The red carpet is my favorite part of the Oscars. I do like the last 4 awards or so. So glad Leo won!! But back to the real reason I’m posting. I’m sharing my hits and misses of Oscar fashion. My choices differ a bit from some of the other best and worst dressed lists I’ve seen. But these are my authentic opinions.
Top 5:
1) Rooney
Mara – I loved this dress – the lace, the peplum, the color on her! It
was somehow Victorian and Edwardian but sexy at the same time. This was my favorite dress of the evening by a landslide.

| Rooney Mara in Givenchy Haute Couture |
2) Charlize Theron – The color is amazing.
The cut is perfection. Her
styling and hair and makeup is flawless.
That face is everything. Love.
 |
| Charlize Theron in Dior |
3) SofiaVergara – She looked gorgeous but I was even more excited that she did not wear a mermaid gown. This was a stunning look for her.
 |
| Sofia Vergara in Marchesa |
 |
| Jennifer Garner in Versace |
5) Cate
Blanchett – I must admit I’m not a huge fan of the embellishment on the shoulders but other than that, I adored this gown. Cate looked ethereal as the gorgeous minty sea foam color played against her porcelain skin and her amazing figure.

| Cate Blanchett in Armani Privé |
Honorable Mentions:
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend looked so good.
 |
| Chrissy Teigen in Marchesa |
Tina Fey slayed IMO.

| Tina Fey in Versace |
Margot Robbie was my disco dream.

| Margot Robbie in Tom Ford |
The Mehs:
Reese Witherspoon looked great but her dress wasn’t my fave. It was ill-fitted. Maybe she’s pregnant and in the awkward stage. No shade – she looked great but she looked like she might be about 3 or 4 months along… just saying.
 |
| Reese Witherspoon in Oscar de la Renta |
I actually really wanted Lady Ga Ga to be in the top 5 but the boobs – the ill-fitting boobs – made it a meh for me. Other than that, I thought it was a really cool yet elegant look.
 |
| Lady Ga Ga in Brandon Maxwell |
Saoirse Ronan looked so grown and pretty but the dress was not that special for me. I didn’t like where the waist hit her. It looked like she needed to poop in this pose. But, the color was beautiful.
 |
| Saoirse Ronan in Calvin Klein |
First, let me say that I loved Olivia Munn’s dress. That tangerine color really worked with her skin tone. But girlfriend was a little too lithe for me. Sorry to get personal. I just always thought she was so pretty but she’s looking odd. Her face benefits from a bit of fullness. So she gets a meh… #SorryNotSorry

Just NO!:
I have no words for Heidi Klum… or Brie Larson. Because I threw up in my mouth and can’t speak right now.
 |
| Heidi Klum in Marchesa |
 |
| Brie Larson in Gucci |
Hate to say this b/c I’m usually such a fan but I did not appreciate Jennifer Lawrence’s dress. It reminded me of the awful Gwyneth Paltrow number from a few years back. At least Jennifer fills the dress out.

| Jennifer Lawrence in Dior |
I have a hard time with the fact that Alicia Vikander made the best dress list for some. Why? It’s yellow and poufy with geometric silver sequins splattered on it haphazardly. I don’t get it.
 |
| Alicia Vikander in Louis Vuitton |
I wasn’t a fan of Kerry Washington’s dress either. She’s hit or miss for me anyway. This is a miss. Maybe she was channeling Mad Max “couture” since the movie did so well for the evening. Her body is rockin’, however!
 |
| Kerry Washington in Versace |
I do realize there are other people and dresses that looked way worse than these (well maybe not worse than Heidi Klum) but these stood out b/c I think they could have been so much better so in turn, they were bad.
