Oscars 2016: A few more just for kicks


If anyone says anything about Hannah and Eddie - you are on the wrong blog. They can do no wrong.  FLAWLESS PARTY ANIMALS! I love them. But not in a creepy way.


That speech. 'nuff said. PS - Leo I still love you.


Mindy Kaling looks like a red carpet super hero. And I am so down for that. Plus that blue looks BEAUTIFUL. Babetown. Population: Mindy Kaling.


The new Jessica Rabbit?



Olivia Wilde looks like her boobies are in bandages. Albeit Valentino bandages. But the thing is flip her around and the back of that frock is STUNNING. Just shame the front execution wasn't so.

Oscars 2015: Lupita Nyong'o, Solange, Patricia Arquette, and a whole bunch of other people including Oprah

 Lupita is someone whose style never wavers - and she never fails to try something risky. And 99.99 repeater sign % times. It pays off. I love this pearl encrusted dress. She looks amazing although I am guessing it would have translated better in person (i.e. photography doesn't deliver on the lustre-factor). 

Solange looks like she's become a Scientologist in a 'beam me up Scottie' kind of way. It took a lot for me to say that. Because I love Solange. 



Seriously - Patricia classic in black and white and I am still glowing after her speech. Nailed it. 


Nicky looks like my Crystal Barbie. Except Crystal didn't have that red ribbon off the Lindt bunny. And neither should Nicole. 


Love the colour. Meh about the dress. 



Really, really beautiful Oprah. 

Don't know who this is, but as an avid fan of frocks with pockets, I can relate. However I am not a fan of your Nana's valance re-styled into this dress with pockets. Little Bo Peep can loan you her crook and you can BYO sheep. 

Oscars 2015: Cate Blanchett, Marion Cotillard, Sienna Miller, Julianne Moore's teeth, Rosamund Pike,

As everyone knows Cate Blanchett and I are BFFs and I pretty well hang out with Cate and Andrew like ALL THE TIME. So I know this is really simple, but Cate looks incredible in this column dress. That turquoise is just BOOM! Perfect. I really dig on this. High fives Cate. 

I called it very early (over on Facebook), but I do love Marion Cotillard's dress. Personality, style, and it just looks so banging good on her. And the flip side is cool too, unpredictable and just the way I like it. 

 I didn't even recognise Sienna Miller tonight. I was just clicking through and then reversed to find out who it was. And just in case you missed it: It's SIENNA MILLER.

Julianne Moore - one of my all-time favourites, and here practicing her cheesiest smile for the whole world. If I was her dentist I'd give her a gold star. Actually I'd give her an Allen's Snake, but let's not even go there because that's how I came to have so many fillings. 



The Ice Princess in roaring hot red with the sexiest split. Super beautiful, but I feel like she ran out the door and forgot: 
a) a pedicure
b) her handbag
c) jewellery
d) her smile
e) all of the above


Yeah. Nah. Looks like the designer had to lay a lot of bricks to make this dress. 

 Why does Adam Levine look like a cartoon character?



Margot Robbie, really simple, really beautiful, and I love that she's gone back to blonde. Game over. 

Oscars 2015: Alexis Carrington Colby AKA Gwyneth Paltrow, Lady Gaga, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Chastain, Rita Ora, Eddie Redmayne


Gwynnie raided the 'Dynasty' wardrobe. I am totally in on the gag.

I love everything about this Gaga. I love everything. Except the red gloves that remind me of when I worked at McDonald's and had to don huge, oversized gloves for emptying the fry vat. Besides that. I love everything.


This might be better suited to someone attending the Tamworth Country Music Awards. And I can say that because I grew up in Tamworth. And I don't mean it as a compliment.


Apparently Jessica Chastain's bust is ready to party, while the rest of her body just wants to get back to business. 



I'm pretty sure Rita Ora stole the red carpet. And no one's going to be able to get it back. 

And then there was Eddie. I love Eddie. And I do love his inky blue tux. I know I said tuxedos bore me, but this one has piqued my interest. I'm into it Eddie! 

Oscars 2015:: Jennifer Aniston, Keira Knightley, Channing. Channing. Channing. Reese, J-Lo, Emma Stone

Traditionally, I am not a Jennifer Aniston fan. But I find myself really, really wanting to like this. But instead I feel like she has been to triage and been wrapped in a giant nude gauze bandage. Well at least it looks a little sparkly. AND PS GIRLFRIEND - how high up does that sheer section go?! YOWSERS!


Basically I am Keira Knightley's internet bodyguard - and if ANYONE says anything bad about her - I am going to throw a water bomb at you. Look at her. GODDESS! All salute, or curtsey, or do something to show your respect to this total mega-babe. 


WE INTERRUPT THIS BLOG POST TO BRING YOU: CHANNING TATUM. I want to Channing my Tatums. 

Right then. As you were.


Hell-oooooh Reese Witherspoon. Ain't no withering or dithering over this frock. Totally sublime, it doesn't matter if she's black or white, Reese nailed this old school glamour, and afterwards she can refashion it so she can work back as one of the waitstaff. 


No one told J-Lo this is not the Golden Globes. Ahem.



Yes Emma Stone. Yes. This is all flavours of brilliant.

Oscars 2014:: Kelly Osbourne, Scorsese, Naomi Watts, Gaga, Margot Robbie, and WOWOWOWOW!! Julie Delpy.

Kelly Osbourne is appearing in Mary Poppins. You didn't know this. Now you do. You heard it here first. 
Scorsese's suit is wow. Amazing. Ok who am I kidding? I don't give a toss about tuxedos. Once you've seen one piece of black fabric cut into a boring suit, you've seen all the boring bits of black fabric. 

Naomi Watts, to me, friends, feels a bit safe. You know me, I love some colour, I love some razzle. I love some pomp and circumstance. You look lovely. But - oh let's just jolly well fast forward. 
Gaga, oh la la. Gaga, oh la la. See what I did there? I can see why the papa-paparazzi are going berserk. Call up Alessandro, get him on the Telephone. There's no Bad Romance here. This is sheer red carpet magic. I know you see what I did there. And you liked it.
Margot Robbie was probably slated as stealing the thunder from J-Law. And here she is - dressed in black. Is she in the next Men in Black? Is she in mourning with Glenn Close? As my mother would say, black is such a harsh colour. And this thunder from down under failed to storm. 
Ahhh mon chérie! Très bien! Très jolie! Julie Delpy, despite me detesting all those sunrise, sunset movies, this dress is divine, and I am madly in love with it. Truly. Madly. Deeply. 

Oscars 2014:: Glenn Close, Jessica Biel, Anna Kendrick, Emma Watson, Jennifer Garner, Liza Minnelli and OLGA

 I do kind of like this. I do. It's Zac Posen, and I like it. But I also think it looks like a Victorian mourning gown. She just needs a netting veil and then she's on her horse drawn carriage and away driver, away! 
 Jessica Biel, do we know how to spell - beige?
 Ever since I saw Anna Kendrick in that beer ad for Newcastle Brown Ale she's pretty much cemented herself in my awesome chicks list. She could wear a garbage bag made out of biodegradable plastic and I'd still be a fan.
Yes, yes, yes. Emma Watson - always magical. Vera Wang today - style icon tomorrow. This time, thankfully you got enough fabric to wrap all the way around.  
 SO - let's get this straight. I love Jennifer Garner, I love this dress, and I love the whole look. It does however remind me of this Muppet's eyelashes and fringe. 

AND one of Dolly Parton's tiered fringed dresses. I just spent way too long googling to no avail. Just trust me. 
 Look. I want to be kind. But silk satin on the red carpet is a friend to no one. 
Not even to those nipple pasties. No. Not even. 

And then there was Olga. Take my breathe away. Holy smokes. That red carpet is on fire. 

Oscars 2014:: Meryl Streep, Viola Davis, Sally Hawkins, Penelope Cruz, Michael Fassbender

Meryl Streep looks pretty darn banging. And once you've finished watching the Oscars, she does table service too. Cocktail anyone? 
I say yes to jewel like tones. I say yes to this form-fitting frock - that flares at just the right spot. Viola Davis, I do love this - and I would have loved it even more with a jolly big Harry Winston necklace. If that fails, well Lovisa never did me wrong.
Sally Hawkins was fabulous in Blue Jasmine - and she's fabulous on the red carpet. This is another of my favourite looks. Well played Sal, well played.  
 Long time no see Penelope, and my goodness girlfriend, I am so glad you are back. You did not disappoint. Part-time Grecian goddess, full-time awesome. I love this. 
I did initially think this was Fassbender's wife. And it reminded me of a time I was on the door at a celeb event greeting guests. A well known cricketer came in with his mum. I thought how nice it was to bring your mum to an outing. A few hours later my brother-in-law thankfully corrected me - informing me it was his wife - NOT his mum, before I  could tell said cricketer how nice it was. PHEW. Anyway, this is Michael Fassbender. And this really is his mum.
