Fashion Winners @ the Oscars*

It was slim pickings at this years Academy Awards, I wasn't totally blown away by anyone this year!  The Fashion Police on E! voted Jennifer Lawrance best dressed, and I have to disagree. I loved the backwards necklace {I've always loved that style} but I thought her dress was too bridal, not a dress for an Oscar winner, if it was a difference colour....maybe black I think it would have been stunning.

Here are my top 5 picks for best dressed at the Oscars!*

Stacy Keibler always stunning....very statuesque!

Designer, Naeem Khan

 

I loved loved loved the back of this dress....! You don't even realize shes pregnant until she turns sideways...

She looks stunning!

Jenna Dewan Tatum in Rachael Roy

Naomi Watts amazing in metallic sparkle Armani Prive.

I love the cut of the top of the dress very flattering on her

Charlize Theron beautiful in Dior.

My favorite is the sparkle on the Peplum

Amy Adams in Darren Le Gallo

To me, this is what an Oscar winner/nominee should wear

and the nominees are....

The 2012 Academy Award Nominees were announced early this morning!  I don't know about you, but I anticipate this every year! I love the Oscars for so many reasons! Obviously the red carpet fashion is the #1 reason I watch, but I love the intensity of it all....hoping your favorite movie, actor or actress will win! The speeches I can take or leave! For the past few years my friends and I have had Oscar parties. We print off the nominee list...make our picks prior to the show...and pool some money together! Whoever has the most correct at the end of the show wins! {I won last year!} It makes the show 100 times more interesting! Now that the nominees are out, I have to get renting some movies so I can accurately make my picks...!
