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!
I know the post says dresses, but gosh darn, there were a lot of very attractive men last night.
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:
Lupita Nyong’o in Prada and Fred Leighton
(Congratulations to L on her terrific win and amazingly eloquent speech)

Sandra Bullock in Alexander McQueen
Kate Hudson in Versace
Julia Roberts in Givenchy
Jenna Dawn Tatum in Reem Acra
Jennifer Lawerence in Dior
Glenn Close in Zac Posen
Jessica Biel in CHANEL Haute Couture
Kelly Osbourne in Badgley Mischka
The King and Queen of the Red Carpet:
Angelina Jolie in Elie Saab Couture
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.

My picks were Charlize, Kate, Lupita, and Jared Leto. I really liked Naomi’s dress too.
Christine Rosko says
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
Abby says
A lot of these were my favorites too. I was really loving the sparkly taupes and nudes.

I loved Julia, Luptia and Kate, too!
Clever Girl Reviews says
Lupita, Cate, and Kate. Bette and Jenna also looked very chic.
Kristen says
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.
Amy Breckenridge says
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 🙂
Helene says
Kate and Angelina were my favorites, but they are just so breathtaking on their own!
Annie says
Such pretty dresses…Lupita totally nailed it!

I liked Kate Hudson’s & Sandra Bullock’s dresses 🙂
I’m not fan about the black mermaid :S
Alyssa says
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!
Janna says
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.
Sharon says
I agree with Lupita, Sandra, and Kate for Best Dressed! I was kinda underwhelmed by JLaw. I know she has the contract with Dior though so she can only choose from so many dresses.

Now I loved J.Law’s dress, but that hair just wasn’t doing anything good for her!
