ALMOST OSCAR TIME!!!

So on all the fashion and entertainment websites, everyone is showing what they constitute as the "Best of the Oscar Fashion".  And I am going to say, some of their selections leave some questions in my mind, but today's selection by E! reminded me of something completely different.

And while Michelle Williams, Halle Berry's and Hilary Swanks dresses were expensive and seem to top most lists (not sure why for Halle's-looks like she is at a fancy beach party), Hilary's is what stood out to me.  But again, not for her fashion choice, the color, the fit, etc but what happened a little bit later...during a taping of a little show we call 'Good Morning America.'

While filming an episode of the Hills, before Whitney Port got her own spin-off show, she (enter air quotes here) by chance got selected to wear Hilary's dress when a model didn't show up.  Because I am sure that happens ALL THE TIME.  Regardless, we were treated to this little morsel!

Your Welcome...

Golden Globes Focus...Probably NOT Where These Actresses Wanted

Its officially Awards Season...WOOOHOOO!!!  And last night was the first big event of the year, The Golden Globes.  And with any award season comes my favorite part, the questionable outfit selections.  There were a few "Interesting" choices and then there were the dresses that really stood out to me for different reasons, none of the them for particularly good reasons.  And here they are...



Left to Right: Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig and Halle Berry

I am not saying that these outfit selections by these women were necessarily the worst, but I had some interesting thoughts. Starting with Jessica Chastain, when you are already a pale female (which I am), a light blue gown probably isn't the best choice.  Plus with red hair and red lipstick?  And along with fellow presenter Kristen Wiig, neither really fill out the top of their dress.  So Jessica's kind of just bunches in the chest and hips like pillows, not too flattering.  For Kristen's, I cant decide if it remind me of an exclamation point or an arrow pointing down.  Neither of which should bring attention to kind of a boring outfit.  And finally Halle Berry's dress, was pretty, until the close up where it looked like her right side of her chest area was spilling out of the fabric.  Careful, you might lose something!
 
Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

Perhaps with a needle and thread, some of these "Interesting" dress choices could be fixed.  Jessica's #1 problem is color choice.  And perhaps with a good seamstress the rest could be altered.  Maybe a bolder piece of jewelry, like a necklace with a bit more pop of color may have helped?  For Kristen's, if a cut out is the most interesting part of your outfit, probably not a good sign.  But she doesn't have the right upper body to pull this off and seemed almost uncomfortable.  Maybe also a better accessory piece could of helped.  And Halle, fix the chest area-just looked odd.  Colors were great.

I haven't seen enough of Kristen's outfits to comment on her style selections.  And I am pretty sure with the last few years Jessica has had, she has stylists to help her, Oscar noms and all.  So both ladies need to BURN these dresses and move on.  As for Halle, your people should of stopped this boob action from happening, but no need for drastic means.  Just I expect more next time.

And finally if you are gonna rock a gown, make sure you can walk in it and your shoes.  Girl's winner Lena Dunham looked like it was her first night in heels.  And with winning two awards and somewhat the 'Bell of the Ball', you may want to work on that.  You are in the big leagues now.
