Stylewatch: Oscars 2007

Hey fashion lovers! Lauren Paige here, ready to dish on all the best highlights from movie’s biggest night, the Oscars.

Love them or hate them, the stars were out in full force this past Sunday, vamping it up for the cameras, as they came together to celebrate their crowning achievements in the prestigious world of film. With shadow dancers, incredible musical performances and funnywoman Ellen DeGeneres as host, this year’s Oscar’s was a show to remember. However, the real show was on the red carpet where Hollywood’s A- list strutted their stuff adorned in custom-made couture, perfectly coiffed hair and millions of dollars worth of jaw-dropping bling. While some celebs epitomized the true meaning of glamour, others garnered a raised eyebrow or two as we were left wondering, ‘What in the world were they thinking?’

So, who wore what, who wore it best, and who just looked like a big, scary mess? Sit back and relax as Bonnie-Love and I count down some of our faves, some of the worst, and some we were just plain undecided on.


Best Dressed

Penelope Cruz- The Best Actress Nominee for Volver was all about high-end glamour from the top of her braided bun to the bottom of her streaming feathered Atelier Versace gown.

Cate Blanchett- The Best Supporting Actress nominee dazzled in her form-flattering metallic Georgio Armani Prive gown and Lorraine Schwartz diamonds.

Emily Blunt- The Devil Wears Prada actress proved she knows what fashion is all about in her midnight blue Calvin Klein dress and H. Stern jewels.


Worst Dressed

Kirsten Dunst-Obviously Kirsten couldn’t decide which look she wanted to convey at the Oscars. Fortunately for her, Chanel pieced together five dresses in one to suit her indecisive mood.

Anne Hathaway- While Anne Hathaway may be trying to shy away from her good girl image, the massive bow on the front of her Valentino dress says otherwise. Maybe she should have worn Prada?

Jennifer Hudson- This dream girl looked more like a nightmare in her alien-inspired cropped python jacket and chocolate Oscar de la Renta gown.






Undecided

Cameron Diaz- Bonnie-Love thinks the Oscar presenter’s white satin Valentino gown was fashionable and sophisticated, but those ridiculous flaps kind of reminded me of a sailboat lost at sea. You be the judge. Smooth sailing? Or shipwreck?

J. Lo- I thought the presenter embodied a Greek goddess in her crystal-covered silk Marchesa gown, Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings, and soft curls. While the top half of the dress was stunning, Bonnie-Love thought that the bottom was way too frumpy. You decide. Aphrodite? Or gorgeous grandma?

Gwyneth Paltrow- Bonnie Love was in love with the style maven’s tulle-and-chiffon Zac Posen dress. It was both stylish and modern. Yeah. It was modern all right… Just perfect for Spring 2057. You make the call. Trendy fashionista? Or future chic?

Leave out any of your faves? Tell us who earned your vote for best or worst dressed.

Gwyneth was breathtaking in her Zac Posen dress. It was like a work of art but the fact that it was a solid color with no embellishments allowed it to daring instead of scary. As for J.Lo, why does Marc Anthony keep making her wear those mammy-maid frocks. A jeweled neckline sewn to a bolt of fabric does not an Oscar dress make. I saved the worst for last. J.Hudson must be the new crash test dummy for Champion Sportswear's half-cocked try at couture. I guess she needed somewhere to hide her Oscar from Beyonce but...what is up with those pockets and her mulling around with her hands in them all night. She looked like she was wearing her boyfriend's sweatpants during that time of the month. And the jacket, well she needs to throw THAT in the Hudson and watch float away. I'm pretty sure that Kirsten Dunst can fish it out and add it to the beads ,feathers ect. that are already taped to her dress.
