Better Than Christmas- The Oscars

I can't spell half of these people's names...

I'd like to start by thanking the Academy... and Dior and Prada and Valentino for creating the most gorgeous haute couture confections that graced the red carpet last night. After live tweeting (much to my followers' annoyance) and taking copious notes during the 86th annual Academy Awards Ceremony, I have sorted out my favorites, the totally hot's and the totally not's, of the Oscars.

Olivia Wilde- pregnant and bloated, she still is the most stunning woman on the red carpet. Wearing a floor length black Valentino gown with a white panel backing, Wilde walked in early with fiancee (equally gorgeous) Jason Sudeikis and instantly drew gasps. The high collar and windswept up-do created a glamorous, dramatic, semi-Audrey Hepburn effect. Completed with a perfect stack of gold and black bracelets and rings, and dazzling Lorraine Schwartz drop earrings. Utterly elegant and glam.

Lupita Nyong'o- I want Lupita Nyong'o to be my fairy godmother, my best friend, my sister... we're soul sisters I can tell. The winner of Best Supporting Actress in 12 Years a Slave, the actress collaborated with Prada to create her perfect, baby blue, pleated, plunging V gown. As someone commented, the dress looked like it was made out of "champagne and bubbles" due to the subtle sparkles hid throughout the pleats. Her hair pulled back with a shining headband and framed by dazzling Fred Leighton earrings- she was a vision of girlish elegance and beauty.

Cate Blanchett- while the Best Actress winner (Blue Jasmine) was credited for her nude Armani gown, I don't know if it was my favorite pick. The trend of the night seemed to be tan and sheer (sporting this also was Angelina Jolie, Kristen Bell, and Naomi Watts) but for some reason Blanchett's just wasn't holding its appeal for me. The adorned dress just seemed "been there, done that". Congrats on the award Cate, but you're on the shit list.

Jared Leto & Matthew McConaughey- All right, all right, all right. No one knows if the two Dallas Buyer's Club stars planned to match their white tux jackets, but they definitely worked it. The super hot hunks took home Best Supporting Actor (Leto) and Best Actor (McConaughey, his first nominee and win) and not to mention Hottest Male Awards deemed by every gushing girl worldwide. Leto- sexy as always- in his burgundy bow tie, ombre'd hair and piercing blue eyes tie together his rock and roll style and refined acting roots (throwback to Jordan Catalano!). And perfectly polished McConaughey in his black and white tux and swoon-worthy Southern drawl sealed the duo as the best dressed men on the red carpet.

Naomi Watts- anyone in Calvin Klein is obviously going to make my best dressed list. Naomi Watts looked classy yet a little sexy in her form fitting, floor length white dress. With a bold Bulgari necklace and dainty diamond earrings, she balanced out her chic ensemble in the perfect black tie-casual (if that even makes sense) style. Casual hair and a swipe of red lipstick completed her look.

Pharrell's hat- Okay, I know he's known for his awesome head gear and bold fashion sense, but I'm really confused as to why he looks like he's going on a safari. His hat- almost as tall as Abraham Lincoln's- was perched upon a recently shaved head, an athletic jacket, jeans, and bright red kicks. If anyone can shed some light as to why he thought that this was the best outfit for his first ever Oscar debut, please share. But on another note, did anyone else love Lupita Nyong'o and him shimmying together during his performance?

Emma Watson- OF COURSE. The fact that she continues to get more and more stunning is really depressing. Once I think she can't top her most recent beauty feat, she does something even better and looks even more envy-inducing. In a shimmery silvery-black Vera Wang gown, tapered at the waist, Watson was yet again the poster woman of effortless chic. Her natural makeup and bold lipstick offset the dark, metallic dress. And her Repossi earrings and stacked rings on her hands added to her all around "cool" yet elegant appeal. She will always look amazing regardless of her clothing.

A few of my other favorites include Margot Robbie, Robin Williams, Kate Hudson, and Anne Hathaway. And a few not-so-good-looking include Kristen Bell, Kristen Chenoweth (what's up with her and Jennifer Lawrence's matching 80-year-old hairdos?), Liza Manelli (you are way to old to start dying your hair blue), Ellen's first outfit (I love you Ellen, but the suits of 20 different hues are getting stale), Gabourey Sidibe, Pink, and Whoopi Goldberg. 

Anyone I missed or forgot? Let me know! Hope you all enjoyed last night's Oscars ceremony as much as I did!!
