As far as we are concerned, “The Devil Wears Prada” should have swept all
Academy Award categories.
What did we hope to see at the Oscars? Lots of jewelry with conflict-free
diamonds (in deference to “Blood Diamond”) fabulous ensembles a la
“Dreamgirls” and hair better than Helen Mirren wore in “The Queen.” We
were not disappointed.
Kate Winslet oscar dresses 2007
•Trend: Bad color.
Jessica Biel, in magenta Oscar de la Renta, accented her gown with a plain
black belt and side cleavage. It was not up to Oscar-level dress standards or
her past fashion choices. Jada Pinkett Smith wore a French’s Mustard yellow
gown by Carolina Herrera that was stretched across her middle so tightly it
looked painful. And Celine Dion came in this year’s ugliest shade of green.
•Trend: Black and black/indigo blue color combinations.
Presenter Maggie Gyllenhaal looked postpartum perfect in an elegant black and
eggplant sequin one-shoulder gown. Portia de Rossi wore a black and dark blue
halter-top gown with not one, but two fabulous diamond bracelets. And Rinko
Kikuchi made it up to us in a strapless black lace number that was a
showstopper.
The Oscar dresses losers
•Penelope Cruz: Just as she did at the Golden Globes, Cruz wore
another ruffled disaster, this one by Versace. She redeemed herself with a pair
of giant flowered diamond earrings.
•Catherine Deneuve: Not the French fashion icon we expected. She
wore an unflattering, plain black sleeveless sheathe that showed, rather than
disguised, her larger figure.
•Jennifer Hudson: What was that cropped jacket thing she was
wearing? It looked like she threw on the tinfoil wrapper from a TV dinner.
•Beyoncé: She disappointed us in a sea foam green gown with a
floral embellished strap that looked as if it had come from Jessica McClintock.
•Nicole Kidman: She chose a bright red dress with a huge bow that
snaked around her neck. Nic, you’re no one’s gift wrapped up in that thing.
•Gwyneth Paltrow: Her Campbell’s tomato soup-colored dress by Zac
Posen was not mmm-mmm-good (image below the page).
The Oscar dresses winners
•Jennifer Lopez: She was perfection in a Grecian-inspired
empire-waist silver dress by Marchesa with a boat neck jeweled chained collar.
(see oscar picture below the page)
•Rachel Weisz (see oscar dresses below this page): The stunner’s Vera Wang champagne-hued silk
charmeuse strapless gown was one of our favorites. She paired her dress with an
eye-popping Cartier diamond medallion that complemented the oscar
jewels sewn into the
bodice and bottom of her gown.
•Cate Blanchett: She absolutely left us babbling in a slinky,
shimmery silver one-shoulder gown by Giorgio Armani Prive.
We disagree
•Cameron Diaz: Judie thought she looked as if she had been wrapped
in a white napkin by an Origami expert. Evelinda thinks Diaz is the biggest
risk-taker on the red carpet, and this year she hit it right. (image below the
page)
•Finally, Anne Hathaway was wearing a white Valentino dress with a
huge black bow that did not wow us, but to quote her, she put on “every single
diamond I could find.” We love that philosophy, Prada girl.
