Sooo I completely forgot about the Oscars post I was gonna do whoops! God I am horrible at this blog thing haha! Well hopefully I'll get better at it :p ...anyway I'll get onto the point of this post.
This year we saw mostly neutral colours at the Oscars, I don't know why that is especially since bright colours have been very in especially with the colour of the year being Radiant Orchid. There were only a handful of celebrities who chose a colourful dress and they probably stood out the most to me as I LOVEE colour. Another trend was capes and shawls from Camilla Alves and Kate Hudson to Jada Pinket Smith and Lady Gaga and I have to say they def worked for me (for the most part..I'm looking at you Penelope). Now lets get to the dresses!
Here are some of the my top 10 best dressed of the evening..
Lupita Nyong'o in a custom Prada gown
Christine Teigen in a Monique Lhuillier gown
Charlize Theron in a a gorgeous black Dior gown
Kate Hudson in a Jordan Strauss Gown (loved the padded shoulder cape!)
Camilla Alves in a Gabriela Cadena gown (my favourite of the night)
Portia de Rossi in a jaw dropping Naeem Khan gown
Cate Blanchett in Armani (she can do no wrong)
Mommy to be Olivia Wilde in this gorgeous Valentino gown (I had to show the back as well because the dress would not be complete without it)
Jennifer Lawrence (looking as gorgeous as ever) in a bright orange Dior gown
Pink in my fav Elie Saab
And now for the Worst dressed...
Penelope Cruz in Giambattista Valli ..this wasn't my favourite look, it didn't really flatter Penelope's figure at all and the added shawl was visibly annoying as she had to keep adjusting it.
Kerry Washington in Jason Wu.. Although I loved the colour and thought it suited her skin tone I just did not like the model of the dress, it looked like a wrinkled satin bed sheet. Her Golden Globes dress on the other hand was wayyyy better!
Liza Minneli.. Don't know who the designer is but I didn't enjoy this suit anyway. I love blue and it has been my favourite colour to wear for the past year but this is just a little to extreme for me. If the pants were a different colour she might have been able to pull it off.
Whoopi Goldberg ... I could not find the designer of this outfit ..probably for the better because this is just...as Consuela would say...No...No...
Elsa Pataky in Elie Saab, although I love Elie Saab designs this was not my favourite. It is very unflattering and the colour..just no. Both Kerry and Elsa should have taken some pointers from Olivia
Veerle Baetens in Haider Ackermann ...All I have to say is...why?... just why..
Anna Kendrick in J. Mendel... I love this girl, so it makes me so sad to have to put her on the worst dressed list. There was just wayy too much going on here that it just looked like a mess.
Although there were many gorgeously dressed ladies tonight, they couldn't all make it on my top 10 list so here are some other great dresses of the night that didn't make the top 10 but are nevertheless still amazing

Bete Midler in a Reem Acra gown (she rocked this dress!)
Emma Watson in Vera Wang
Laura Dern in a Alberta Ferretti gown
Jessica Biel in Chanel
Jada Pinket Smith in Versace
