Academy Awards 2015 Best and Worst Dressed

So something magical happened yesterday night, something that left us all with our noses glued to our tv screens at quite impossible hours, I’m talking about the Oscars, the most important and prestigious award show of the season! And if you’re not a movie maniac, we can understand you, neither were we thrillingly waiting for the actual prizes to be delivered, what all of us fashionistas were waiting for was the biggest, most star studded, most incredible red carpet of the season – if not of the year! The best moment to recognize new style icons, or diss inevitably some starstruck divas in weird outfits. Which ever was your intention watching the Oscars red carpet yesterday night, we know why you’re here today, so let’s get stared, this is going to be a crazy ride!

87th Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals
Karolina Kurkova in Marchesa

Is this ever fair? I mean we all already know that Karolina and Marchesa are a deadly duo since last year Met Gala! This year Karolina nails it again, I’m pretty sure that if you look up the dictionary under the term stunner you’ll find this image… but again, is this even fair?!
Style Level: Marchesa Mermaid.

Margot Robbie in Saint Laurent

I mean some people just have all the luck! After achieving the dream of tree generations of girls and being escorted on the red carpet by Leo Dicaprio last year, this edition Margot shows that she can be the center of the attention even without the most dreamy actor by her side. Girl power. Just love it. Style Level: Black Widow Baby.

Lupita Nyong’o in Calvin Klein Collection

Shout out to Lupita’s Calvin Klein gown made with 6.000 pearls! Even if all I could think about were prays that her dress did not disintegrate in a waterfall of pearls in front of the international jet set… that would have been quite a show though! Anyways, this dress is stunning, almost as lovely as the girl in it! Thumbs up! Style Level: Living Jewel.

Rosamund Pike in Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci

If Lupita was a walking tiara, Rosamund is an ambulant bouquet of roses, and frankly I love it! This dress is stunning and makes her look incredible! Where can I order one? Can I sell my kidney to have it? Style Level: American Beauty.

Hanna Bagshawe and Eddie Redmayne in Alexander McQueen

Now I had to mention these two, these two are the cutest, chicest, most adorable newlywed couple I’ve ever seen! They even are slightly coordinated but not in a weird way, I mean how can I get my boyfriend to dress like Eddie? And how do I make him win an Oscar? Leave suggestions in the comments please! Style Level: Me Too!

Jennifer Lopez in Elie Saab Couture

Now I know this may seem controversial, I know this is a lovely dress in a lovely shade and that I would like to wear it on my wedding day. BUT I’m going on with my crusade, a crusade to not have to see JLo breasts every.single.red carpet. You can join the petition and together we can win the cause. Style Level: STOPITSTOPITSTOPIT.

Jared Leto Givenchy

I already know that this one too will be controversial, but I had to do it, in the name of style and good taste, JARED YOU CANNOT WEAR A BESPOKE IN POWDERY LAVENDER! Even if you are you Jared, you cannot. I’m sorry, you can cry on my shoulder, it’s ok, it’s ok… Style Level: I’m Not Even Talking About Those Shoes.

Naomi Watts in Armani Privé

 Now I don’t want to question Armani sense of style, but I do want to judge Naomi’s decision making process. This dress looks like a bricks-made gown. I’ll let the idea sink in for a few seconds. A BRICKS WALL. “Oh Naomi, what style would you like to embrace on the Oscars red carpet?” “Oh nothing special really, just a BRICKS WALL”.
Style Level: Do I Have to Say It Again?

Nicole Kidman in Louis Vuitton

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? NO! It’s a Ferrero Rocher! Wait what? Oh! No no, sorry, ahah, this is awkward, it’s just Nicole Kidman gently demonstrating that neither a goddess-like woman can wear whatever she wants and that sometimes it’s smarter to leave that weird-looking sequins gown in your closet, where it belongs… Style Level: Awkwardness Queen.

WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? Style Level: WHY?

And finally Marion, embracing Beyoncé’s motto: “If you like it and you want it put a black elastic right under your booty”. Wait, what do you mean the song was not like that?
Style Level: The Devil Is In The Details, And In The Black Elastics.
