Long sleeves,
strapless looks, and white gowns aside, there were surprisingly few running
trends on this year's Oscars red carpet. While colors and silhouettes were all
over the place, the big question of the night was who would Rooney Mara opt to
wear and not too surprisingly, she opted for Givenchy. What was surprising,
however, was that she didn’t opt for a gothic black Givenchy, but instead wore
a panel cream colored floor length look with mixed lace and multi-layered
chiffon lining. Also in a light look was Jennifer Lopez in an ivory Zuhair
Murad gown with linear embellishment and cutout sleeves it could have done
without. Cameron Diaz walked the red carpet in a Gucci Premiere strapless nude
silk gown with chiffon skirt plisse layers and glass bugle beads, fringe, and a
beaded clutch. Kristen Wiig also opted for nude, wearing a J. Mendel tulle
strapless gown with a woven bodice and a hand pleated layered skirt, and while
she looked beautiful, she could have used some more accessories to liven up her
look.
Eyes were also on
Michelle Williams in a coral Louis Vuitton that took 300 hours to fashion! Made
of burnt silk mousseline and organza ribbons, Williams looked adorable with her
pixie cut depite the gown being a little too prom-looking for my personal
taste. Also somewhat prom-looking was Octavia Spencer's Tadashi Shoji. On the
opposite end of the spectrum, Jessica Chastain opted for an ornate Alexander
McQueen bustier gown made with black silk organza, gold bullion, and metal
thread – more impressive than her dress, however, were the $2 million worth of
Harry Winston rocks she wore.
Another actress the
fashion world has their eyes on is Emma Stone and while it feels as though
we’ve seen a look much like her red Giambattista Valli gown with an oversized
neck bow tie a number of times before (notably, Nicole Kidman in a similar red
Balenciaga at the 2007 Oscars), she still looked beautiful. Similarly been
there/seen that was Penelope Cruz in a Giorgio Armani blue grey
off-the-shoulder organza evening gown – yes it was beautiful, but also somewhat
of a snooze. Angelina Jolie wore a simple strapless black Atelier Versace gown
with thigh high slit — gorgeous, but again the same old silhouette we've seen
from her.
The best dressed of
the night were Stacy Keibler in a
languid Marchesa, Rose Byrne in a black sparkling Vivienne Westwood, Gwyneth
Paltrow in Tom Ford (our first peek at a look from his Fall 2012 collection!),
and Milla Jovovich in an Elie Saab Couture gown with a sculpted shoulder. Tina
Fay was Carolina Herrera’s exclusive and while I’m personally over seeing
peplums, the fact that they’re still strong on the Fall 2012 runways, means
that most people aren’t.
