Oscar Red Carpet
The Oscar red carpet is truly a sight to behold. So many hits. So many misses. So many devilishly handsome men in tuxedos. I have absolutely NO idea what I’m talking about when it comes to fashion. Therefore, it makes total sense that I would create an Oscar red carpet gallery full of first-impression thoughts that went through my head as I watched last night. Of course, this was my favorite part, which technically had nothing to do with fashion other than Ryan Gosling is adorable. But the night did have some beautiful, charming, confusing, WHAT WERE YOUR THINKING wardrobe moments that we should discuss. Click on the first picture to open the gallery. Enjoy!
-
- Oh Alicia Vikander. You are too cute hugging your Oscar! I wish your skirt was as long as your whimsy.
-
- I love J-Law. I’m not sure why she wore a feather duster to the Academy Awards. The odds were not in her favor.
-
- Couple goals: Chrissy Teigen and John Legend
-
- Take that Ben Affleck.
-
- Rooney Mara is going for sexy Pilsbury Dough Boy. If you poke her exposed belly region, she’ll give you a sultry laugh.
-
- These were the exact curtains hanging in my childhood room. I never once thought to drape them around me, careful not to expose too much boob. You’re a genius Heidi!
-
- This is not Olivia Wilde. It’s the other Olivia. Looking FAB in orange! Who’s craving a cutie now?
-
- You work that leg, Rachel. WORK IT. And next time, don’t come to the Acadamey Awards wearing a nightgown.
-
- Jason Sudeikis is making that face because he has no idea why Olivia Wilde won’t let him wipe his mouth off on her napkin dress.
-
- Eddie Redmayne is crushing it in velvet. Ironically, the velvet isn’t crushed.
-
- Saoirse Ronan called my mom to see if she could borrow my dress from my 1997 formal at Baylor. Mom said yes. Sic ’em Bears.
-
- When Mama buys lace doilies, she places them around various tables in her “Victorian” room. Priyanka Chopra sews them together and walks the red carpet at the Academy Awards. To each her own.
-
- And the award for most Oscar-y dress goes to…Margot Robbie!
-
- I see you smiling at me Henry.
-
- Olivia Pope forgot her whip in the limo.
-
- Amy Poehler is wearing a dress patterned after the bathroom wallpaper at my local Pei Wei.
-
- Pharrell Williams is always prepared for anything. Even red carpet flooding.
-
- Cate Blanchett is a dream. An absolute dream.
-
- Why the boob wrinkles Reese? You were so close with that fabulous color!
-
- A red rose in place of a bow tie? I’ll allow it. But only becaues Jordan Castellano is greatness.
-
- Naomi Watts nailed this. It’s like an ’80s mermaid. My sweet spot. Liev’s not so bad himself.
-
- Darling, lovable, Kate. Rose would never approve of your listless hair or your dress by Hefty. I adore you. I’m thankful I’m not the only one who will look back at pictures and think, “Huh?”
-
- YOU’RE MY BOY CAPTAIN AMERICA!
-
- Emily Blunt is rocking her baby bump. She is missing the mark on her accessories though — Where is Jim Halpert?
-
- I have Kevin Hart’s exact same jacket, except my rhinestones are red. If it wasn’t a tap dancing costume or three sizes too small, I’d bust that out of the closet and wear it today.
-
- Pay no attention to the curtain dress opening up to expose pants. Keep your eyes on the hot guy from ‘Chicago Hope’ beside Lady GaGa and everything will be fine.
-
- Charlize is the master of the plunging neckline. And the big diamond between the boobs.
-
- You will always be my Batman, Michael Keaton.
-
- Robin, can you please bottle your shoulders and sell them on E-Bay? Thank you.
-
- The Weekend. Once again, he’s a man…not a group. He was nominated for best original song. I’d say he “Earned It.”
-
- Looking G-O-O-D Tom Hardy! You too Lady Mary! (PS: That’s not Lady Mary.)
-
- Best dressed of the night. Hands down.

Love the captions, Lincee!
Jacob Tremblay was adorable, too, in his tux and Star Wars socks. And I think Emily Blunt would’ve killed it if she went with a simple bun instead of the over-done side waves.
Pssst…Taylor Kinney is on Chicago Med, not Chicago Hope….
Actually it is Chicago Fire, but he sometimes guest stars on Chicago Med and Chicago PD.
Yes, Michael Keaton is and forever will be the true Batman. Loved Naomi Watts dress. My sis-in-law was critical of what Lady Gaga wore for the superbowl. My response then (applicable now) , “at least she’s all covered and it’s made of fabric”!
Robin Roberts wins best dressed for me. She is STUNNING.
I love that picture thing you did up there…not sure what to call it, but I appreciate it not bringing me to some site where I have to click through a bunch of webpages to see just 10 pictures but instead got to see all your fun comments on one page alone!
I’m not sure what got into stylists minds this year with all the listless hairstyles, but I do appreciate those simple, straight, and sleek styles that accompanied many of the ladies’ outfits.
Your comments on “Olivia Pope”‘s outfit was spot-on. Olivia Munn’s dress’ color was excellent – few people would try something and fewer would pull it off. And for the last Olivia, well…I think the better white dress of the night was not hers, but the one made of doilies. 🙂
Finally, I appreciated your comments on JLaw’s dress (though I really liked her hair…may copy it with my desperately-needed haircut coming up next month or so) as it did look very…just not right, but I did wonder, what did you think of Brie Larson’s dress? I loved it, though I wish she had a different hairstyle. I guess long, full, and wavy isn’t in these days?
And I, too, loved Naomi Watt’s dress!!! Beautiful!!!
