Oscar Favorites 2012

Well, another Oscar night has come and gone. Second only to the Met Ball, the Oscars are a huge night for fashion. I can't imagine how much waxing, plucking, buffing, liquid dieting, pose practicing, double sided tape goes into this event. I always enjoy the dresses far more than the actual awards. Successful Hollywood types are already winning enough. Money, fame, free clothes, fabulous parties, beautiful houses, etc. Sure there is always the dark side of drugs, insecurity, aging, bankruptcy.....but how many glamorous televised events do we need to watch this elite group give each other statues? Although.....without these ego stroking events, we might not get to see so many dresses!!! Anyway, on with the show, these are my favs. Mila Jovovich. I have always loved and been fascinated by Mila. She looks incredibly beautiful in this white Elie Saab gown.
Gwyneth Paltrow in Tom Ford. Who doesn't love sexy beast Tom Ford? His Gucci designs are incredibly collectible and his own line is highly coveted by those who can afford his sky high prices. Love the cape and the diamond cuff, loathe the low ponytail.
Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton. I love the coral color and the delicate diamond bow. The pleating is a work of art.
Rooney Mara in Givenchy. Very avant garde no? Very Rooney, very Oscar worthy.
Glen Close in Zac Posen. Again, I'm a sucker for gorgeous pleating. This dress is the prefect combination of accentuating her tiny waist with detailing, but adding a bit of coverage with a blazer.
