Best and Worst Dressed at the Oscars

40128-600

Sally Field, ageless AND age-appropriate in Valentino.

40811-600

Halle Berry, risk-taking perfection in Versace.

40712-600

Nicole Kidman shows the younger generation how to do glamour right in her Balenciaga gown.

40570-600

Jennifer Aniston couldn’t go wrong in this stunning red Valentino gown. This is what I would wear at the Oscars: something glamorous and appropriate yet comfortable and simple, so she gets my best-dressed award.

40505-600

Charlize, you’re just hot, and you’d look great in anything, but this Christian Dior gown was a fabulous choice.

Disappointingly, no major celebrities wore vintage at the Oscars Sunday night; it must be too seductive having designers like Valentino and Oscar de la Renta offering you free couture gowns. In lieu of my annual “Vintage at the Oscars” post, here are my picks for best and worst dressed:

40986-600

Kristen Stewart was a hot mess, and so was her ill-fitting Reem Acra gown.

40280-600

An attempt at glamour gone terribly wrong: Catherine Zeta-Jones in Zuhair Murad.

Anne+Hathaway+2013+Oscars+Prada+1

The color, the wrinkles…and don’t even get me started on the darts on this Prada dress that made Anne Hathaway’s nipples look like they were going to attack someone. Worst-dressed!

40856-600

Jennifer Garner’s Gucci gown did nothing for her body: her boobs were non-existent and her stomach stuck out.

40780-600

Sunrise Coigney looked inappropriate and just plain bad in this Zero + Maria Cornejo dress.
