —also from Armani— matching the colors of the dress. She was the real QUEEN of the night.
Despite the perfection of the former elf's look, there were two more LADIES who made it to the TOP 3 this year.
First we have
Jennifer Lopez. It's been a while since I last saw her looking genuinely classy. She either goes over the top trying to look very rich —which by the way it's a fact— or tries to look "down-to-earth" in a way that is far from successful. Bottomline, she ends up looking tacky. However, she must have had a revelation concerning this year's gown for these awards.
Marchesa signed the greek goddess dress she wore. Greek goddess indeed; the cut and the fit are a thing of big perfection and the rows of diamonds on the neck and below the chest clear JLo of wearing any sort of jewels except earrings (by
Lorraine Schwartz). In addition, the fact that she had a hair cut —thank God!— softens her whole look and makes her more of a goddess. The make-up was peRRfect and the color of the dress.., oh the color, very faded pale violet, almost white, is superb. I could only find a huuuge mistake on "la diva latina": accesories. The purse was great; I'm talking about Marc Anthony, she should have left him home having a steak with fries, he's looking skinnier every day.
I don't get why some people have critisized
Cameron Diaz, her hair and her "wrong choice" for the dress. She is actually the third on my list of best dressed. As the smart —and gorgeous— girl that she is, she went for a gown that enhanced her tanned skin (due to daily surfing with new bf
Kelly Slater) and that is synonymus with white. Where better to find the perfect white dress than
Valentino who has devoted his whole Spring/Summer collection to white? It is hard to find a white dress that looks different from everything that's been done before, but this one is one of a kind. The train gives it the final touch, and I particularly love the two-part down-folded neckline; it's sort of a beachy wedding dress. I LOVE that Cameron went for emeralds on the earrings, they helped bringing out those deep seas that are her eyes and that drive us nuts. I'm sorry for the "blond-Cameron team" but I honestly think that she looks much better as a brunette; the hair, by the way, was exactly how it looked best: carrying on with that beachy vibe she was going on from the beginning. The rest of the accesories consisted of more diamonds —the other protagonists of the night— and the silver peep-toe sandals and purse. In the night of the Hollywood firmament Cam shined like the star she is.
* And now, for the big SCREW-UPS of the night...
It is a fact that pressure affects us while flying on a plane. This must be the effect that John Travolta's favourie hobby has had on his wife,
Kelly Preston. After doing a lot of thinking this is the only possible explanation that I've come up with. It would be complete non-sense to wear THAT in a state of sanity. But thankfully —or sadly, I don't really know— she is not alone: "i signori" Domenico and Steffano (
Dolce & Gabbana) have gone insane too. Their last collection is based on LEOPARD prints! Oh yeah, I'm freaking out like you guys! I never thought such a disaster could happen, but nowhere in my darkest thoughts it would have occured to me that a HUMAN person would actually wear any of that STUFF —they don't even have original designs. But, well, there're all kinds of people in this world, so there you go with Mrs. Travolta —grease lightning, oh grease lightning!
When did
Oscar de la Renta start making "gowns-à-porter" for Wal-Mart? I wish I had known about that beforehand; so I wouldn't have been surprised when I first saw
Jennifer Hudson's dress —or whatever that is. Is that piece of silver cardboard supposed to be a bolero jacket?!! I don't know, she just looks like the silver version of a
Ferrero Rocher. And those hobbit feet coming out of the dark?
Yuk! And have you noticed that there are pockets?! I wonder what they are doing there... Anyways, this american idol is not what
girlZ dream about anymore. Period.
Even geniuses make mistakes. This is the case of
Valentino and fashion
Kaiser Karl Lagerfeld (for
Chanel). And
Anne Hathaway and
Kirsten Dunst (respectively) have been their victims —they could have shown some taste, though. Miranda's fictitious girl, Anne Hathaway, looks like a rockstar who just got out of rehab and didn't have the time to think it over. That bow is a TRAGEDY in capital letters. You add white to that skin and you have the perfect sick look. Let's not talk about all that "scrap" she had on, shall we? My condolences to the designer.
Wow! Really, I don't know what more to say. The pics speak for themselves. "Enjoy" them.
My beloved Dunst... she screwed up big time! I read that she didn't feel comfortable in it, but it's understandable not to think about being wrong with your choice when you are wearing Chanel. Please, take a look at the picture: is there anyone who actually thinks that a shirt-like neck and TONS of feathers and sequins over a see-thru fabric look OK?!?! Everything else was a fatal error too: that ring, the bracelet, make-up, hair... I can't talk any more s**t of Kirsten, I love her too much. See and judge for yourselves.
Last is
Jessica Biel. First off, I don't know what the hell she was doing at the Oscars, she is more like Kid's Choice Awards. Second, who was the fool that let her in? Come on! Look at her! Her "chest" is all over the place and you can see her torches on thru the "gown". And third, what is that dressed made of? Fuchsia crepe paper? Oh and the black
wannabe-suede belt from the nearest thrift store is so pretty! God, my sister playing to be a celeb with her sarong on looks better than that! This is for you, Jess: get a job, make some money and, PLEASE, don't try again next year!
Hope you enjoyed the special on the EVENT of the year —unless there's a Brit come-back anytime soon. I'm off.
