Academy Awards: Worst Dressed Women

 

I have 5 ladies gracing my list of Worst Dressed. While these women are talented, their red carpet efforts were not note worthy. The five women securing spots on my worst dressed list include Mandy Moore, Melissa Leo, Florence Welch, Helena Bonham Carter, and Scarlett Johansson. Mandy Moore looks too stiff in that dress; it looks like she can’t move her arms comfortably, and i absolutely HATE ill-fitting dresses. Melissa Leo just looks like she flung an antique table cloth over her shoulders. Florence Welch looks washed out in her white gown that looks like her grandmother's wedding dress. Helena Bonham Carter is just a mess, as always. And finally, Scarlett Johansson looks like she’s trying too hard to not care. Messy hair is NOT okay for the Oscars. Better luck next year, ladies.

Academy Awards: Best Dressed Women

     Along with winners in the actual show, there were also clear winners in the fashion department of the Academy Awards. The first clear winner was shown on Natalie Portman. The actress received the honor of Best Lead Actress this evening and accepted her award in Rodarte. The gown was a deep plum off the shoulder cut that perfectly showcased her new baby bump. The next fashion winner of the evening was Gwenyth Paltrow who stunned in a Calvin Klein, silver, column gown. The next stunner was Reese Witherspoon who went with a retro look in a strapless, black and white, vintage Christian Dior creation. Last but definitely not least, Mila Kunis. She was the best dressed of the evening by FAR in a lavender lace Elie Saab gown.

Academy Awards: Worst Dressed Men

     Adding to the horrible white tie situation below, many other men of the evening could really benefit from a change in stylist for their next award show. The first man to mention: Russell Brand. Brand arrived in a navy suit with black lapels and a black tie. The worst parts of the outfit were his details. His shirt was a plaid of the same navy and black of his suit and his pants were far to skinny for a formal occasion. Next on the offending list is Darren Afonosky. Afonosky landed a spot on my list for a personal reason, his tie is floppy. I personally prefer a straight bow tie with some structure. My last offender of the evening is Christian Bale. He needs to shave his beard immediately. This is the Oscars, not a camping weekend.

Academy Awards: White Ties

     The men of the 83rd annual Academy Awards have made many fashion faux pas this evening. The first round was shown when both Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. presented the award for Film Editing and Visual Effect in matching white ties. The Oscars is a black tie event, the men shouldn't stray from the dress code. Jude Law is wearing a traditional Gucci tuxedo with a bow tie and Robert Downey Jr. is wearing a less traditional take on the white tie in a navy Tom Ford suit.

NYFW: Bo Don

  

  
         Yet another new model has come into the spotlight at New York Fashion Week, Bo Don. She has taken the presentations and shows by storm, and this is her first New York Fashion Week. The Dutch model is only 18 years old, is represented by the Marylin Agency,  and already has such major names under her belt as Yigal Azrouel, Balenciaga, Chloe, Cacheral, Prada, Chanel, Nina Ricci, Givenchy, and Yves Saint Laurent. Along with just being in those prestigious shows, she has also opened and closed such major shows as Yigal Azrouel and Tommy Hilfiger. She has been in magazine spreads in Russian Vogue, Itallian Amica, British Vogue, and Harper's Bazaar Mexico. She has also graced the cover of Itallian Amica. Her trademark on the runway is her high cheek bones.

NYFW: Extreme Runways

Models and Ice Skaters at Elise Overland

     This season, some designers have taken a different approach to just having models walk down a runway to showcase their clothing. Elise Overland chose for her models to hit the ice in her clothes. Models stood in an iceskating rink at the Standard Hotel New York while professional ice skaters spun around them. Everyone on the ice was dressed head to toe in Elise Overland. At Kaelen, models rode mechanical bulls. At Band of Outsiders, male models were lowered from the ceiling attached to harnesses before walking the runway.

NYFW: Arizona Muse

    

     With fashion week, there are always a new batch of standouts who appear again and again on the runways. This year, it has been Arizona Muse. She is from Sante Fe, New Mexico and is known this season for her thick eyebrows. As the new face of both Yves Saint Laurent and Prada campaigns, this Next Models newcomer is drawing major attention. So far this season, she has opened shows for Preen, BCBG, Prada, Miu Miu, Valentino, Elie Saab,Chanel couture, and Derek Lam. Muse has also been seen on the runways of Bill Blass, Marc Jacobs, Herve Leger, Narciso Rodriguez, and Proenza Schouler. Muse has modeled since 2008, but took the 2009 season off to give birth to her son, Nikko. She has appeared in editorials for Chinese Vogue, French Vogue, British Vogue, American Vogue, and W.
