2010 Academy Awards - My Hits, Misses & Middlings

Well the Oscars last night has definately give fuel to my inner "sit on the couch & judge people" demon.

Heres my list of who I loved, who I didn't & who i'm on the fence about.


Loved:

Sandra Bullock - Best actress & best dressed in one night! So perfect I cannot find a single flaw (my judgy demon is raging). Her Marchesa Gown is simply stunning. Her hair, straight with a soft curl at the end, her make up was beautiful with a sofly defined eye, lots of attention to the lashes & a pop of coral pink of the lips.







Loved:

Demi Moore - In this nude Atelier Versace gown, is perfection. I just love this dress, its soo pretty & feminine. Hair & jewlery are fab but make up is very much lacking, I won't post the close ups but her skin looks tired & the eye make up aint so great, she could definately have done with a bit of colour brighten her complexion against this nude dress.




Loved:

Miley Cyrus - Her Jenny Packham gown was stunning on her, so appropiate
for her age, playful yet elegant. Maybe a little small on top but I think she pulls it off. Her hair was gorgeous, puled back softly & her make up was stunnng. Big false lashes gave her eyes great definition, perfect skin & a nude pinky lip. Top all that with the appropriate bling & she was definately a winner in the style category.





Loved

Nicole Richie - For taking a risk with something different, it really paid off.
Nicole seems to be channeling 60's icons here & it definately has a hint of Edie Sedgewick.
The dress is a floor length Reem Arca in a shimmering gun metal colour.
The hair is pulled into a tight high bun. The make up is probably the boldest thing on the red carpet last night, in shade s of black & striking white with heavy winged liner with a nude lip. This definately gets my favourite make up of the night, kudos Ms Richies make up artist




I didn't Love

Charlize Theron - Normally perfect, she took a risk last night
in a "my boobs are here dress", it didn't pay off.
She looks beautiful as always & her hair & make up are subltle & polished but unfortunately the swirling flower boobs ensure that nobodys looking at her head.




Also not loving:

Vera Farmiga - here is a classic example of clashing tastes,
this Marchesa dress is being her alded as best dressed by some, to me, well it kinda looks like
a large piece of frilly red seaweed. Im just not loving it.









I'm on the fence about:


Kristen Stewart - Looking a little less goth than usual in this stunning Monique Lhullier. However I feel kinda, like she's still trying on the dress, like, yes it gorgeous, imaging what it'll be like when you've your hair make up & jewelery on. Her look just seems very unfinished to me, which is a pity because she could have been amazing in this.


Also (seeing as this is a make up blog) Congratulation go to Mindy Hall for winning best make up for Star Trek
