If I Had to Walk the Red Carpet

The Best Red Carpet Dresses - Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace, 84th Academy Award

Happy International Women’s Day!  Did anyone watch the Oscar’s on Sunday? I missed it because i was traveling but I heard it was great and my favorite part is always the gowns. Speaking of fashion, the next wedding I am going to the attire for women is a “bright cocktail dress” but I have been trying to find some other location to wear this stunning lilac gown to.  And that got me thinking – in the exact opposite direction for finding a dress for this event – what would I wear if I had to attend a real red carpet event, what would I wear?   I would hope by whatever time I have the privilege to walk a red carpet I am either famous for some reason I have not thought of yet or a really, really big blogger and in either case a designer would offer to dress me (which would be a dream) because these gowns – never mind the shoes, jewels, bag, hair, and makeup – all cost a pretty penny.  But money aside besides Angelina’s thigh high slit above here are five other gowns I would love to wear:

Six gorgeous gowns worn by six gorgeous ladies all to different years of the Oscars or Academy Awards. I know you can wear a short dress or even pants if you want but I am positive I would go with a long gown, likely with either a statement feature or in a bold color.   

Do you have a favorite red carpet dress?

    If I had a back like Hilary Swank I would definitely be wearing that one!
