How cute was Anne Hathaway as host last night?? As for Mr. Franco, he was a little….off? OK, so I’m pretty sure he was hitting the ganja during commercial breaks. But they were both pretty adorable nevertheless. I also really loved the younger, hipper vibe of the awards and thought the night had some pretty special moments (OMGz, Trent Reznor won an Oscar!).
And now on to the good stuff! The fashion!
I was loving all the lavender on the red carpet, especially Cate Blanchett’s perfectly quirky gown with its bits of chartreuse beading. I though it was so perfect. I know a lot of people weren’t feeling it, but I so was. Then again, I’m pretty sure Cate can’t do any wrong. Mila looked absolutely stunning in her sexy, yet demure number and her bestie, Natalie Portman was wearing a darker shade of purple that was equally gorgeous. Anne Hathaway looked so old Hollywood glam in her show-stopping red gown, and finally Gwyneth looked like a modern day Oscar statuette herself in that beautiful slinky gold gown. Pure perfection, ladies!
Not many on my worst dressed list this year, but these two had enough ugly to fill 10 slots. Oh, Nicole Kidman, why. The dress kind of reminds me of long weekends in Pompano Beach as a child in cheap Ramada Inn’s. I swear this dress has the same pattern as those terrible bath towels. No, no, and no. And as for you, Marisa. I just have two words: Jessica McClintock and possibly another two: Senior Prom.
Also, another trend I noticed that I didn’t dig: men sans grooming. I saw so many hot men that seemingly forgot to shave for one of the biggest nights in Hollywood (I’m looking at you, Christian Bale). Don’t get me wrong, I love facial hair. I just believe it has to be groomed appropriately. Boys, just look to Hugh Jackman for reference. Please and thank you.
So who do you think took the titles of best and worst dressed? Let me know in the comments if you agreed with me or disagreed!

I absolutely loved Mila’s. I really liked Halle Berry’s too!
I agree with you on the uglies.
Sadly I fell asleep about halfway through so I didn’t get to see all of Anne’s changes. 🙁

I pretty much totally agree with your assessment 🙂 I also had much love for Cate Blanchett’s dress. I thought it was perfectly feminine and delicate – just right for her.

Our party picked top 5 and on each of our lists were Mila Kunis and Hailee Steinfeld. My personal favorite was Michelle Williams.
I definitely liked a lot of Anne’s dresses during the show better than her red carpet dress. Same with Mandy Moore and Florence Welch.

Agree with you all!
I actually had way more on my best dressed this year, which is a rarity. Proud that all the starlets (& their stylists) did me proud!
My favorite Anne costume change was the one shouldered fringe number. Le sigh!

Can you imagine the stress that Rachel Zoe had getting Anne all those gowns? She was always a nut-job during awards season + she’s about ready to pop!
Meli says
I was thinking about that the entire time!
