Oscars 2012: Best Dressed



I am officially proposing a canoodling buddy cop film starring Meryl and Jean.


Ok so my predictions were off. Way off. Rihanna ended up wearing my Rooney dress at some British thing (and ok, fine, she rocked it whatever I'm bitter.), and her bffl Katy Perry wore one of my Michelle Williams' to the Grammys (Michelle would have done it better). I was, however, on the right track. At least three people wore Elie Saab (to varying degrees of success), Roons ended up in Givenchy, someone from The Help wore Giambattista Valli, Glenn Close attended, and Viola Davis did wear a gorgeous color gown.



Roons in a structural Givenchy gown. Though she looks stunning here in minimal makeup and jewelry, there's something about her that always makes me want to throw a blanket over her and hand her a hot toddy.



Milla Jovovich looked white hot and old hollywood in the best Elie Saab dress of the night, just edging out Berenice Bejo and Kate Mara.


Gwyneth Paltrow in a mother f'ing Tom Ford cape (oh yeah and a dress, too). Seriously, who wears a cape? And looks fantastic in it!?



Winner Octavia Spencer in glittering Tadashi Shoji. The loveliness of this dress does not translate so well in photographs, but on TV it was stunning. She glowed.



Winner Meryl F. Streep in statuesque Lanvin. Ok so it's no bright orange getup, but she was thinking gold and got gold. Smart lady.



Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace. I love the dress, love the look, but a high slit is no reason to stand like a skanky trucker, ladies.



Some people were hating on this magenta Giambattista Valli dress that Emma Stone wore. I love it. And I don't feel like I have to validate myself. The dress came in second only to her incredible presenting skills.




Similarly, people seemed to be split on Michelle Williams' coral Louis Vuitton look. I love the color, I am the biggest fan of peplums, and the, well, I hesitate to call them "ruffles" on the bottom actually don't bother me!



Peplums! Tina Fey! Carolina Herrera! Need I say more? (the answer is no.)


Who were your favorites?
