After posting the I called my husband to dish about the fashion. It went something like:
Me: Really? I liked her princess look.
Me: WHAT? Are you smoking crack at home right now?
.
..and it continued in that fashion for the duration.
Basically, this year had a lot of distinctly different dresses...
good or bad is anyone's guess.
The birds are coming..
.DUCK!
Feathers were a popular adornment choice on the red carpet as shown by Kirsten Dunst, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Penelope Cruz.
Shades of blue worn by Portia de Rossi, Emily Blunt, and Jodie Foster (and Maggie Gyllenhaal above).
Security had their work cut out for them at the Academy Awards. Look at all of those diamonds!
Rinko Kikuchi, Gwyneth Paltrow, Anne Hathaway, Isla Fisher, Celine Dion, Reese Witherspoon were a few sporting expensive (looking) wrist rocks.
The best and worst on the red carpet..
.
From her long sleek hairstyle to her strapless, swirling purple gown, Witherspoon is the picture of elegance.
Diaz's stiff paper-like white dress looked like a craft project in the making.
The jeweled neckline and empire waist of Jennifer Lopez's Marchesa dress give her a royal antique look.
Earth to red carpet..
.hello red carpet..
.: Jennifer Hudson
Who knew there was a little jacket I wouldn't like?
I have nothing against bows, but this is too much of a cute thing.
She made some interesting choices at the and the , but redeemed herself with a sleek black strapless number.

Check back on Sunday night when I'll have the red carpet style dish from the Oscars up..

Let's hope there are some doozies..

I didn't like this dress when Kristen Bell wore it to the "Clerks 2" premiere. In fact, my exact words were:
"Did Kristen Bell skip out of her bridesmaid stint early to attend the premiere of "Clerks II"?
She arrives to the premiere in a sea foam and black one shoulder number that should not be worn again. "
But it WAS worn again..
.by Jenna Elfman at the GM Ten Fashion Show. And it looks even WORSE for wear the second go-around.

Rehab has become the happening place to be in Hollywood.
Lindsay's there.
Britney made a brief appearance.
While I realize that rehab is not a trivial matter..
.I couldn't help constructing an outfit idea for other starlets visiting for the scenic setting.
Wear as a long shirt with jeans.
Remove jeans and voila...
nightclub and crotch shot ready.
Removable for an instant party outfit.
A structured jacket makes for a capable-looking ensemble.
Lots of pockets make for easy credit card access for those in-between session shopping sprees and razors for the post-getaway head shavings.
Remain stylishly incognito.
Cole Haan styling keeps you looking hot, Nike technology makes your getaway quick.
How can you help?
Feeling bad for Britney? with a "Save Britney" sweatshirt or tee.
Truth be told, I have been a little uninspired by clothes in general lately.
But..
.I went to Tucson last night..
.and returned with a new lease on fashion..
.just in time for spring.
I've always dug the Tucson vibe.
..which tends toward thrift-wear with a little vintage, and some hippy flavor thrown in.
..and some baby bangs for good measure.
So, perhaps this weekend I'll hit , then look for some less "authentic" things toward my look...
Pair with a retro belt, jeans and a little cardigan.
1950s embroidered sweater for a vintage touch.
Retro flats look cute with a dress, skirt or jeans.
Thin cotton dress makes for a good layering piece.
Quality is better than quantity.
While the .
..the result was glamourous, chic.
..and decidedly un-rock 'n roll.
Conversely, the Brit Awards red carpet had color, leg, big hair, bows, cut-outs...
and was basically loads more fun than the what we saw state-side.
A sampling of style..
.
Joss Stone, Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse (don't know who she is..
.but props on the John Waters movie-esque hair).
Nelly Furtado, Corinne Baily Rae, Kelly Osbourne.
Looks like the back is the new body part to bare.
Sienna Miller, Marley Shelton and Beyonce all back it up to show off their other assets.

I have had a cough for the past two weeks.
Yeah, colds suck, but I like to look at the silver lining...
I've got a sexy voice, and all my from-the-diaphragm hacking must have done something beneficial for my abs.
I should buy this to show off my new coughing-induced six-pack.

How many dresses does one girl need for a night at the Grammys?
If you ask Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, or Mary J.
Blige, the answer is FOUR.
Back in the day..
.a girl had to figure out one outfit to wear for a big event.
Now there's a dress for the red carpet, one for her performance, one to greet the media.
..and yet another for the after-party.
God forbid they party hop...
or decide to make a late-night snack stop.
A look a the ensembles of the night..
.
The Grammys is often the early-year red carpet event that shakes things up..
.stylishly speaking. Not so this year.
Sure there were some standout dresses...
but you could almost call most...
conservative. Where's the scandal?!
Some common threads for the evening...
Hilary Duff, Vanessa Minnillo, Fergie, Carrie Underwood
Mary J. Blige, Mandy Moore, Zuleyka Rivera
Christina Aguilera, Paula Abdul, Shakira, Natalie Cole
Pink, Leann Rimes, Scarlett Johansson, Emily Robinson of Dixie Chicks
Her dress looks like her designer went to Michael's and raided the discount aisle.
Funky in a fabulous way.
The top half screams red-carpet glamour...
the bottom...
girl Friday?
The dress that could easily be mistaken for an '80s swim cover-up.
Mary Poppins meets Frog Toad are Friends.
You've got to give her props for originality.
So, so sweet: Corinne Baily Rae
Sparkling shoes keep this from being too conservative.
Sparkle in the cleavage.
..on the waist.
..on the wrist.
..
We get that Beyonce shines brighter than a million suns.
..but this is ridiculous.
