In the past, I have always watched the Oscars and enjoyed most of the presentations and the Red Carpet. Howbeit there was that stretch of years where it became tooooooooo political and lengthy... I admit not even wanting to view--even though invitations for great appetizers and fanfare were offered.
Last evening I was actually armed with pen and pad to give my overall view of the event to be posted on the blog. I decided to give my feedback on the Great Gowns of the evening. Many sites on the internet elect "the best and the worst,” I just feel that there is a lot of "bad-mouthing" going on these days. I am staying on the positive end of things, if not for anything else but to continue this day with the serenity with which it began!!!!!!!!!!
I had a few favorite gowns of the night, but what I actually saw was that the gowns I liked were worn by the right person. I thought the match up of body type, color, age, stature and personality were presented well.
Cameron Diaz's silvery, beaded gown was a red carpet classic with a sophistication to match her soft hairstyle.
Everyone loved Sandra Bullock's gown and commented how it was the perfect gown for the perfect winner. It was interesting to also take a look from a variety of photos to see the antique beadwork and shading effects from the lighting.
The draping and rouching of Mo'Nique's gown was flattering. The shade of blue accented her skin tone as well as her perfectly coiffed hairstyle set off with gardenias. Hattie McDaniel would have been proud!
The muted bluish gray color of Hellen Mirren's dress gave her that authentic air of grandeur and definitely let the women of her generation realize the air of grace that still emanates.
In the same vain, Meryl Streep looked relaxed and confident in her ivory gown with a plunging neckline. Even though she grimaced about her Jimmy Choo's she held her poise.
Queen Latifah chose the perfect shade of pink rose and the perfect contour of gown to highlight every effect of her curvaceous stature. Her flawless skin and presentation of jewels to accent the night were right on the money!!!
Speaking of skintone and gowns... Demi Moore—give me that gown !!!! Maybe just two shades darker for moi.
Penelope Cruz and Donna Karan's dusty red gown were a match … Thought about getting a piece of red velvet cake today.
And last but not least... Armani Prive could not have been prouder to have Jennifer Lopez don her swagg with last night's gown.
Again there are looks for one and all... most importantly: find the one for you, feel comfortable and put your best foot forward… even if it is in a Jimmy Choo for an hour or two.
A demain,
Janice
