Let's face it--sometimes the most interesting part of the Acadamy Awards telecast is the Red Carpet Show before the ceremony. Not to mention the office discussions the next day.
This is my 1st annual countdown to Best Dressed. And some Honorary Mentions. Feel free to leave your comments!
10. Helen Mirren in Vivienne Westwood
Always gorgeous and classy! She rocks Vivienne Westwood--and embraces her age.
9. Hailee Steinfeld in Machesa
So age appropriate--well, until you get to her shoes.
8. Scarlett Johanson in Dolce & Gabbana
For some reason people are stuck on the "don't wear red on the red carpet" rule. Forget the rules! She looks gorgeous in this color and this dress. And thousands of hair stylists are going to be getting requests for the "Scarlett".
7. Nicole Kidman in Dior Haute Couture
Another one that was universaly panned. The detail is flawless, though! As is her gorgeous skin and hair color. I also just love the orange shoes. She takes risks and can always pull it off. I will say, however, that I truly hope that John Galliano for Dior really didn't say those awful things.
6. Halle Berry in Marchesa
Halle can wear a paper bag and still make it on my list. But I love how she looks like she's floating down the red carpet.
5. Gwyneth Paltrow in Calvin Klein Collection
This dress was just perfect with her frame and her hair and her subtle tan.
4. Natalie Portman in Rodarte
Glowing Natalie. Whether it was her baby bump, gorgeous new husband, or the fact that she was odds-on favorite she radiated a special kind of beauty. I was so happy she wore Rodarte--who designed the ballet costumes and weren't even nominated for Best Costume Design.
3. Mila Kunis in Elie Saab Couture
These next 3 I had a hard time deciding which order...this is such a beautiful, detailed dress on an incredibly beautiful, totally cool chick.
2. Mandy Moore in Monique Lhuillier
I absolutely LOVED this dress--the invisible netting went up to her neck, enabling the subtle beading details to go across her arms without any seams. It's like an ice-skaters dress. And she looked beautiful and all growed up!
But the Winner is:
1. Cate Blanchett in Givenchy Haute Couture
This dress is "Beyond a Dress" as one tv announcer said. It is art. It is daring. I wish this were a better picture that showed the beautiful lilac color--not to mention the back detail. I love Cate for taking risks and showing what Fashion has to offer.
Now for some fun.
