Oscars' Best Dressed..I Think Not



Once again, Desperate didn’t have a new episode this week due to the Oscars.  I figured I’d make this blog this week then about the Oscars, mainly the red carpet pre-show.  I went onto People.com and saw what they nominated at the top 19 best-dressed women.  I personally did not agree with some of their ratings so here is what I think the top 3 worst-dressed on their best-dressed list.

First off is Cate Blanchett.   She is wearing a much shorter hair cut without her long locks of blonde hair which I don’t think flatters her that well personally.  Now back to her dress.  I just think its very plain and strange looking.  You’ve got a seashell/circular figure on her chest with a rippled, textured affect that continues on the bottom portion of the dress.  The detail with the little spheres everywhere just don’t do anything for the dress and are basically pointless detailing.  Next, the cut of the dress is just very odd and boring yet again.  The sleeves have a boxed look to them and create a boxed looking for the rest of the dress, doing nothing for her small figure.  And finally, the random yellow touch at the top is so random and is just there—they don’t add much more appeal to the dress or anything.  Basically in my opinion, a big thumbs down.
Next up is Michelle Williams.  First of all, I am not really a fan of the pixy hair cut to begin with and I think she looked much better with her longer hair.  Now on to the dress.  It’s a very simple, tight fitting dress that has really nothing to it.  The nude color I don’t think agrees very well with her pale skin tone.  I understand a lot of celebrities go for that nude dressed look but I just am not a huge fan of it, especially when one’s skin tone doesn’t agree.  It’s a sheer base with beading detail all over it basically that just adds to the dreary tone.  The tee-shirt like sleeves don’t add to the appeal of the dress either just making it seem like a dull dress that resembles a tee-shirt on the top.  I do agree that it does flatter her figure somewhat by showing how skinny her waist it but other than that it’s just very blah and makes for a boring look-at at the Oscars.
Last up is Mandy Moore.  I really hate to do this to her because I am a fan of hers but this dress, not so much.  Beginning with her hair, I just am not a fan of the slick-back, middle part look so that wasn’t setting the mood very well when I first saw her on the red carpet.  The nude color of this dress too blends in too much with her pale skin tone.  Unless you get a zoomed in view of the top of the dress, you can’t tell where it cuts off and that there is a straight across neckline of the jewels across her neck and continuing to her shoulders.  When we get to the waist, I just find it very weird, the cut.  It looks like the dress is in two parts and the bottom part is wired or something to make it stick out—just very weird.  I do actually like the bottom half of the different material and the transition between the jewels and such to that other material but its just the neckline and the weird waist that is killing this look for her.
I really did not see any appeal in any of the dresses and I find it very hard and strange to believe that these three actresses were on People.com’s top 19 best dressed at the Oscars.

  1. The dresses were the worse, but I'm highly disappointed in Mandy Moore. She usually dresses to impress.
