I received a lot of feedback, both positive and negative, regarding my reaction to Angelina Jolie’s Oscars outfit. But, while I am happy to point out dresses (or poses) that seem ridiculous, I’m also not looking to rain on the fashion parade. That’s why I’ve perused the Oscar looks and picked some of my favorites for a gallery here. See them, and let us know your choice gowns, after the cut!
OK, some of these are technically from Oscar after parties. Po-tay-to, po-tah-to. I think most of us are interested in celebs’ Oscar-related fashions, not necessarily if they were present at the event or not.
My favorite dress from the night was (unsurprisingly) the McQueen gown Jessica Chastain is wearing in the lead photo. When looking at thumbnails from the event, hers was the first I clicked on. I tend to be unintentionally drawn to McQueen any time the label makes an appearance somewhere, and I blame the elaborate-yet-delicate designs and classic color combinations, like the ones on Chastain’s dress.
What about you, Lovelies? What Oscar looks were you enamored with?

Michelle Williams, Penelope Cruz & Meryl Streep were gorgeous. I think Meryl was channeling a past look because she wore a gold dress when she won an Oscar before.
I dont know how Angeline Jolie got on some peoples list. She’s lost alot of weight & didnt look right in her dress. She looked gaunt to me! Look back at her when she won an Oscars & she was curvy & healthy looking. The right leg thing was just tacky as shit. This is the biggest & most formal night of the year in Hollywood & she wears a dress that looked like it got caught in a car door!

Rooney Mara’s baby bangs give me some sort of murderous rage…
I like Jolie’s dress, just not her stupid pose.

I like a lot of these, but the ones that really stick out to me are Gwyneth Paltrow’s dress and cape, the bottom of Rooney Mara’s dress, and Natalie Portman’s necklace.

I love Maya Rudolph’s dress!!! Gwyneth Paltrow also looked fantastic and I was psyched to see Rooney Mara in WHITE!
@Shinbi_Belldandy@xanga - AMEN! Took the words right out of my mouth!! It cracks me up that she has spent so long wanting to be taken serious as an actress/director/humanitarian, but then she does something so tacky and ridiculous as that….
