Feeling inspired by the New York Times‘s Red Carpet Project, I wanted to make my own curated red carpet list with what I think to be the greatest Oscars red carpet looks in the last 15 years. Granted anything pre-2006 was quite difficult to choose (it just wasn’t a good time for fashion) but I found a few timeless looks that would make sense to see on the red carpet today. Because I just can’t wait to get my judging on this weekend, I’m starting…NOW.
Nicole Kidman in Balenciaga, 2007
Between meetings and shows, yesterday was one of those days where I was in a different neighborhood every hour. It was fun, but when time is of the essence it’s also a little nerve-wrecking. Not going to lie, I was kind of proud I made it to everything I was supposed to…and on time. Snaps for me. Okay anyway, first show of the day was at Milk Studios…
I always look forward to awards season, but I was reminded last night how boring the SAGs are. Thankfully, a few celebs brought some real fashion to the red carpet (otherwise it was mostly strapless and sparkles…my favorite). But overall I’m thinking just about everyone needs a new stylist…or a stylist in general…or better taste.
So let’s get to it.
