82nd Academy Award Red Carpet Fashion

The Academy Awards is the most prestigious red carpet event of the year, every single actress , designer and stylist have spent months putting together their looks for the evening- and then hold their breathes waiting to see what the public reaction is!!!!
Personally I think fashion is subjective and what one person loves another may hate, although I also think that certain silhouettes and colours should not be worn by everyone-so without further ado here are the dresses that grabbed my attention.

Amanda Seyfried-Armani Prive
I felt this dress was too voluminous for Amanda's 
petite frame, and looked a little like a wedding dress.


Anna Kendrick-Elie Saab Haute Couture
A beautiful soft and feminine dress, however
I am not entirely sure of the colour on her?


Carey Mulligan-Prada
I loved this look-it was edgy and glamorous at the same time
and her shoes, hair and bag were perfect.


  Charlize Theron-Christian Dior
I am not a fan of satin..or lilac...or bizarre bust pieces
that's all I'm saying on this one!!


Demi Moore-Atelier Versace
A soft feminine look, however I felt this dress was very "safe", 
it didn't excite me at all.


Diane Kruger-Chanel Haute Couture
I absolutely loved this- it was fresh and modern,
while still being beautifully feminine.


Kristen Stewart-Monique Lhuillier
I was please to see Kristen ditched her usual grunge look
in favor of this grown up gown. The colour and silhoette are amazing
on her, I do however feel statement earrings would have finished the look.


Maggie Gyllenhaal-Dries Van Noten
Satin creases when you sit down-this is why I'm not a fan-it looks
like a crinkled mess to me-and the print lends itself more to
day wear than a red carpet event-not a favorite!!! 


Mariah Carey-Valentino Haute Couture
Eek-this dress is just too tight, it does NOT flatter!!!

Meryl Streep-Chris March
I loved this look on her-its age appropriate and the hair
is soft and feminine!!


Miley Cyrus-Jenny Packham
I thought this was perfect for Miley-
she looks like a sophisticated princess going to a ball.


Nicole Richie-Reem Acra
OK I know this is not everyone's taste,
however I loved this-I think she looks flawless!!


Penelope Cruz-Donna Karan
Ho Hum, as usual Penelope looks stunning-
but I feel like I have seen her in this look a hundred times?? 


Rachel McAdams-Elie Saab Haute Couture
Rachel was a breathe of fresh air in this beautifully, 
soft, printed dress. Her earrings finish this look off perfectly.


Sandra Bullock-Marchesa
A beautifully made gown and I loved her bold red lips,
however her hair was a little boring and the overall look was a little "safe" for my taste.


Sarah Jessica Parker-Chanel Haute Couture
A lot of critics did not like this dress, however I thought
it was beautiful on Sarah. I did feel her eye make-up was a little strong. 


Sigourny Weaver-Lanvin
 This dress is very beautiful and classic-however
I feel this silhouette does nothing for Sigourny, the colour however
looks good on her.


Zoe Saldana-Givenchy Haute Couture
I love the idea of the ruffles, however the slit in front
combined with the very different colour bodice is confusing to me. 


Vera Farmiga-Marchesa
I saved my personal best for last-This is the epitome of Oscar night Glamor for me!!
The colour, the fit, her hair and make-up are all perfection!
This dress is far from "safe" and makes a big statement A+


I would love to know every ones opinions so feel free to comment!!!
