The Oscars- The Art of Fashion

The Art of Fashion

The character is mine, but the design is based on an Erte image. I did a series where I took my characters and put them in Erte's costumes.

“A woman should wear a dress, tight enough to show she’s a woman and loose enough to show she’s a lady.” -Edith Head

The Oscars were held last night and it’s the event for those in Hollywood and anyone that loves music. There were a lot of people rooting for Viola Davis to win the Oscar for best actress, but I wasn’t sure if the performance deserved the trophy. Since I hadn’t seen any of the other films I really couldn’t say for sure. Viola looked stunning in a green Vera Wang gown and sporting her natural hair which really looks good on her. She is a chameleon.
Octavia Spencer, who I was certain would win for best supporting actress looked great and gave a nice speech, but I wish they hadn’t rushed her. It’s a shame they rush the people in the beginning when they know there are going to be spots where time needs to be filled.
Robin Roberts who hosted the red carpet show looked good. Maya Rudolph was in a dress that looked a little too tight even if she was wearing something to hold it all in. The dressed looked like something a bridesmaid would wear. Maybe it was an inside joke.
You can have a great dress, but if the hair doesn’t look right it throws everything off.
Even a man in a tuxedo, if the hair isn’t right it just looks bad. If you’re going bald or if those hair plugs aren’t working out get rid of them and embrace it.

Mila Jovovich, Wow!

Nina Garcia who hosted with Tim Gun was wearing Jean Paul Gautier. Her hair was rather wind blown. The look grew on you over the hour.

Jessica Justine was wearing Alexander McQueen and Michelle Williams who always looks great was in Louie Vitton. Even Miss Piggy was looking great as the Oscars saluted old Hollywood.
Melissa McCarthy is a loveable person. Tina Fey looked great in Caroina Herrera. Colin Firth’s wife just had a dress with too much going on. It had shear and ruffles and layers, the designer couldn’t make up their mind.

Penelope Cruz was old Hollywood in Armani. Louise Rowe who was also a hostess for the red carpet had on an interesting gown, but the hair wasn’t working. Cameron Diaz was really wearing Gucci. Gweneth Paltrow in Tom Ford bringing sublte glamour. George Clooney’s date, Stacy was wearing Marcaza as was Sandra Bullock who was rocking two of my favorite colors. Angelina Jolie was looking good, but she is incredibly thin. Natalie Portman was ravishing in a red gown which I think was vintageYSL or it could have been Oscar De Larenta. Glenn Close wore a very striking green strapless gown with a jacket.

 Jennifer Lopez, one word, Caliente!

I’ve always thought about winning an Oscar, maybe it’ll be for costume or set design. If it’s meant to be it’ll happen.
