Oscar's style

So what do we make of this year's selection? www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2958930/Giuliana-Rancic-Kelly-Osbourne-kick-red-carpet-Academy-Awards-dramatic-looks.html ?

I really like Jamie King and Rosamund Pike. I'm not a big fan of Lady Gaga's and was disappointed in Juilianne Moore's dress as she usually looks great.

I'm not keen on Scarlett Johansson's Kim Jong Un hair. It's a lovely dress and colour but I think the necklace is overkill.

keira knightlys dress is an improvement on her previous maternity red carpet frocks. not sure about the colour though.

WipsGlitter · 23/02/2015 07:30

I though Keira's was a bit pale for her colouring. I love Cate Blanchet. I don't like that tan/nude/gold colour Jennifer Aniston and Jo lo have on. I like Felicity Jones.

meglet · 23/02/2015 07:35

I was thinking Julianne Moore didn't look quite as good as she usually does (imo). she swapped from Tom Ford to Chanel.

but I do like Reese Witherspoon and apparently she is in TF now.

Whitershadeofpale · 23/02/2015 07:38

I never like that nude colour very much, it suits very few people. I like Felicity Jones too, I think it's splitting opinion though, I've seen her on the worst dress lists.

I was a bit disappointed by this year's outfits, nothing that massively wowed me!

Has Sienna Miller gone a bit heavy with the countouring or are they her real cheekbones?!

Floisme · 23/02/2015 07:41

What's with all the white and beige? I think some of them need to get their colours done.

Whitershadeofpale · 23/02/2015 07:42

Combination of the two I think diryan she's definitely lost weight.

I thought Emma Stone looked best. Cate Blanchett looked lovely too, as usual.

burnishedsilver · 23/02/2015 08:08

Quite a few look like they're in wedding dresses.

IloveChoo · 23/02/2015 08:14

My top 3 picks:

  1. I loved Margot Robbie in this YSL dress, love the arms. 2)Jen Aniston always look fab in neutral
  2. Scarlett in forest green & amazing necklace, suits her colouring & a divine cut.

I think Margot Robbie's photographed beautifully but in real life the side tie made it resemble a posh dressing gown.

WipsGlitter · 23/02/2015 08:32

Without the necklace Scarlett's is a bit cruise ship!

Eliza22 · 23/02/2015 08:34

Felicity Jones. A gown....not a dress! Gorgeous.

BOFster · 23/02/2015 08:37

I hated the Scarlett Johanson dress, found Jen Aniston's dull, but Margot looked fantastic- very LA Confdential.

My favourites were Emma Stone in green, Lupita in that fabulous pearl creation, and Rosamund Pike.

Sophie (Mrs Cumberbatch) wotsit showed how to do Oscar maternity style, and Georgina Chapman (with Harvey Weinstein) looked like a glorious Tudor queen.

Honourable mention to Naomi Watts.

I wasn't blown away by Reece Witherspoon's monochrome look, but I thought Jennifer Lawrence looked relaxed and stylish in her version- much better than her winning year's Dior princess fussiness. Marion Cotillard pulled white and black off well too. Wasn't convinced by the one-shoulder weirdness of Patrica Arquette.

Booby prize for J-Lo (like a naked explosion), and my Can't Decide category includes Felicity Jones and the slightly dull Sienna Miller effort.

I thought Julianne looked fantastic, but she could wear a paper bag to the same effect.

Lol at misplaced apostrophe

BunnyLebowski · 23/02/2015 08:51

God it was so disappointing dress wise.

Emma Stone looked incredible. Green on a redhead is a cheat though Grin .

Wish Julianne Moore had been wearing red. Her dress was snoozeville. As was Felicity's and Patricia Arquette's. Reese's didn't do anything for me at all. Boring monochrome.

Gwyneth's was laughably bad (a nod to her other baby pink when she won for Shakespeare in Love?).

Hated all the nude dresses (J Lo, Jennifer Anniston, Keira Knightley, Zoe Saldana). Hated all the frou frou Marchesa (Mrs Weinstein included).

Loved Naomi Watts and Margot Robbie (as much for wearing a bold lip as for their fab dresses).

Grin Grin at ScarJo's Kim Jong Un hair. Did not like her dress.

Thought Cate Blanchett's turquoise necklace was stunning. Even phoning it in in a simple black dress the woman is a goddess.

Oh and Nicole Kidman's dress was awful and her face. Her poor used to be gorgeous face Shock Shock Shock .

BOFster · 23/02/2015 09:00

Jennifer Lawrence, Sophie Hunter, and Naomi Watts, all thumbs up from me.

We need a picture limit extension for Oscar morning!

Jennifer Lawrence's dress is like one your mum would make for prom.

BOFster · 23/02/2015 09:04

I agree with you, Bunny, about Nicole Kidman- she always used to do Oscar glamour so well, but last night was a bit of a nadir for her.

Zoe Saldana's dress was oddly unflattering to her figure, and the wide double straps on what I presume was a Vivienne Westwood dress on the very slender Jessica Chastain miraculously gave her the look of a line-backer. Most unfortunate.

IloveChoo · 23/02/2015 09:09

My worst dress was this open crochet, boring white sack with a nappy type ruched extension on the back. wtf.

I would put Rita Ora's red carpet effort in the sin bin too- the fishtail is very old-fashioned, and it looks like one boob has fallen out.

BOFster · 23/02/2015 09:15

Jessica Chastain and <a class="break-all" href="https://s1.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/vnaOj_UyV3aJ1cG4EJQkWw--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Y2g9MTAyMTtjcj0xO2N3PTYzMDtkeD0wO2R5PTA7Zmk9dWxjcm9wO2g9NzIwO2lsPXBsYW5lO3E9NzU7dz00NDQ-/l.yimg.com/os/publish-images/lifestyles/2015-02-23/93bcf870-baf0-11e4-a383-6d99d5b2605c_Zoe-Saldana-Oscars-2015-dress.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zoe Saldana- not the best they could have chosen, IMO.

BunnyLebowski · 23/02/2015 09:22

YY to both Bof.

Jessica Chastain's was Givenchy. Very unflattering in the attempt to give her va va boom curves.

Zoe Saldana's was Atelier Versace. Could have been wonderful but just looked odd on her body. And that bloody nude colour AGAIN!
