Best Oscar Dresses

| Badgley Mischka, celebrity, Chanel, Dior, Elie Saab, Fashion and Style, Givenchy, Prada, Versace

I have to agree with my bloggy friends Erin and Whitney, there were some real misses last night on the Red Carpet.  IT was so bad an hour of the way through I thought about canceling this post because I did not think I would have enough dresses to write about, but thanks to some of the classics, I found a ten dresses to justify a best dressed post.  And Tweeted 39 times, if that bugged you, sorry, it is not a normal occurrence!

To say I did a happy dance last night when Jared Leto won – that is an understatement.  Dallas Buyers Club was a truly phenomenal film and as a credit to his acting and portrayal of the character, I did not know it was him until more than an hour into the movie.   But on to the attire, these were my ten favorite dresses from last night’s 86th Academy Awards:

I do have to say, I almost put Anna on here because of how amazing the back of her dress was but I just could not get over the front.  Amy was boring.  Anne was just a no. Kerry looked like she was wearing a bed sheet. There were lots of other misses in my book but lets leave those to Perez Hilton and every magazine in the world next week.  

I know the post says dresses, but gosh darn, there were a lot of very attractive men last night. 
Tyson Beckford / Leonardo DiCaprio / Kevin Spacey

Bradley Cooper / Kellan Lutz / Jeremy Renner

And there you have it, my 17 best dressed. 
Who topped your list?

  2. I love your picks. Jenna, Angelina, Kate, Julia…they all looked amazing. I can’t to an Oscar fashion post this year because it would be 60 pictures long

  4. Jennifer Lawrence… I didn’t watch the Oscars but I saw the gif of her falling. 😉

  9. Kelly Osbourne’s dress looks great, but she looks incredibly unimpressed. 😛 And I would love J.Law even if she were dressed in a paper bag.

  10. i agree with all of your dress picks – i just can’t like jennifer lawrence’s hair short! other than that everyone you chose looked fabulous 🙂

  13. Awesome !!! =3
    I liked Kate Hudson’s & Sandra Bullock’s dresses 🙂
    I’m not fan about the black mermaid :S

  14. I’d have to say your best dressed are pretty much my best dressed! I also though Olivia Wilde looked amazing–such a gorgeous pregnant lady!

  15. Shows what I know, I loved most of the dresses! I actually thought J.Law’s makeup ruined it for me. Will even thought she looked weird.
