2011 Oscars: Red Carpet

Let's be honest, this year's Oscars was a total travesty.

James Franco seemed to be high, Anne Hathaway's overcompensating laughs and wild arm gestures were pathetic, and the show (minus the bit with Russell Brand and Helen Mirren) left me feeling slightly embarrassed and extremely uncomfortable. 

The good news is that there was fashion, and lots of it!

Starting with Ms. Anne Hathaway (aka. the fabulous Rachel Zoe) who had 7 outfits, in addition to her red carpet arrival gown:

Givenchy

I love this look - from the high ponytail to the big bowtie, she made the tux look great:

Lanvin

Eh - also, the hair is hideous, but my sisters and I agreed that it was prep for future looks:

Vivienne Westwood

Fantastic color, not sure about the cut:

Armani Prive

Yes, yes, yes:

Atelier Versace

Looks better in this photo than it did on stage:

Tom Ford

I think this was my favorite:

Oscar de la Renta

. . . until she ruined it by acting like a clown on stage:

Now, on to the red carpet!

(Worst Of: Bottom 9)

Atrocious bodice, hideous skirt, mismatched shoes (but I love the Fred Leighton diamond choker):

I do not like this at all, but I think it is because of the hair is all wrong, the lipstick color is awful, and Mandy Moore is wearing it:

Monique Lhuillier

Cupcake, n'est-ce pas?

Collette Dinnigan

I think the proportions are off(?):

Yuck:

Romona Keveza

Not cute:

The color is too flashy for me:

Versace

Straight fug (I don't care how vintage it is):

Vintage 1950's Charles James Couture

(Not Bad)

You knew you were going to win the Oscar, you could have turned up the glam a 'lil bit (nice color though):

I like the color contrasting, but I dislike the neckline and sleeves:

L'Wren Scott

Hot:

Ill-fitting and event-inappropriate:

Marc Bouwer

Too much:

Valentino

Absolutely gorgeous gown, but it is the same look all the time (and needs more jewels):

At least this dress was not as crazy as some others:

Colleen Atwood

. . . although the craziness of the lady inside the dress is still same (and we love her for it).

The dress is hideous, albeit environmentally friendly; he is adorable as ever:

A recycled dress and Tom Ford

Your father may be Steven Spielberg and your dress may be Lanvin, but you need a new hairstylist, accessories, and a tailor:

Lanvin

Now it is time for the men:

Bromancing

Black
