Ahhhhh...there is just soooooo much to love about the Oscars! First of all, I get to seriously revel in the mere idea of EVER sporting some of the biggest/best jewels, adorning the neckslines and ear-lobes of numerous celebs! The stunners always glimmer, impress and shine brightly on the TV screen and make my eyes twinkle. Ok, ok...enough about the jewels. I also love imagining myself in one of the more regal gowns, with train trailing behind me and practicing my former Prom Queen hand wave ("Elbow, elbow...wrist, wrist! Elbow, elbow...wrist, wrist!") Ok, enough about me...onto those gorgeous celebs and WHY we've deemed Heidi Klum our hottest red-dressed lady-love...and there were SOOO many gorgeous "reds" to chose from!
So myself and R.D. Hub were invited to a fun-filled Oscar Watching Party at a friend's home. Seriously, though R.D. Hub is always one to watch ANY five-hour awards shows with me (golf claps for his greatness)...I must say that I did find it quite intriguing to see what the other women in the room thought about certain jewels/gowns and who the guys 'ooohed and aaaaahed' over! One thing's for sure, we all seriously LOVED the entire ensembles that were sported by Katherine Heigl and Anne Hathaway. I actually heard the host say, about Anne Hathaway, "Wow, she's pretty...she really is quite pretty!" Sometimes it just takes men a bit longer, wink! Luxurious and rich in red, both leading ladies oooozed style and sophistication in their red-hot choices! Red, as you can see above, was the COLOR of the night. But these three featured best-dressed lady-loves, ROCKED some seriously stylish red!
Amy Adams was featured ONE TOO MANY times, singing and dancing to her Enchanted tunes...but we weren't so impressed by that = B-O-R-I-N-G! She did steal the heart of the little one watching at our party last night...but hells bells, it's not like the majority of the viewing audience is under 1 years old, right? We are VERY impressed by her perfect choice of gown color (emerald green = matches her eyes) and gold itty-bitty clutch. Amy looked ravishing, so she found an easy spot on our Top 5 for Oscar ensembles!
Onto Jennifer Hudson! Though this look might not be a fan-fave with everyone...if you watched the show last night, you would know WHY I've chosen former Oscar winner. In her white Roberto Cavalli gown, Miss Hudson walked on-stage to present an award with complete confidence, poise, and elegance. You could tell SHE was wearing the gown...NO, that gown was not wearing her. She honestly made this gown look good! Loved her in white, too!
And, last but not least...drum-roll please! Heidi Klum looked beyond stunning, gorgeous, regal, sexy, sophisticated and downright beautiful! Red, the color of the night, came alive on ther awesome hot-body-karate! I do not find myself wanting to walk in others shoes (LOVE my own life) very often...but this look on Heidi Klum last night, ummmm...has me wanting to actually BID ON HER DRESS, too and pretty much be her for a night! Yes, in my mind...Heidi Klum stole the show!
So that's all I have for you on the dress-front...but I DID make a small collage featuring some of my PERSONAL fave moments from the Oscars Award Show below. What are they? Below, clockwise from upper left; the seriously adorable and talented 11 year old actress, Jamia Simone Nash, belting out a tune from her recent movie, August Rush. Then we had Robert Boyle receiving his honorary Oscar and was he EVER a long-winded fellow. The camera kept panning over to his OWN family, who were all yawns and totally uninterested. Awwww...poor guy! I know it's mean but many members of our Oscar watching party were humming the Oscar 'it's time to leave the stage' music. Laughter erupted because you know everyone in our party, and at the Oscars for that matter basically wanted to say, "Buddy...you're time is UP!"
Then there's the talented writer, Diablo Cody, of JUNO fame...girlfriend almost pulled a Britt-Britt on us, showing her bits-and-pieces! It was a near-miss...but she recovered and nothing slipped! Phew! Next fave, Jon Stewart called Markéta Irglová back onstage to finish her speech as she got cut off by that same 'leave the stage' music. She's from the gorgeous movie, Once (ummm...let me get a pause; if you haven't seen, you MUST!) and her speech was nearly as precious as she is.
Lastly, the most heartfelt and endearing speech of the night came directly from gorgeous Marion Cotillard's perfect pout for her Best Actress award-winning role in La Vie en Rose. She just slipped by on our Top 5 Best Dressed Belles of the Ball...she was absolutely stunning, as well! What a show...what a show! Enjoy!
