Oscar Loveliness 2011

To start, I love Hathaway and Franco, but last night's Oscars were a tad bit boring...just sayin'.
With that out of the way, here are my fave dresses from the red carpet.

Hailee Steinfeld in Marchesa

This was an amazing dress for this young lady.

I thought it was age appropriate

and was a natural look for her.

Turns out...she helped design it!

Amy Adams in L'Wren

I love AA and I thought she looked FAB.

I loved the green jewels.

It made this "plain jane" dress stand out!

...and the jewels,

that's another story:

1.35 million dollars worth!

Gwyneth Paltrow in Calvin Klein

I loved her look, tres' chic!

However, I think she should have

either darkened her hair a tad,

or wore the same dress

in a darker tone of this color.

Does that make sense?

I thought she kinda looked washed out...

but I loved it...

and her!

Reese Witherspoon in Armani Prive

I didn't love it,

but I thought she looked nice and comfortable

...and I own this dress.

OK, so not the Armani version,

but one very similar,

 that I wore for Mardi Gras

several years ago...LOL.

I'm not even joking.

To end though, I must say, "NO ONE stood above Hathaway".

I loved EVERY outfit she changed into for the night!

(Except, maybe, the tuxedo.)

Anne Hathaway 2011 Oscars

That pretty much sums up what I thought was the best dressed.

All in all though,

pretty boring overall.

What did you think?

P.S. Congrats to The King's Speech.

I love Colin Firth.

I have loved him since he was Mr. Darcy

in Pride and Prejudice

over 15 years ago.

*In fact,

Helen Fielding said that

Colin Firth as P&P Mr. Darcy 

was the direct inspiration for her Mr. Darcy

in Bridget Jones's Diary.

Don't you just love that?
