Fashion at the Oscars







The Oscars is always the annual fashion peak for celebrities. The entire world is watching, critiquing, and criticizing the outfits showcased on the red carpet. And this year, the celebs did not disappoint. Many of the A-list stars chose more classic and elegant gowns this year. There were lots of delicate lace, silk, and ruffles. While most stars were tasteful, there was one in particular who left a sour taste in my mouth. Mariah Carey's dress was not made for a woman of her age or build. For a lady whose role in "Precious" was so celebrated, you would think she would want to embrace the moment and look like an adult. Although her velvet, navy blue Valentino gown was beautiful, it was too revealing on her. She would do better to pick something a little more modest for her next awards show.



A dress that really surprised me was Miley Cyrus'. She looked like a very elegant and beautiful young woman. Her Jenny Packham gown was age appropriate and gorgeous. Diane Kruger, who starred in "Inglorious Basterds", wore a white and black ensemble by Chanel. The rose detailing at her waist brought the dress together beautifully. Demi Moore wore a pale rose ruffled confection by Versace. My top pick for the evening was actress Zoe Saldana, of "Avatar". Her Givenchy dress featured dramatic purple ombre colors on the bottom, and sequined corset. Not many people could pull it off, but she worked it. It's dresses like these that make me wish awards season would go on forever.
