Red Carpet Fashion: Best Dressed at the 2010 Oscars

Hollywood’s biggest night and one of fashion’s biggest nights as well…the Oscars / the Academy Awards (whichever you prefer).  There were some fashion don’ts (see Charlize Theron in Dior) but mostly there were a lot of people who looked good but didn’t blow me away. In order to make any of my best dressed lists, you must blow me away…otherwise you’re just “okay dressed” not “BEST dressed.”

I also apologize for this being almost a week late…I was on vacation so you must forgive me 🙂

Here are my best dressed picks for the 2010 Oscars:

Demi Moore in Atelier Versace

She got it all right. The dress is beautiful and fits her perfectly. This blush color is very in for Spring and I love love love it! The jewelry complements the dress perfectly as well as the handbag and shoes. Her hair is loose and flowy like the dress and overall she looks absolutely stunning. And of course…this is all due to the amazing work of her stylist, Rachel Zoe.

Who doesn’t love some Oscar at the Oscars? Let’s be honest…Cameron could wear a potato sac (see Project Runway challenge) and still look amazing. This dress without Cameron is breathtaking…then put her in it and you have perfection! Her hair is very Old-Hollywood Glam and I love the look topped off with the red nails and red lipstick. Yet another great job by her stylist…Rachel Zoe.

Sandra Bullock in Marchesa

First of all, I would never imagine Sandra Bullock in a Marchesa gown. Marchesa usually goes for very architectural, modern looks and that doesn’t seem to be Sandra’s style. However, this gown fits her body PERFECTLY and she looks STUNNING. The hair totally complements the dress…good idea to wear it down and swept to the side for that Old-Hollywood look. Then top it off with some pinkish-red lips…and you have yourself BEST DRESSED OF THE NIGHT. What a year for Sandra! I’m so happy for her and all of her accomplishments….both fashion and movie related 🙂

PS. Doesn’t her dress remind you of Olivia Wilde in Marchesa at the Emmys?

I saved this for last because this was a very controversial dress. A lot of people hated it but I loved it. It’s very different and I can see where people are coming from BUT I think Zoe can pull it off. I don’t think I would like this gown on anyone else but I thought she looked so beautiful in it. As Jay Manuel said on the Fashion Police, the top is Armani Prive, the middle is Marchesa and the bottom is Oscar De La Renta…as I can see where he’s coming from…I don’t care because I thought she pulled off this look beautifully. Hey, at least she took a risk AND at least she didn’t wear blue. So sick of the Avatar “blue” tribute. Aren’t you?

A tribute to those who almost got it right:

I absolutely LOVED the Armani Prive gown JLo wore…but I didn’t love it on her (loved it on the runway though!) which is why she did not make my best dressed list.

I thought Sarah Jessica Parker looked beautiful. I love [almost] all of the dress…but that backwards halter part of her Chanel Haute Couture gown completely ruined the look. As a strapless gown, it would have been perfect.

Rachel McAdams looked [almost] stunning in her watercolor Elie Saab Haute Couture gown…but the wrapping at the bodice was just a tad short…if it was a few inches longer, it would elongate her torso and she would have looked PERFECT…and she would have definitely made my best dressed list.

So, who were your best dressed picks? Worst dressed? If you don’t agree with mine…that’s okay because I want to hear what you think!
