Oscar Dress Report 2021

[crystalcazzie]

This was a bit trickier this year cos I didn't have such strong feelings about a lot of the dresses. And I feel like I could still change my mind over a couple, so it's probably best I post this now before I do just that...

Oscar Dress Report:


Ones I Liked

Chloe Zhao



You know, I really wouldn't have thought I'd like this, but something about the Native American Princess with white trainers look really works for her.

~*~

Emerald Fennell



So floaty and pretty.

~*~

Laura Dern



Dress explosion! But I like it.

~*~

Maria Bakalova



Can't go wrong with a princess dress.

~*~

Marlee Matlin



Those sleeves look so impractical but I still love it.

~*~

Viola Davis



I wasn't sure about this at first, but the more I look at it the more I like the papercutting craft look of it.

~*~

Yuh-Jung Youn



Simple. Elegant. And it has pockets. What more could you want?

~*~



Ones I'm Not Sure About

Amanda Seyfried



The skirt's ok, but the ruffles at the top look very weird.

~*~

Angela Bassett



I assume she's going swimming later and that's why she's wearing giant arm bands.

~*~

Carey Mulligan



Again the skirt is nice, but I cannot approve of a boob tube at the Oscars.

~*~

Glenn Close



It almost looks good, but it's very boxy and feels like the wrong length somehow.

~*~

Olivia Colman



I genuinely cannot decide if I really like this dress or if I think it's a frumpy mess. I think the angle matters.

~*~

Reese Witherspoon



I feel like I like the dress itself, but the strap and belt look all wrong.

~*~

Regina King



I like the butterfly shoulders. I'm not convinced by the rest of it though. It feels off somehow.

~*~



Ones I Didn't Like

Andra Day



This looks like beachwear. Metal beachwear, but still.

~*~

Halle Berry



Lose the prolapse bow at the front and maybe I'll reconsider.

~*~

H.E.R.



I like the cape idea. I hate the sheer trousers. If it actually was a (non-sheer) dress I think I'd probably like it.

~*~

Renee Zellweger



You can't just wear a towel to the Oscars. Come on, Renee.

~*~

Rita Moreno



Not really a fan of the skirt. Or the giant fleecy cardigan.

~*~

Vanessa Kirby



It's so boring.

~*~

Zendaya



Why are these ab cut out dresses a thing and how can we make them stop?

~*~


And my Not a Dress of the night:


Leslie Odom, Jr



If you're going to the Oscars, why not go dressed as an Oscar? Didn't help him win though.
