  • The Oscars 2009: Kate Winslet
    Kate Winslet showed up to the Oscars in a steel grey Atelier Yves Saint Laurent by Stefano Pilati asymmetric evening gown with embroidered black silk tulle and a black satin evening pochette. She glistened in a multi-cut diamond bracelet, diamond pear shaped cluster earrings and a diamond ring all courtesy of Chopard. The verdict? Well, this one is going to be like...

  • The Oscars 2009: Amanda Seyfried
    After staying up all night to try and review all the outfits, I passed out at 4am just as I got to Amanda Seyfried. Well what can I say? I don’t know why, but I do like this dress. I shouldn’t…she’s practically drowning in Valentino couture, and I’m tired of bows, but….there is something sassy and sexy about the outfit. Accessories wise,...

  • The Oscars 2009: Jessica Biel
    Extra fabric oozing from a dress doesn’t work at the best of times and it didn’t do Jessica Biel any favours this time. Who can we blame for this outfit? Prada. Biel fits in well with the rest of the stars in terms of the colour -neutral colours have dominated the red carpet this year – but it’s not a great look for the actress. On a more positive note, the accessories...

  • The Oscars 2009: Beyonce Knowles
    My eyes! Seriously, I’ve lost the will with Beyonce. She has a fantastic figure which somewhat saves her in this dress but the print is tacky and a complete eyesore. I’ve searched high and low to find out who designed this dress and I can only imagine that it’s the House of Dereon. Awful.

  • The Oscars 2009: Sarah Jessica Parker
    Sarah Jessica Parker rarely does any wrong in my eyes fashion wise and the Oscars were no exception. SJP looks fabulous in this strapless, barely mint Dior Couture. She’s notorious for choosing Cinderella-esque gowns so are we surprised by her choice for the night? Hardly!

  • The Oscars 2009: Penelope Cruz
    So as I write this Penelope Cruz just took home the award for Best Supporting Actress. We loved her in Vicky Cristina Barcelona but we’re not sure it was worth an Oscar. Her dress however…now that’s another matter. Her outfit may look similar to SJP’s dress, but the fact that its vintage Balmain gives her double fashion brownie points. Just look at the detail...

  • The Oscars 2009: Heidi Klum
    Heidi was all about the accessories. Stacked bangles and statement earrings threatened to overshadow her fiery red RM by Roland Mouret gown. Not a fan of the jewels, but the dress and its sexy split is hot. While roaming around NY fashion week, I bumped into Heidi as she was on her way to a show and I can vouch for her beauty. She looks fab in the flesh.

  • The Oscars 2009: Freida Pinto
    Not the greatest look for Freida Pinto which is a shame because she’s pulled it out of the bag for all the award ceremonies leading up to the Oscars. The gorgeous actress opted for a one shouldered, long sleeved royal blue gown by John Galliano. Unfortunately the colour isn’t complimentary and the long sleeve adds too much “frump” to the dress. Such a shame…

  • The Oscars 2009: Vanessa Hudgens
    We knew someone had to do a hint of floral and had to wear red carpet favourite Marchesa. Vanessa Hudgens did both. While most Hollywood ladies opt for all out bling when they wear Marchesa, Vanessa chose a more toned down black fitted gown, embellished with a floral corsage and complete with a fishtail train. Not sure why, but we could easily picture Penelope Cruz in...
