Let's talk about Oscar fashion! I've already said that I loved Sandra Bullock's dress:
 |
| Sandra Bullock in Marchesa The silver lace over the silver skirt is divine. |
Sandra Bullock wasn't the only one wearing neutral colours, however. In fact, shades of neutral was the most popular dress colour. There were whites, ivories, silvers, and pale pinks and peaches. There's nothing wrong with that, but at first glance some of these ladies looked sort of naked.
 |
| Anna Kendrick in Elie Saab What a pretty, ethereal dress. |
 |
| Demi Moore in Atelier Versace |
 |
| Queen Latifah in Badgley Mischka I love the asymmetry in this dress; the asymmetrical waist and shoulder strap make it really interesting. |
 |
| Sarah Jessica Parker in Chanel There's something about her eye makeup that I really don't like - someone should tell her that black-ringed eyes look small. And I expected her hair to be smoothed (shellacked?) to her head. When she went on stage, it looked like she had a halo because of her flyaway hair. |
 |
| Julianne Moore in Calvin Klein |
 |
| Diane Kruger in Chanel The middle part makes this dress look strange... it cuts the body in thirds and adds weight to the hip. Weird. |
 |
| Miley Cyrus in Jenny Packham It kind of looks like the top is too short for her, or else her boobs are trying to wrestle themselves free. Either way, this dress would have looked better with a different top. And she'd look better if she stood up straight. |
 |
| Cameron Diaz in Oscar de la Renta She towered over everyone, like a model. |
 |
| Deborah Ann Moll in Nicole Miller This dress wasn't terribly flattering. The skirt is too lightweight for the heavy top, and the top doesn't really do anything for her figure. Plus it's a weird colour that doesn't really flatter her. |
 |
| Kate Winslet in Yves Saint Laurent This dress is very unflattering because it makes her stomach look chubby. Plus the top and bottom colours don't really match. This just doesn't work. |
 |
| Amanda Seyfried in Armani Prive This fabric is used in two dresses, and I like this dress more. |
 |
| Jennifer Lopez, also in Armani Prive This dress is less flattering than the other one. JLo doesn't need extra fabric stapled to her hip. |
Aside from neutrals and pastels, the most popular colour was blue in all its shades, from light to navy. This is a trend I love, because I love blue :)
 |
| Helen Mirren in Badgley Mischka I love love love this dress... I love the colour, I love the ethereal sleeves, I love the ethereal overlay, and I love the sparkles. Gorgeous! |
 |
| Elizabeth Banks in Atelier Versace I'm completely in love with this dress... it's so ethereal and structured at the same time. Plus I love the steel blue colour. |
 |
| Gabourey Sidibe in Marchesa What a beautiful dress! The colour, appliques, and fit make her look gorgeous. |
 | |||
| Mariah Carey in Valentino Even when she's dressed nicely she manages to look tacky. |
 |
| Molly Ringwald Great dress, but what's up with her hair? |
 |
| Kristen Stewart in Monique Lhullier What a gorgeous dress! Too bad she's too bored or whatever to smile, because a smile would have improved the dress. |
There weren't many red dresses, but the ones that were on the red carpet were striking.
 |
| Sigourney Weaver in Lanvin This dress is not at all flattering. It makes her look boxy and bigger than she is. |
 |
| Michelle Pfeiffer in Carolina Herrera She looks so beautiful here... the ruching and asymmetry are gorgeous. |
 |
| Penelope Cruz in Donna Karan More ruching, more asymmetry, and still gorgeous. |
Finally, we're left with the other colours. There were only a couple of black dresses, a few print dresses, and a few dresses in colours other than neutrals, blues, and reds.
 |
| Carey Mulligan in Prada Oh, where to start. The dress originally has a bubble hem, which would be better than the modified hem. It's the shoes that really break this outfit - they're so clunky and wrong. |
 |
| Tina Fey in Michael Kors I like this, although the black belt is too matte. |
 |
| Kathryn Bigelow in Yves Saint Laurent This dress is ok, but it doesn't seem to fit well over the stomach. It's also kind of a dull colour. |
 |
| Nicole Richie in Reem Acra I love this dress - it looks dressy but also comfy. And I love love love her eye makeup. |
 |
| A close-up of the makeup I love. |
 |
| Rachel MacAdams in Elie Saab |
 |
| Maggie Gyllenhaal in Dries Van Noten This is the second print dress.. I don't love it. It feels sort of beachy to me, not formal. |
 |
| Zoe Saldana in Givenchy The top is pure sparkle on tv , and I like the ombre ruffles. |
 |
| Vera Farmiga in Marchesa Great colour, and I love love love the ruffles! This dress was unlike all the others. |

I don't watch the Oscars so I was counting on you to give us a look at the dresses, so thank you :) I loved the floaty fabric in some of them and I agree, Sandra Bullock's dress is the best. I want her figure too :)
I love your comments and the fact that you included the name of the designers. I think that if Laney Chan (blech!) can become a entertainment reporter because of her blogs to her friend then you should be recruited by Jeanne Beker to work on Fashion TV.
i like rachel mcadams' dress the best - the flowing fabric, romantic cut and muted tones really appeal to me.
love,

My favourite is Rachel MacAdams's dress. That watercolour-y fabric and the classic style are gorgeous.
