Oscars 2014 Fashion

This Sunday, Ellen DeGeneres hosted the 86th annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles. One of the highlights of every show is the fashion. Who wore what and who looked damn good doing it. I picked my favorite and least favorite looks from this years Oscars and added them below.

Best Dressed

 Chrissy Teigen in Monique Lhullier

I thought that this look was so whimsical and fun. I think of Chrissy Teigen as a fun, carefree, have a sleepover and talk all night long girl. This dress perfectly fits that image I have of her.  I love the pockets and the hemline of this gown. 

 Portia deRossi Naeem Khan

When I saw pictures of this laser cut cream dress, I couldn't stop staring at it! I think the cut is amazing. I would like the dress better with a different design for the top. The shape is perfect, I would have like to see it with a brocade design up top, a redder lip and to lose the bracelet. Despite all the things I would have liked changed, it was still a great look.

Helen Lasichanh in  Lanvin

Obviously the first thing everyone noticed when Pharrell and his wife, Helen stepped on the red carpet is Pharrell's legs.  The shorts tux overshadowed how awesome Helen looked. I only wish that the jacket were a smidge longer, I'm not sure if it's her posture in this picture or what, but the length of the jacket seems to cut off her torso and make it look really short. I really like the ribbon tie and the whole 'Fly Colonel Sanders' look she's rocking.

I also can't leave this post without mentioning Pharrell. I don't really like the shorts tux on Pharrell, but I appreciate his breaking the rules and pushing the limits of fashion. He seems to take one thing and do it to the extreme, whether its shorts with a tux or an oversized hat. He takes risks and gets people talking.

 Jared Leto in Saint Laurent

Best dressed man at this years Oscars! A lot of men wore the white suit this year and I think Jared Leto did it the best. I like the red bow tie, the tiny peekaboo pocket square and his perfectly ombre'd hair. 

 Cate Blanchett in Armani Prive

Cate Blanchett was my best dressed female. This year the trend seemed to be shades of blush, most of which were encrusted with jewels or other embellishments.  Cate Blanchett is known to always look great for awards season and this dress put her over the top for me. I love the cap sleeves and the high neck, I loved how it was sheer without being sheer. I just really loved everything.

 Charlize Theron in Dior

j'adore Dior. j'adore Charlize.

 Jennifer Lawrence in Dior Couture

Jennifer Lawrence looks really great in column dresses. I loved the color on her and that sweet backwards necklace.

 Kate Hudson in Atelier Versace

This dressed fit Kate perfectly.  It looked like she was born with this dress on. That cape really makes this outfit interesting, I love the tiny shoulder pads, giving a slight military air.

Bette Midler in Reem Acra

Bette Midler looked really good in this dress. It's not exactly the most fashion forward or groundbreaking of designs.  This was just a really nice dress, with a really nice fit that created a really nice look.

Worst Dressed

 Ireland Baldwin in Burberry Prorsum

Nothing about this look works. The color is too dark, the dress is way too busy, her hair is too light and the shoes are horrible. This dress is way too old for a young girl like Ireland. I really think this dress looks like it was designed by a bunch of Forever 21 buyers.  Worst dressed.

Giuliana Rancic in  Paolo Sebastian

The dress wore her. She is such a petite girl and the dress was way to big for her to pull off. The skirt is too long and too full. I don't like the unfinished design of the top and the top and bottom seemed to not match. Plus, the color of the tulle skirt looks like dirty snow, and makes Giuliana's skin look orange.

 Anna Kendrick in J. Mendel

This is another dress with too much going on. I really hate the midriff section. It doesn't match the rest of the dress. Anna Kendrick is a short girl and this dress just weighs her down and makes her look her height.  really hate the fabric. This fabric should stick to can can dancers dresses. I also don't like her hair it looks like she went to the gym, got dressed and did her hair on the car ride over. 

 Kerry Washington in Jason Wu

Kerry Washington is normally a fashion standout at award shows and premieres. I think that the dress itself is nice, but I was expecting a lot more from Kerry Washington.  She is someone that could really work her pregnancy and come out showing how being pregnant doesn't mean you need to can't look good and showcase your style and baby bump. 

Margot Robbie in Saint Laurent by Heidi Slimane

Margot Robbie is a beautiful girl. You wouldn't have known that from this look. Margot Robbie really grabbed my attention in that white Gucci that she wore to the Golden Globes earlier this year. This is the exact opposite from that look. The dress has no shape, I really don't like the dark hair on her and she just looks like she is Wednesday Addams big sister.
