FASHION HITS & MISSES at The Oscars

HITS

Kristen Stewart worked the Red Carpet with this stunning gothic-chic gown that accentuated her curves and complimented her skin (she finally found something that worked!). The lines made the dress interesting and dramatic. 

Robert Downey Jr. stood out from the other men, and made the fashion police report (few men do) by making his outfit interesting with a powder blue bowtie and sneakers. He loved it so much he wore it on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, and we loved it.

The number one gown of the evening went to Rachel McAdams, hands down. She impressed viewers and fellow stars by wearing Ellie Saab in a watercolor pattern that stood out from the other dresses. She dressed it up with gorgeous earrings and simply looked elegant. 

Zac Efron sported a straight-lined tie, definitely retro (and it worked!), with an all black suit. It was clean and classy, with his hair jelled just right.

Although Miley Cyrus had some haters out there for this one, we loved it. It was age-appropriate and pretty with enough glam and vintage lace to fit the event. Her jewelry was just enough and didn't take away from the dress.

MISSES

This one was a little bland, even for someone older like Meryl Streep. We expected a little more color, or maybe a surprise train, but were left disappointed. Her hair was also nothing to talk about, with a little wave to her bangs, but that's about it.

Although Zoe Saldana made the effort here, it's unfortunate that she was one of the worst dressed stars of the evening. We're not sure if the dress was already paired with the top, or if that was Zoe's idea, but either way it didn't match. We love the flow and the curves, but it was too much of a miss to look past the flaws.

Charlize Theron is known for her elegance in designer dresses, but this time she was a little too daring, and we're afraid this one will be brought up for a while. Although the fabric was beautiful and there were many dimensions, the roses seemed too silly and made it hard to take her seriously.

Sarah Jessica Parker frequents the miss list in most fashion police reports, and she did it again this year. She looked like she was wearing a potato sack with the shape, and then there was the surprise on the neck. The back was even worse, but we tried not to post a photo of that just to give her a break.

Drew Barrymore almost got it right. The dress looked beautiful on her and complimented every curve (from the right). But then what's that sneaking out on the left? We're not sure, either. It was daring, but didn't work.
