Top Priority: Oscars (Fashion Fails)

Hey everybody, sorry I've been MIA for so long. I've been finishing applying to school, quitting my job, trying to get another job, et al.  But now I'm here and I want to talk about the Oscars.

First, let me say that I don't really care about the movies and what they won.  I haven't actually seen 12 Years A Slave but I trust it was great.  Also, congrats Matt and Jared, you guys are awesome.  Cate, you are my once and future hero.  Lupita, you are quickly becoming on of my favorite people.  Good job everybody. 

Okay let's talk dresses.

Anne Hathaway in Gucci
No.  If you're going to lose a bunch of weight, dress so it looks like you've lost a bunch of weight.  What's with the broken mirror look? No.



Cate Blanchett in Aarmani Privé
I love Cate so much but she's killing me this year.  Everyone loves this dress and I can't stand it.  And I love the nude look and everything but her skin is so fair that she would look better in something with more contrast.  Plus what's on it? Not into it.



Angelina Jolie in Elie Saab
I love Angelina.  Everyone does.  And normally she looks incredible.  And normally she wears black and it's kind of predictable but she's so hot no one says anything because she always looks good.  But this year she's mixing it up and wearing whatever this is.  Long sleeve with an elastic waistband? Is that what's happening here?  Hate it.



Amy Adams in Gucci
She looks okay but she bores me.  We get it, you like purple.  Try something new.



Emma Watson in Vera Wang
Dude you're young and hot.  This skirt and top combo (who does that?) is a SNOOZE.



Anna Kendrick in J. Mendel
Anna Kendrick poses an issue for me because I adore her.  I think she's so cute and an underrated actress, but she cannot dress to save her life.  It's ridiculous.  She is so horrible at putting clothes on her body and looking good.  Better luck next time.



Kristen Chenoweth in Roberto Cavalli
Who the hell in Kristen Chenoweth and why is she famous and why is she wearing this?  It's a little Cleopatra-esque which is cool but it looks like she matched her awful hair to her dress and that's not cute. 



Viola Davis by Escada
Nope.



Julia Roberts by Givenchy
I want to like it.  I do.  I love Julia Roberts (who doesn't?) and although I'm the only one, I loved August: Osage County.  I really, really wanted her to look good.  But I think it's the weird lace neckline and the fact that if you're going to do peplum, the bottom half of your dress has to complement it.



Kerry Washington by Jason Wu
I'm pretty upset with Kerry right now because I'm pretty sure she went into my room Saturday night and stole my sheet and wore it to the Oscars.



Naomi Watts in Calvin Klein
One thing I admire about Naomi Watts is that her dresses always match her personality.  They are both fantastically boring.  And sometimes she looks really good.  But after a while it's like, come on.  Congrats, Naomi Watts, on wearing the same dress you've worn for the last 10 years. 



Jada Pinkett-Smith by Versace
She looks like a man.  And I love that normally but like, it's the Oscars.  If you have broad manly shoulders, don't wear a dress that's going to show it off when you're trying to be cute and feminine with your baby pink dress.  And it's the f-cking Acadmy Awards, do your hair.  You've been famous for a long time, you know how this works.

Top Priority: Golden Globes (Fashion Successes)

Because I've been so negative, I feel the overwhelming urge to show you all I'm a good kind person who gives credit where credit is due.  So here we go, the Golden Globes' best dressed.


Amy Adams in Valentino
I have to hand it to Amy Adams, she looks good.  Because I hate her that's the nicest thing I can say so that's it.




Lupita Nyong'o in Ralph Lauren
I don't know who this is but she's f-ing gorgeous.  Like stunningly beautiful.




Taylor Schilling in Carolina Herrera
This dress totally looks like Keira Knightley's dress from Atonement.  Seriously, look.




Kerry Washington in Balenciaga
This is how to be pregnant and absolutely flawless on the red carpet.  Good job Kerry.




Amy Poehler in Stella McCartney
Amy always keeps it simple and I like that.  She's no spring chicken and wearing dumb stuff is for your 20s.  You keep me grounded, Amy!




Cate Blanchett in Armani Prive
Are you kidding me? Could she be more perfect?




Lena Dunham in Zac Posen
I don't love the yellow.  The only person who's really rocked this color was Claire Danes but the fit and style look really good on her and she seems to finally be learning how to dress.  Thank God.




Emilia Clarke in Proenza Schouler
SEXYYYYY




Jessica Chastain in Givenchy
It's Black Swan meets Red Carpet and I'm so into it.  But fix your hair, darling, you look like you've been riding in a convertible.




Sarah Paulson in Marchesa
Absolutely beautiful.  She looks like a fairy princess, and I mean that in the nicest way possible.




Helen Mirren in Jenny Packham
It's so unfair how perfect she is.  Just wear a bikini, Helen Mirren.




Margot Robbie in Gucci
Simple and stunning and classic.  Love it.




Kate Mara in J. Mendel
It's a little outer space-y but she really does look amazing.  The fit of this dress + cleavage + hair + that face knocked this dress out of the park.




Julie Delpy in Romona Keveza
So tasteful and subtle, one of my favorites.




Michelle Dockery in Oscar De La Renta
There are no words.  The silhouette of this dress brings tears to my eyes.

 


Emma Roberts in Lanvin
I hate Emma Roberts so it's hard for me to say this but she looks absolutely beautiful.  Shut up, Emma Roberts.




Monica Potter in Romona Keveza
Maybe this dress isn't pretty at all and I just want Monica Potter to be my mom.  Who can say? Either way, I love it.

 
 
 
Naomi Watts in Tom Ford
Speechless.  Naomi also managed to make up for Hayden (what kind of name is that?) tarnishing Tom Ford's good name. 
 







And my Top 3 favorite dresses from the 2014 Golden Globes are as follows...



3. Amber Heard in Versace
I don't know what it is about this dress really.  It's just beautiful and she's beautiful and I am in love with this look.  Plus look at her legs.  Impressive.




 2. Robin Wright in Reem Acra
Nobody beats Robin Wright at anything.  Nobody.

 



1. Lizzy Caplan in Emilio Pucci
Except Lizzy Caplan.  Lizzy Caplan beat Robin Wright.
