Oscar 2011 Fashion Recap: Best, Worst, and Everything in Between

Well I must say that I think Reese Witherspoon, Anne Hathaway, & Mila Kunis looked FAN-TASTIC! Very Oscar ready, elegant and looking absolutley gorgeous. I think that Angelina Jolie, Scarlet Johansen & Helena Carter looked just plain OLD. Old fashioned, dull and outdated. But overall it was nice to see to host (regardless of what everyone had to say about John Franco) actually host an awards shows with better taste then recent events.

No slave to fashion, I do totally love the "best/worst" dressed lists of the awards shows. I think the category "worst hair dye" should be added!

Thanks for making it easier for us to decide on which stands out.. Reese's look is simply gorgeous. After all, she doesn't need too much to look pretty..

For the red group, I like Sandra's (because it fits her body type) and of course, Anne Hathaway's, because she always knows what looks great on her.

Although, yes, the green-and-black combo isn't too original anymore. I've seen it on Angie and lifo.com.

I have to say, orange is my favorite color. So to see Jennifer Hudson totally owning it made my fashion night. She looked so stunning in that dress, and I just wanted to run out and find something, anything in that juicy tangerine to match!

In the "what dress would I wear (and have the figure to wear it)" fantasy, I loved Gwyneth and Cate's gowns. Reese's was like a black tie take on Belle de Jour - and I loved the ponytail.

I lost count on Hathaway's wardrobe changes but that blue dress was great on camera. What was that material?

You and I have the same taste! My best-dressed were Halle, Gwyneth, Cate and Reese. I thought Cate B.'s dress was a stunning, fashion-forward confection and those who didn't like it, didn't "get" the couture-ness of it. I did not like Jennifer Hudson's dress at all -- it did not seem current at all, except for the color. Too much red overall. I loved Natalie Portman in Rodarte; hated ScarJo's bordello look. Worst dressed for me was Marisa Tomei -- the dress did not flatter her. Also Annette Bening looked too mother-of-the-bride for me.

I loved the bottom of Hilary's dress ...the gradient gray/purple feather thing was pretty ...and so true about Annette's boobs ...I'm still swooning from Warren's sweet words about her on the red carpet :)

I agree actually ...I LOVED Amy Adams dress ...and even the green glitz on her wrist, but the necklace threw the whole look off for me. She would have been in my top three had she not worn that necklace.

HA! I kind of thought the same thing about Reese's gown ...total 90's prom dress ...but overall, I think she looked lovely

I thought Gwyneth Paltrow looked like she was wearing an ironing board. Annette Bening's dress looked like a costume from Spiderman. Helen Mirren -- exquisite as always, and I loved Amy Adams's deep sapphire gown with the emerald jewelry.

..peopled liked Amy Adams in her sequined midnight blue dress, as well as the dame Helen Mirren (elegant and beautiful as always).

There was definitely some back and forth ( http://womensvoicesforchange.org/opening-post-wvfc... ) on the color for Jennifer Hudson's dress.

I'm pretty sure Reese's dress is a repurposed late 1990s prom gown. Seriously. I think my best friend wore it to homecoming. Not impressed with that one at all.

Looking at all of these just now (I didn't watch), I'd have to agree with the Gwynneth nod. My Grandma would disagree (OMG! TWO LOW CUT! SLIT TOO HIGH! TOO SHINY! WOE!), but that's okay.

Gwyneth's dress took the cake for me for sure, but Hilary Swank's (pew) feather-y number caught my eye here, although I didn't really notice it last night. Annette Bening's boobs were up too high.
