THE OSCARS 2010: "AND THE WINNER IS ... MY FROCK DESIGNER!"


My dear readers, forget the movies! The Oscars are now considered to be all about the frocks and froth!

Do you think this is a fair judgement? Is it simply the studios’ 21st century way of marketing their product and the stars of marketing, er, themselves? Stars assisted by facialists, beauticians, fashion stylists, hair stylists, footwear stylists, you-name-it-stylists!

Whatever your view, dear readers, stay with me cos, following Friday’s post showing some of the worst Oscar outfits, I offer today those generally considered by fashionistas to be, over the years, the very best!
Do you agree? Do they suit the individual wearing them? Or was the star badly advised by her stylist? Does the dress end up wearing its owner? Oh, I almost forgot - what are your thoughts about the movies?

Mike said...

They're full of froth! And less to do with the films every year! Just a way for the studios to promote their goods.

Berlin said...

Now then, bout the dresses:
1) Acceptable.
3) Simple, elegant and stunning!
4) Again, simple and elegant.
6) Yuck ><
7) Doesn't need that ugly shoulder strap.
8) Fishy in a good way =D
9) This is the best of them all!

You can't beat old fashioned hollywood glam - any deviation for the red carpet isn't going to work. I can't wait to see what turns up on the red carpet.

I love watching the Oscars for the fashion - both best and worst, either way it's compulsive viewing, frothy or not. xx

i wasn't thrilled by the dresses this year - most were too pale (nude) or just plain boring!!! i'd rather they take a chance!

i did love the red dress on vera someone or other (she was in Up in the Air with Clooney) :D

I am not pleased with JLo's decision. Honestly, as beautiful as she is, the dress is terrible and ought to used as, well, something other than a dress.
I am most pleased with the last dress on the opera singer, but this is mostly because I think I would look knock out gorgeous in it (who wouldn't?).

As for the rest, love love love.
