The inevitable disasters appeared, as usual, on the Red Carpet in preparation of the 83rd Academy Awards. Or Oscars, to you and me.
Now I watched the coverage on E!, over here in the UK, and followed all the commentary, pictures and horrific slagging-off on Twitter. I apologise in advance, because this blog is going to be LONG.
Screw the Awards, the outfits are what makes the Oscars great. There's been some dreadful things worn in the past, but tonight seemed to be the exception to the rule - mainly. There were the odd one or two that would have looked nicer in a bin liner.
Well, it'd be rude not to start with tonight's host. Anne Hathaway, possibly the most gorgeous woman in Hollywood, looked stunning in a red Valentino dress, on the far left of the picture below. But I'd have liked a bit of leg, so a shorter on-the-knee cocktail dress would have been greatly appreciated. Remember that for next year, Anne.
Mila Kunis, who was at the Awards to represent her film 'Black Swan', looked amazing in a lilac Elie Saab gown, and she's in the middle. There was some lovely lace touches to the dress, mainly around the boobs and arms, and it just seemed a lovely touch to the whole piece. Her hair looks amazing too. She'd get it.
Or how about Hailee Steinfeld? The 14-year-old actress is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her debut performance in 'True Grit'. She helped design her one-of-a-kind Marchesa dress, and it helps her look sleek and gorgeous, whilst still keeping her youthfulness. What a lovely story... She's on the far right.
Then we have Celine Dion. Apparently she's just had twins... You wouldn't know. If you cut her face out, she looks stunning in Armani. Just an amazing dress. Far left.
And then my favourite so far - Sandra Bullock in Vera Wang. Bright red, utterly stunning. Mainly because it's VW. But an incredible, incredible design. She's in the middle. Obvs.
Jennifer Hudson is presenting an award this evening, and is wearing a deep orange Versace gown, that is just gorgeous. Shows off her new figure perfectly, and looks incredible. That's the far right.
And so much is expected from Natalie Portman. Her performance in 'Black Swan' has had film critics wetting themselves in the middle of cinemas. And her dress surpasses that. Although pregnant, she pulls off a beautiful purple Rotarde dress with ease. It's on the left for you.
Okay, it's time for a disaster. Nicole Kidman looks dreadful in white Dior. The dress is layered and jewelled, but makes it look like she weighs a ton. She looks a bit ill too - give her a spray tan someone. But which is which? Her husband Keith Urban is looking more and more like her every day. Get a haircut. She's in the middle.
And finally, the one everyone's talking about, and the one everyone loves. Cate Blanchett is wearing Givenchy, with beading all around the bodice and the shoulders. Quite incredible. The use of bright colours in the neon yellow, but the understated grey gives her a chic, sophisticated look. Just an amazing 'work of art', rather than a dress. On the right.
So, there we go. 8 amazing, and one... not-so. Enjoy the Oscars, I'm sure I'll mention them at some point tomorrow! Oh, and if anyone asks, Anne Hathaway is mine. MINE.
