Oscar Dresses
Feb. 27th, 2017 03:27 pmAnd now, the dress report:
Ones I Liked:
Viola Davis

I wasn't sure about this one to start with, but the colour really suits her and she looks so good.
~*~
Taraji P Henson

Again, I wasn't sure about the velvet, but she pulls it off perfectly and looks absolutely stunning.
~*~
Ruth Negga

I feel like I shouldn't like this dress, but I really do. Everything about it works but I don't know exactly why!
~*~
Nicole Kidman

On anyone else I'm sure this would look terrible. It takes a specific figure to be able to pull this off, and Nicole has that figure.
~*~
Octavia Spencer

In the running for my favourite dress of the evening. I love the style and the colour and it looks so good on her.
~*~
Kirsten Dunst

Classy. Elegant. I'd have preferred it without the train, but that's just me.
~*~
Ava duVernay

Sorry Octavia, I think this may be my favourite of the night. I love the style and the detail and she looks fantastic.
~*~
Auli'i Cravalho

I'm cheating by including her performance dress rather than her red carpet dress, but I thought it looked amazing.
Ones I'm Not Sure About
Scarlett Johansson

Even without the sheerness being visible, I'm still not sure it's a great look.
~*~
Salma Hayek

It's all a bit odd.
~*~
Leslie Mann

The exploding dress. I almost like this, but not quite enough. The hem is weird.
~*~
Michelle Williams

Meh. And strangely similar to Emma Roberts's dress.
~*~
Janelle Monae

I want to love it, and she looked fantastic walking out on stage, but there's just too much going on here.
~*~
Meryl Streep

Part of me thinks the trousers are cool, but an even bigger part of me hates them and wishes this had a proper full skirt cos then it would look amazing.
~*~
Halle Berry

I like the top more than the bottom.
~*~
Hailee Steinfeld

If only this dress was lined it would be a Dress I Liked no question. It looks pretty good in this photo, but I can't ignore how it looked on stage.
~*~
Isabelle Huppert

If she was cosplaying Princess Leia then this would be a good look.
~*~
Felicity Jones

I like this dress in theory, but it doesn't look that great on her.
~*~
Alicia Vikander

I want to like this dress, but it just doesn't work.
~*~
Emma Stone

The top looks good, and if it continued then I'd really like this dress, but I'm not a fan of the fringing.
~*~
Brie Larson

It doesn't look as bad as I thought it did on stage, but it's still weird.
Ones I Didn't Like
Priyanka Chopra

What even is this, Priyanka?
~*~
Naomie Harris

Apparently some people love this. I just think it looks ridiculous.
~*~
Jessica Biel

It looks like the fabric is really old and falling apart.
~*~
Dakota Johnson

I'm still wondering what museum she raided to find this dress.
~*~
Charlize Theron

This just looks heavy and ugly.
And finally, my Not a Dress this year has to go to...
Jackie Chan

And his Unicef pandas!
