I'm going to continue my critique today of the Oscar fashions as I wasn't able to cover all of it yesterday.  I hope you've enjoyed my comments so far, and I would love to hear from you to see if you agree or disagree with my choices of best & worst dressed.  I know there has been some controversy over some of the fashions with some 'experts' having completely opposing views!  But that as they, is the beauty of being able to speak your mind!  So, let me continue with some of the other celebrity fashions who walked the red carpet on Sunday.

I am a big fan of Penelope Cruz.  I think she is beautiful, classy & talented and she has worn some amazing dresses to a variety of events over the years.  However....I was not a fan of her dress on Sunday.  She chose a blue Armani dress, and while I liked the color, I did not think the dress was anything special.  In fact, I thought it was a little too princessy or frou-frou.  Sorry Penelope, I hate to do this but I just didn't like it!


Another celebrity I think is amazing is Natalie Portman.  Stunningly beautiful & incredibly talented, but the dress?  Sorry, but I did not like this red polka dot Christian Dior Vintage Couture dress.  It was just very....well, ordinary and did not do justice to this incredibly beautiful lady!



Now, Meryl Streep.....I love her, she is an amazing actress, but usually she gets the clothes completely wrong.  And when I first saw her gold lame Lanvin dress I thought "oh no, not again Meryl"!  But the more I've seen it on TV and in photographs I have to say it has grown on me!  Certainly it doesn't make my best dressed list, but it's not terrible.  It could have been fitted better, but overall she looked better than in the past.  So that's kind of good, right?




Cameron Diaz...I like her.  I think she's pretty and smart and funny and her fashion style can be creative and edgy.  That's the good news!  I did not like this dress!  The Gucci white dress for me was nothing special.  Pretty yes, but nothing to get excited about, and for the Oscars I think it should have been something special.



One that I did like was Bridesmaids actress Ellie Kemper in a rust(ish) strapless sequinned Armani Prive dress.  She looked beautiful and I love this color!  There were a few rust/coppery/bronze/gold dresses on display on Sunday and I love these colors.




Another one I loved was Glenn Close in Zac Posen!  She rocked this emerald green dress with tux style jacket.  She looks amazing for a mature woman and her hair and makeup were simple and appropriate.


Melissa McCarthy is one of my favorite ladies, but that dress!  Oh my, I'm sorry but it was just awful!  As you know I'm a huge fan of the curvy ladies, but this dress did nothing for her.  The color was okay, a pale nudish look, but the design did not flatter her curves.  I was disappointed as she has looked amazing all award season long.
