An overflowing cornucopia of style at the Oscars. Doncha think? February 24, 2013 17:12 2 Comments
As always, my favorite thing about the Oscar ceremony was the fashion. This year did not disappoint. My tip-top selections:
Perhaps not the popular choice — I noticed while trolling for pics that this made some worst-dressed lists — but this is my favorite 2013 Oscar dress. Donna Karan Atelier's design for Kelly Rowland simply stunned. It's sexy. It's unique.
I am also smitten with Fan Bingbing's Marchesa design. There are those who think it overwhelms the Chinese actress — and I admit it does indeed look better on the runway model. But Ms. Bingbing still looks lovely and smart. It's a perfect update of a 1950s look. Vogue, Butterick, copy this pattern, please. It's just the attire for my lifestyle. Perfect for reclining on the sofa or baking cookies.
Another favorite: Naomi Watt's armored column, courtesy of Armani Prive. Sophisticated. Strong. And she looks most fetching in it.
I also love the Valentino Couture frock of Jennifer Aniston. Gorgeous tomato red. And a style fit for a princess. She never lets me down.
So. If you could command a pattern company to make up one of the Oscar gowns, which would it be? Do share. One of these gowns? Or something entirely different? I am eager to know. I am.

Definitely the couture Valentino. Yes, that’s my favorite, although what I’d really like is a vintage Balenciaga.

Oh, yay! Someone else who liked Fan Bingbing’s dress! That was the only dress that I really gave a second look. Reminds me of origami and I love the bright color. =)
