so many more risks taken than the globes…lots of colorful, dramatic dresses! there seemed to be alot of blushes and reds. overall, these ladies should be proud!
so claire danes and mila kunis (and jenny packham and monique lhullier) have made both of my best dressed lists so far…should make for an interesting academy carpet!
10. heather morris in romona keveza
{a modern day glinda the good witch? i love that she wore her hair up to avoid looking too much like cinderella.}
9. sarah hyland in max mara elegante
{age appropriate, simple, and the perfect shade for her color palette}
8. kyra sedgwick in vintage thierry mugler couture
{simple, sleek, she owns this dress.}
7. jayma mays in jenny packham spring ’11
{love this peachy shade. it goes perfectly with her hair. i would have loved to see this without the shoulder detail and asymmetrical bottom and with a chunky turquoise necklace instead, though.}
6. mila kunis in alexander mcqueen resort ’10
{rachel bilson, is that you???}
5. julia stiles in monique lhullier pre-fall ’11
{i usually HATE ombre, but she looks incredible from head to toe. maybe it’s because i didn’t expect this from her, of all people!}
4. january jones in carolina herrera pre-fall ’11
{after her flesh-baring miss at the globes, i’m glad she went with something classy. this look is really …rich? the color of the carpet makes her look like spanish royalty. she really looks like she was transported from a different time and place. amazing.}
3. hailee steinfeld in prada spring ’11
{i really cannot say enough good things about this girl. not many 14 year olds can step out in prada and rock the garment like it was made. for. her…it’s like high fashion with a touch of limited too. in a good way.}
2. claire danes in louis vuitton
{the woman has the enviable ability to turn a pretty and charming dress into a breathtaking ensemble. flawless hair and makeup. jealous.}
1. amy adams in herve l leroux
{white and tight usually make for an unforgivable faux pas (not to mention trashy and distasteful) but she looks GORGEOUS. it takes balls to wear a dress like this…ever, much less 6 months after giving birth?!}
