February 23, 2009 Best and Worst: 2009 Academy Awards

These ladies looked stunning at the Oscars last night! Whether in colors that popped or pale neutral hues, the pursuit of glamour was all about finding what worked best for their skintones and bodies. Freida Pinto (of Slumdog Millionaire) dazzled in the perfect shade of blue, and John Galliano’s design had a Bollywood feel without looking overdone. Anne Hathaway sparkled and accentuated her shape in this sequin fishtail gown by Armani Prive. Natalie Portman was a standout in her ethereal bold pink Rodarte. Taraji P. Henson looked lovely in Roberto Cavalli, with a sweet smile to match.

Others were not quite so elegant. Amanda Seyfried’s giant bow fiasco was not flattering (Valentino). Sophia Loren wore what appeared to be a 16-year-old’s debutante gown. Beyonce (who we love unconditionally) could barely breathe in a House of Dereon dress seemingly constructed from vintage drapes. And Jessica Biel (in Prada) – we can’t see your lovely figure under that excess fabric. Better luck next year!
