The Oscars!

Did you catch the Oscars last night? Overall, I loved the old Hollywood feel that a lot of actresses went for. But honestly, I felt the red carpet was lacking in blow-you-away dresses. I actually saw a number of non-A-list attendees in the background whose dresses looked really intriguing and I kept wishing a camera would zoom in on them. Unfortunately, there's no way to know who in the world they were.

There were a few standouts, though! Favorites:

Amanda Seyfried: Loved the gray-lavender color plus the gold accents, along with the train.

Stacy Keibler: Her entire look just worked so well -- very 20's. The cut of the dress was impeccable. 

Jennifer Lawrence: At first, I wrote her dress off as boring, but the more I looked at it, the more I liked it. The color, texture, and that a-mazing skirt won me over in the end. It's Dior, after all!

Samantha Barks: I tend to like her dress choices in general... this one was just simple and awesome. (Her necklace is also awesome.) Plus, the teal dress she wore for her performance during the actual show was also stunning. Double win on her part.


Least favorites:

Naomi Watts: It's like the Jetsons meets wacko ice skating outfit. (Thanks to Lydia & Janet for the ice skating reference.)

Anne Hathaway: She pulled a Taylor Swift and picked a dress worthy of a middle school dance in 1999. As my friends Jessica & Erin aptly put it, it's just begging for a goth choker and a spiky up-do with chopsticks in it.

Jennifer Garner: While the color worked really well for her, all I saw was her being attacked by a purple sea slug, from behind.

Also, the question haunting everyone who watched last night: Did Kristen Stewart even brush her hair before arriving at the red carpet?

I want to know your best & worst picks!
