The Oscars 2009

Finally it is here, my Oscars post. It has taken a long long time.
Nude/white shimmer has to be the official look of the night - there was just so much of it going on. Although the winning dress was a blue/charcoal grey Yves Saint Laurent.
When I looked at the pictures online this morning a lot of the dresses I really didn't like, but then I saw them on TV in motion and they looked much better. I'm still not into Jessica's mess of a look or poor Heidi Klum's dress, which she apparently couldn't sit in properly and therefore had a dead-leg all night.
I haven't decided on my favourite look yet. I do think Marion, SJP and Amy Adams (who I haven't included in this post) all looked great.
The surprises of the night for me were Jennifer Aniston, who looked fabulous, I really thought she'd look a bit dull in a black halter dress, and Frieda Pinto. I'm hoping Frieda's dress will grow on me because I really want to like it. It's just the sleeve makes it look like something a much older star would wear. So here it is:


















Feel free to comment on who you rated and hated.
Now I need to go and sleep. My eyes actually sting from looking at the computer too long - so I'm sure there are plenty of typos hanging about.

Update: There may be some confusion over the fact Miley Cyrus is not in the worst dressed section. I think she looked terrible (and why was she even there?) but didn't want to repeat the image so just left her with the shimmery ladies. I am not a fan.

Dead Raccoons, Birds, Hats and yes, more Gorillas

Yesterday my friend Katie came to visit from Scotland so we went to check out Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones at the V&A.
What I wasn't expecting to find was a hat (well more of a tent) that was particularly Gorillaish. It was made from ostrich feathers by Stephen Jones for none other than Giles Deacon for the Giles s/s 07 show. So the Gorilla arms weren't Giles' first Gorilla look.

There was also this insane hat that was just a dead Raccoon with a dead Bird on it's neck. Pretty much the most disgusting thing you could ever wear on your head.

So would you rather look like a Gorilla or wear a Raccoon/Bird hat?

Hollywood
Celebrities know that sunglasses are the only way to protect themselves from all the pap flashes and right now they are going the (very) dramatic route with huge sporty shades.

And yes that is Britney at this lovely blog but I do adore those Gucci sg's.
