Osars 2012

in Giambattista Valli


9/10. Love the color and silhouette of this gown but I'm not a huge fan of the bow at the neckline. Love darker reds on very pale or very dark skin. Who said redheads can't wear red? Emma is beautiful as always.

in Gucci Premiere


6/10. I've never been a fan of nude dresses and the strapless shape makes Cam's arms look like she needs to lay off the 'roids. I like the fit on this dress and that it has a little visual interest.

in Zuhair Murad


8/10 I've always loved Jennifer's sparkly style. She definitely has the body for such lowcut dresses and I love the way the dress drapes as well as the tain. I'm not a huge fan of her hair but she made the right choice with wearing it up. Better earrings would also be killer.

in Vera Wang.


7/10. I love this color with her skintone. The neckine of the dress is great but I'm not a fan of the detail at the bottom. Looks like leather, wish it was. I also don't like the color of Viola's hair but love the texture and cut. I haven't seen the earrings up close but I'm loving them from afar.

in Lanvin.


9/10. I love, love, love this color on Meryl. I like the classy cleavage and the drape of the dress. It's sexy without being scandalous on a woman of a certain age. I adore the earrings and shoes as well. She looks like an Oscar herself.

in Atelier Versace


7.5/10. Love the goth vibe of this black velvet dress. I think it would look better on someone a little less thin and pale, she looks skeletal. I love the happy smile on her face for once though!

in Tom Ford.


10/10. Gwyneth looks amazing in Tom Ford. She rocks the white cap style dress and I am in love with that bracelet. She looks classy and regal and everything a red carpet starlet should look like. that's saying a lot because I'm not usually a fan of Gwyn's look at all.

in Tadashi Shoji


8/10. Love the sparkles, the fit, the design. It really works on her body shape and looks elegant.

in Roberto Cavalli


9/10. I love this shade of blue with Leslie's coloring. She looks absolutely amazing with the hip sash and strapless neckline. I love the strategically placed sequins and I really dig her earrings.

in Marchesa.


7/10. This dress may not look great in this picture but it's not soo bad. I love this color on Stacy and I think wearing her hair down on the opposite shoulder was perfect. I like the hip detail to make it stand out. Of course, George on her arm doesn't hurt either.

in Marchesa


4/10. I'm not a fan of this dress. It's pretty but illfitting and looks like two halves of a dress sewn together and embroidered. I think it would be pretty with some sparkles on a black top and the plain black bottom. Or maybe a silver top to match the silver stitching.

Vintage Christian Dior.


6/10. Let me just say I like the look Natalie was going for, a very vintage pin-up type look. The color works on her but the material looks cheap and dresses down the whole look. the only thing I would keep is the beautiful necklace.

in Armani.


7.5/10. This is classic Hollywood for sure from the color to the neckline and fit. This is the perfect blue for her and I love the way it looks. For some reason I'm just not feeling this entire look, it appears to be a costume instead of an original 2012 outfit.

in Carolina Herrara.


7/10. I like that Tina went for a dark blue instead of black and that makes all the difference in the world. I can't see her ever wearing a bright shade so this one works on her. Normally I wouldn't be a fan of the silhouette but it looks classy on someone Tina's age or older.

in Johanna Johnson


6/10. I almost like this. The color is okay but I wish it were a little more purple than plum. I love the rhinestone details and the cap sleeve but neither work on Maya's shape. It seems they only attract attention to her "flaws". She's a beautiful woman but I'm just not loving this dress on her.

Maria Lucia Hohan


10/10. I love this dress. There's nothing not to love. The color is spectacular and very unexpected, perfect for spring. The fit is amazing. I an amazed by Maria's body and the cutout back detail. If I looked like her I would wear this dress every day.

in Valentino.


9/10. I wasn't expecting much style-wise from Shailene. I mean have you seen The Secret Life of the American Teenager? Yeah, I'm addicted to it even though none of the actors can act. Anyway, I was expecting something a lot less chic from Shailene but she surprised me. She only loses points for the stitching down the front. It cheapens the look. Love the neckline and the studs.

4/10. Nah! In theory this dress would be great but it just doesn't work on her. She's a funny girl, I would like to see her in some color. Plus, the hair is just comical so why not wear it with something sexier or at least colorful or short. The chest area looks illfitting. Not a fan.

in Zac Posen.


9/10. I love this color, not just on Glenn but period. Gorgeous! This is how a woman her age should dress. It's not sexy but it's not matronly either. The dress is slimming and slightly revealing but the blazer covers it up without looking too matchy-matchy. Perfection.

in Marina Rinaldi


3/10. No! Melissa, Melissa, Melissa. Just because you're a "big girl" doesn't mean you have to dress like a fat girl. The only redeeming thing about this dress is the sparkly neckline and waist. The color is all wrong and it looks like she made it herself. She's so gorgeous, I'd like to see her in a more fitted shape and a prettier color.

6/10. Let's just ignore Virgina's scary face here. I lvoe the color of this dress, I think it's one of my favorite shades of the night but the dress doesn't do it for me. She looks cheap and costume-y, there's not enough detailing on the dress to combat the color.

in Alexander McQueen.


8/10. Normally I'm not a fan of yellow/gold on anyone especially not a redhead but this works on Jessica. I like the design of the dress and the fit. The embroidery is gorgeous and really takes it to a whole other level.

5/10. I can't say I'm a fan of this look on Giuliana. I saw her pictures from the Golden Globes and I thought she wore the same dress. It's a no-no. She should wear more color. The detailing around the shoulders reminds me of pineapples.

6/10. Not a huge fan but I don't hate it either. I'm big into sparkles but the shape of this dress looks like it could be a pantsuit too. Wouldn't go so far as to say it's ugly.

in Alberta Ferretti


8/10. I love this color on Sarah, it's perfection. The material is gorgeous and I love the draping. I'm not sure about the mismatched sleeves but I love the sash style detailing.

in J. Mendel.


7/10. This dress is so close to amazing. The neckline and shape of it are amazing but I'm not into the color, again not a fan of nudes. I also would like to see a different material used on the bottom of the dress.

6/10. The shawl kills this look for Lea, for sure. As does the overstuffed clutch. You can tell she's a Mom just by looking at that overflowing bag. It looks like a makeup bag and not a stylish clutch. I like the shimmer and the color on her but it's hard to judge the fit with that horrendous shawl.

10/10. This is one of my favorite looks of the night and Nancy's just an announcer. The color is fabulous and you know how I feel about yellow. The black embroidery is perfect and adds a whole new dimension to the look. I like the neckline but I do think Nancy will have to retire all that cleavage soon no matter how young she looks.

9/10. Lara looks like a movie star in this dress. I'm a huge fan of metallics (why do I always write Metallica?) and she works it. I like the back slit and the one shoulder look. The shoes are fabulous as is the hair.

5/10. This is a very blah dress. I generally don't like pale blondes in black and Melanie is no exception. I would like to see her in some color, even just a navy or dark jewel tone. The whole look is cheap and you know she must be able to afford something that is tailored to her body.

in Givenchy Haute Couture


6/10. With someone like Rooney, you wouldn't expect anything but Haute Couture but what is up with the bustline? I'm not sure that I like that. The color is too pale for her but I think that is the point of the look. She's really playing into her character and that is always fun at the Oscar's.

Vivienne Westwood


6/10. Is it just me or this an incredibly weird fit on Rose? I think it would be better with a tighter fit or less drape. The dress looks thick and not particular form fitting. Also, I think it makes her look too thin. Again, never really a fan of black unless the dress is more of a Couture look.

in Elie Saab.


8/10. I like this color on Milla and it really works with her skintone and lipstick shade. The drape is interesting and gives the dress a little something more.

in Louis Vuitton


9/10. Aww, this is what I like to see, a little color. Michelle is rocking this dress. It makes her look sunny and friendly. I like the shape of the dress but it could look a little too costumey. I'm never a fan of short hair on women but Michelle rocks it. Love!

7/10. This color is fabulous, one of my favorites. I also I love that this dress is "green" with recycled zippers and cruelty free silk. Beautiful. I've never really liked the sheer bottom dress so that brings it down a notch. Could also do with a different neckline/sleeve area.
