minimalist

The big night is over and although I wasn't blown away by the dress choices I was amazed that there were so many great nominees this year with some well deserved winners. I will say that I have a new grown respect for Rachel Zoe after seeing Ann Hathway in seven outfit changes. This was Rachel's ultimate gig and she killed it...and that too being 9 months pregnant! Go Zoe!!!

I did enjoy the minimalist approach that some of our Oscar Glam Gals portrayed. The ultimate Oscar look requires a succinct sense of proportion and supreme confidence. So, when it works, the result is as dynamic as it is serene. And the Oscar goes to...

 

Gwen did not disappoint in this shiny metallic Calvin Klein. She looks like liquid gold. The true sense of a minimalist. And those LV jewels...I am swooning over them!

Jennifer Lawrence really set the bar high. Her form fitting fiery dress hugs her in all the right places. The simple hair and smokey eyes completes her sexy look. Now this is what a 20 year old should look like.

Michelle Williams swept the scarlet carpet in a sheer, sparkly floor length column dress that didn't get as much credit as it was worth. This Chanel Haute Couture was tailored to hug her hips and didn't shine as brights on the carpet as it did on the runway. I still think she stole the show as she sported her icy-blond pixie cut. She's just too darn adorable! 

Now this is how to wear pale gold. Celine looked ravishing in her Armani Prive gown and I am dying over her figure after giving birth to twins. Celine is everything the Oscars weren’t this year - elegant, classic and graceful. 

Camila can do no wrong. You can put her in anything and she looks stunning. I'm loving the simple, classic, yet modern take on the carpet with her parted hair and minimal make-up. The pockets are such a sweet touch to this gown. She's perfection! 

 

Mila is pure hotness, but had such a different look on the carpet last night with her feminine, soft side. The lavender color of the lace dress was one-of-a-kind and such a romantic look. I wasn't loving the peek-a-boo cutouts, but it' Mila so she's forgiven. I love you Mila!
