2011 Academy Awards

I’m not surprised that once again pregnant Natalie Portman looked “glowing” in a plum Rodarte gown.  The chiffon gown draped beautifully over her growing baby bump; overall she looked classy and sophisticated.  Definitely a best dressed nominee for the night.  Mila Kunis was also another one of my favorites of the night.  She wore an exquisitely detailed lavender gown that combined draping and elegant lace. 
However, in my opinion, Cate Blanchett’s lavender gown was a red carpet crime.  The sleeves were extremely square shaped and the gown looked as though it had shoulder pads.  In addition to the light lavender gown which looked washed out against her lightly toned skin and blonde hair, the back of the gown was a disaster.  When I first saw the upper back of the gown I instantly thought to myself, “What are those yellow things? Corn?”  Yellow beads were scattered all along the upper back of the gown.  They did not sparkle or shine.  It literally looked like corn kernels had been glued to the back of her gown. Gross.  Nicole Kidman deserved to earn a worst dressed nominee for her white Dior Couture gown.  Overall, the gown had too much fabric and the front criss-crossing of two strips of fabric caused her sides to bunch out, giving her what looked like a muffin top.  Gwyneth Paltrow’s silver metallic Calvin Klein Collection gown looked more like a space suite than an award show gown.  Although it fit her perfectly, it was too shiny.  The rectangular plunging neckline was too revealing, and what was that embellishment that was stuck to the side of her waist?
