Oscars ...

[scottishlass]

I stayed up for the Oscars ... but strangely missed Orlando *LOL*
I loved most of the dresses but what I will never understand is that almost all women sometimes look really REALLY bad in those fabulous gowns. Either they looked too thin, too fat, or just not right in these. Don't they have assistants who tell then what looks good on them and what not?

WORST dress IMHO and showing that the old adage of a beautiful coat hanger will make a beautiful dress is WRONG: Giselle Bündchen, showing that Regency clothing without the original look looks BAD! And makes the bearer look pregnant rather than lithe, beautiful and sprite-like.
I guess the designer thought to mix early 14th century Italian highwaisted gowns with Regency gowns, but leaving the vital sleeves off. It just looks sooooooooooooooo bad ....

My favourite dress, hands down, was Cate Blanchett's beautiful yellow gown with magenta-red satin waist band. BEAUTIFUL !!!
Special mentions for Julie Delpy and Kate Winslet, both in their own rights very beautiful ladies, they both chose gowns that enhanced their beauty.

oh and it is snowing ... I mean snowing as in little white flakey things bustling at great speed through the streets almost vertical ... and it is damn cold ...
I cannot remember a time when I really REALLY detested snow so much as this year :s

I thought Helen Mirren looked stunning. That hairstyle really suits her, don't you think?

Hi Una,
I agree about the dresses - wonderful dresses, funny figures. Once again I thought that those actress were much too slim, they all looked desperate in need of food. Especially those over 40 - why does nobody stop this crazyness about beeing slim.
I liked Cate Blanchett as well, and Drew Barrymore - though I hardly recognized her at first. Somebody called it a boring look, I thought it very classy and feminine and grown up.
By the way, you are not the only one detesting the snow. I so much want it to be spring now - sunny and warm instead of grey, cold and wet. Let's hope it will be over soon.
A.

Absolutly right!!!
But then Helen Mirren is a real Lady and great actress - dignified and though she still has a good figure, she doesn't has to be desperatly slim. She always looks very confident!!!

Oh yes, the snow is really getting to me. Especially if I have to wait for the S-Bahn to get to Neuss or Kaarst in the driving snow :s
I want SPRING!

The first words out of my mouth when I saw her were 'Wow, she looks amazing.'. She's always been my favourite actress and it's lovely to see her looking like a million bucks!
