It's Oscar Night...

Tonight is the night that anyone who is anyone...better have a stylist.  It is also the one night of the year, that I can 100% blame a stylist.  Because although they may not of made the final decision, they probably brought the celeb the dress and/or suit to choose from.  So here goes...

I absolutely hate Solange Knowles red paint suit with train, there really isn't any other way to say it:

Solange Knowles

Gumby

With the big hair and full coverage red outfit (is it a dress or a suit), its a little much and a little too boring at the same time.  Without any sparkles or anything to draw attention from the outfit, all I can say is she reminds me of a red Gumby.   And man a mock turtle neck just screams elegance right?  Yet the biggest question, why is she even there?

The other dress I thought was terrible was by a young actress that I haven't ever posted about, or at least remember posting about, Chloe Grace Moretz. The pleated strapless gown that almost swallows her whole would probably of even enough to write about.  But throw in the floral pattern and it made it even more worth-while to write about.  Her Miu Miu gown is pretty bad bad.

Chloe Grace Moretz

The satin top started out okay enough, but then went down a floral hill really really fast.  Again, nothing to draw attention away from the dress.  No fun shoes.  No cute clutch. No sparkling million dollar necklace. Even her hair is kinda blah.

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

For Solange's dress, there is just so many layers.  Maybe remove the sleeves, make it lower cut in the front or try and remove some of the multiple layers?

For Chloe, the pattern is what really turns me off.  It doesn't scream Oscar as much as "My Mom Made this Dress and I am wearing it to the Oscars".  And I know that isn't the case.

And Gumby...hey, its Gumby.  Its a classic and should be left alone.  And who doesn't love a green suit?

Anyways no need to delay the inevitable.  Both these dresses should BURN, it's the least we can do for them.  And as for the stylist's, well Chloe is still young.  So I will give her a pass.  But Solange, hello, your sister is Beyonce.  Doesn't she like own the world?  FIRE your stylist and what can I say, I expected more!

A Little Color Can go a Long Way...Sometimes TOO Far!!!

I have heard of matching your shoes and your bag.  But not sure I have done the matching the shoes and lipstick angle...especially when said shoes are purple.  But that is what Amanda Seyfried did at the Mui Mui fashion week show in Paris. 

Amanda is wearing a 3 button red suit, which is a bit matronly, especially for Miu Miu show, but that's what she went with.  Styled with Prada bag and purple heels, she was ready to make a statement.  And that she did. When I originally saw the picture, I didn't really see to much wrong with it, till I scrolled down to the shoes.  She is a pale girl and while some color may be good, so much reds and purples overpower her.  I guess this is why we never saw Casper the friendly ghost wearing clothes...

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

Well I am not a fan of over the ankle length pants, so maybe a longer pant and more stylish suit jacket would help. Best case, get rid of the shoes with that outfit, they aren't even the right style to go with a suit. 

I think this is a case of when a shoe goes bad and good people get hurt.  The good people being you and me, who have to look at this outfit together.  Maybe she had 3 stylists and all of them picked out a piece of her outfit, without seeing the others.  I am not sure, but I know Amanda can do better.  So lets not BURN anything today, since they are PRADA shoes, but not wear as a outfit together again....and you are now a 2-time offender and officially on my watch list! (Wait- I need to start a watch list first.)

The Machine should help Florence with her Outfit

I saw Florence + the Machine in Santa Barbara this summer to kick off their tour.  Girl can sing...but she cannot dress,   YEESH!!! 

Florence Welch and I have never really had much in common fashion wise, this was apparent when I saw her on tour.  But this...this is a whole other level of bad. At the Venice Film Festival she wore multiple Miu Miu patterns, high water pants and high heeled ankle boots.  Her accessories aren't much better than her outfit.  She looks like that kid who went on a growth spurt right before the first day of school...and then apparently went blind right before picking out her clothing.

Hmmm, how to save this outfit?

Both patterns are pretty bold, too much to mix.  Generally if you are going to mix patterns, one should be a bit more subdued, like a pinstripe.  Then you can do a crazy floral pattern like she tried since the more minimalist pattern becomes the solid.  I guess picking a basic colored top or bottom wasn't in her plans and throwing on the black belt and shoes comes off somewhat harsh since most of the tones in the outfit are brown.  What happened to her trademark crazy dresses?  Pretty sure that would of been better than this debacle. 

While flipping through my Ipod, I see she has a song titled 'Strangeness & Charm' which seemed to fit while writing this post.  However while strange, this look is certainly not charming.  BURN the entire thing, nothing to save. And doesn't she even look uncomfortable and maybe a little angry?  So I am guessing someone told her to wear this, so FIRE them as well.  And finally, stick with music, not fashion...
