Our list of Oscars Best Dressed

 
We know we're a bit slow off the mark, but better late then never! And we guarantee this is the best list of Oscars Best Dressed you'll come across. Not because we think you will agree with our shortlist, but because we always give our fans something to talk about.

Coming in at First Place:

There's just no denying it. The always stunning Demi Moore stole the show, pulling off a nude Atelier Versace gown beautifully. This is not an easy colour for the red carpet, especially given that her skin tone is so similar, but she wins our vote hands down. 

Accessories: Van Cleef & Arpels jewels, a Salvatore Ferragamo clutch, and Versace shoes.


Second Place:

Diane Kruger is all Chanel in a dramatic open-back Chanel Couture halter gown, Chanel Fine Jewelry, and a Chanel clutch. We just love her - AMAZING!


Third Place:

Nicole Ritchie sticks to her signature vintage style in a sparkly Reem Acra gown. She hasn't always gotten it right in the past, but we have to say that she is really pulling off what she does best - hippie glamour and vintage chic.

Accessories: Judith Leiber clutch and Bally shoes. Jewelry by Lorraine Schwartz

Oh, and our advice to Nicole - we love u but DITCH THE MAN!!! He's totally cramping your style...



Fourth Place:

Rachel McAdams  in her billowy Elie Saab Haute Couture gown, and Lorraine Schwartz statement chandelier earrings. So romantic!



Fifth Place:

Carey Mulligan surprises us in a strapless black Prada gown, with heavy metal embroidery.
Fred Leighton jewels and edgy Prada heels almost make the outfit go wrong... but it works and btw we LOVE THE HAIR.



Dress Me Pretty's Honorary Mentions:

Victoria Beckham in her own label from her Fall 2010 Collection. Impeccable as always but not really breaking any rules:


Everyone loves to hate her, but we need to distinguish the designer from the star! You can diss Miley Cyrus, but how can you diss this champagne Jenny Packham gown? We like it!

Super bold jewels: Bronzed diamond and ruby flower earrings, a 10-carat natural ruby ring and a 200-carat bronzed diamond corset cuff, all from Lorraine Schwartz, the star jeweller of the night.

C'mon girls, don't be haters.


Pretty good for an oldie, Meryl Streep looks very age-appropriate in a dress designed by Chris March of Project Runway, match with a sparking Swarovski clutch and Fred Leighton jewelry.

Helen Mirren looks equally glam in Badgley Mischka and Chopard jewels. Tenure has it's moments!


Mr Tom Ford  - Look, he's wearing a Dress Me Pretty flower brooch!!!! Gotta love it :D


And the winner of the star with the most gregarious jewels is..... Sarah Jessica Parker.

The SATC veteren, aka "The Foot" wears standout creations by Fred Leighton, including an eclectic stack of bangles (featuring a 1950s diamond swirl bracelet, cognac diamond flexible bracelet, rose-cut diamond bracelet in platinum and sapphire and diamond wave bangle bracelet) and a moon-shaped 9-carat cushion-cut diamond ring.

We do love the Chanel tattoos (ours are being shipped from the US store as we speak!) but WTF is this - SJP, u need to get some hand cream on giiiirl!!! That is one FUGLY HAND!!!



Might we suggest Chanel's Creme Jeunesse et Confort des Mains? Works wonders and will have you thanking us for sure.

Stay Pretty!

Much luv for Channing Tatum & Colleen Atwood


WE LOVE CHANNING!! And that's not just because he was an absolute GOD in Dear John that left us with a blotchy face from all the crying, but because he is gorgeous and a great guy in real life who loves his wife :)

To be honest, it wasn't quite The Notebook and the ending does leaves you yearning a little, but Amanda Seyfried is just beautiful and the Channing eyecandy is SU-PERB!!!


YUMMY!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile, the costumes in Alice in Wonderland were also a lovely sight. Love what Colleen Atwood (Academy award winner for best costume designs in Chicago and Memoirs of a Geisha) did with Alice's various shades-of-blue costumes...


... and the White Queen, my goodness! Can we get one of those portable stairs that she uses to get up on her pearl-embellished horse? SUPER COOL :D 


Not a huge fan of Tim Burton's work, but Johnny Depp really makes everything worthwhile. And if you have an imagination and know the Jabberwocky poem off by heart like me, you'll love it.
