85th Academy Awards


Finally the Oscars! I would not have missed the red Capet on TV for anything. OK, I did miss the first hour of live coverage... but not many around me can relate when I say I must stay home for the Oscars. It is our "Superbowl" of celebrities' fashion, isn't it? Thanks to my DVR I did not miss a thing and discreet checks on my phone kept me updated.

As usual, I like to wait a day or two after a fashion event and would only share with you what remained of my first and lasting impression that has not been altered by the multitude of fashion critics. I apply the same principle to style. When in doubt or if you don' t like it, put it aside and forget about it. It's as if this probable mistake never happened...

So, what did I like?

Old Hollywood Glamour

Jessica Chastain was the embodiment of old Hollywood. She also kept it modern by not wearing much jewelry to distract from this Armani Privé column.The color and style of her hair combined with her rich red lipstick provided the perfect balance to this  gown. The color of this gown is so close to her complexion and so fitted that she could almost disappear if it was not for that amazing glitter defining her body.

Jennifer Lawrence looked so graceful ( even when she fell taking the stage to accept her Oscar).

She wore a light pink Christian Dior Haute Couture gown. The volume of this gown starts perfectly below her hips so the massive fabric does not swallow her nor hide her great figure.The Chopard jewelry was a beautiful delicate touch. The necklace hanging back added an interesting edge.


Modern Glamour

Zoe Saldana wore an Alexis Mabille Gown. I am in love with this dress! The embroidery is gorgeous and the contrast with this modern belt works. I might have chosen a lighter color for her shoes and opted for less rings on her hands.  Her simple hair style adds softness to the entire look.

Let's save the best for last! Charlize Theron was a vision in Christian Dior Haute Couture. The buzz hair cut is an extension of the structured bodice of her gown which ends in a simple train. The make up is perfectly soft to balance the statuesque and empowering look. This was in my opinion the best gown of the Oscars.
