Fashion! Oscars 2013!

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarch. I'm going to LCF yayayay!!!!!
Just ordered Sims 3 Seasons. University life is coming out on Tuesday, will weigh up the reviews and make a decision next month or something.
Anyway, Fashion.

Imma chat about the Oscars. Unfortunately, in my opinion I feel a lot of the celebrities got it wrong. It shows that just because you can afford an expensive designer gown doesn't mean it will suit you.. or even look nice. I'll start with the obvious.

Jennifer Lawrence


Unfortunately, I just was not feeling the first one. I was surprised because this dress is Dior Couture, but to me it just looks like a cheap wedding dress. The colour is alright as she seems to have a bit of a glow/tan so isn't too washed out. Overall, a stiff looking dress, which although compliments her frame, doesn't seem suitable for the occasion. I'm not saying she doesn't look stunning... but she could look more stunning with a nice dress.

As for the Vanity Fair Calvin Klein dress, a slight improvement. Makes her tummy look weird in this picture, but a lovely colour. A bit busty for my liking but I think the length compensates. She looks a bit like a star, which is certainly better than looking like a cream puff.

Amanda Seyfried


Absolutely loved her choice of Alexander McQueen. I think is suited her very well, and the sheer material is very on trend this spring. You could say that it is a bit curtainy but I think she carries it well, as it doesn't make her look dragged down.. in fact quite the opposite. She has almost nailed this look. I think if there were no train it would look nicer.

Givency Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci. I agree 100% with the colour, very suitable and looks good with her blonde hair. But I have a thing about dresses with loads of straps. It can look a bit messy.. She looks a bit like she has broken her neck and is wearing a cast.

Amy Adams


She looks a bit like a swan in this Oscar De La Renta number but I like it, it suits her. I like how she hasn't overdone it on the jewellry, so as to not distract from the dress. Not sure about the colour.. washes her out a bit, but then I can't think of a better colour for this dress. Perhaps black?

All the stars seem to overall look better to me in their after- party attire. Maybe it is because I am not a fan of big poofy dresses in general. I prefer minimalism, it does more for your shape and people don't trip over you. So this one is another from De La Renta. Massive Great Gatsby flapper vibe coming from this dress and I like it. She looks like tinsel! I think it was a good choice, but if the neckline were a bit more daring, the dress would be sexier.

Anne Hathaway


Red carpet look=Prada. Not a completely bad choice, though I have to say the pale pink washes her out almost completely. Why do pale people do this to themselves?!!!! Having said this, I absolutely love the design of this dress and think it flatters her figure very well. Why she wore a necklace with this I will never know, just the bracelets would have been cool. She has the right hair for this dress, just not the right skin tone.

Saint Laurent. So she failed on the colour and got the design right with the first dress, and now it is the opposite for this dress. Brilliant colour for her skin tone, makes her skin look purer somehow. I hate the gold embellishment at the top, it clashes with the style of the dress. On the plus side, at least it matches her Oscar. Without it, she would look like a fool in this picture.

Charlize Theron


Dior Couture. Love the peplum on this dress, she carries it off well. It is white which gives off a slight wedding vibe to me but the dress is too modern for this to be an issue. Again, maybe without the train it would look nicer, because the dress is so beautifully structured and then there is this loose, perhaps flimsy train... The dress looks fabulous without it.

Reese Witherspoon

One word: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. Cobalt suits some people but on Reese it just looks artificial. Also, in my opinion the blue and the black clash. The neckline doesn't compliment her boobs, if she had smaller boobs then sure. What is with the side trail?! The material has ruched up as a result and the creases don't do anything for her small frame! Louis Vuitton.

Melissa McCarthy

I put this one in for the lolz to be honest. I don't even know where to begin, but I'm sure you are thinking it all already. Colour=No. Design=No. Sleeves=No. Weird embellishments=No. Train=No. Neckline=No. Dress=No. Go change.

Sandra Bullock


Bullock has got this so right. Elie Saab is my favourite gown designer anyway, and once again I love this dress. The beads and lace remind me of a sari, and they make a nice difference from some of the plainer dresses worn at the event. No jewellry worn except for a ring, which is good as it doesn't take away from the dress. Although the dress covers everything the sheer material makes it look sexy. Very pretty!
PoD Oscar Fashion Rating: 9.9/10 (lose the ring!)
