Aishwarya Rai and Mallika Sherawat were both at the Oscars this year. I think Mallika dresses like a tart, and this time was no exception. Maybe if it didn't have that slit in the chest it wouldn't look like she was trying so hard for attention. Oh well, she needs to be recognized for something, right?! And what better than some good ol' T and A.
Aishwarya's Armani Prive dress was unfortunately not flattering on her -
not in that dull brown color, and not on her figure. I'd like to see
her in something bright that complements her skin tone and brings out
that natural tan! Versace has made many a career and would have been a
great choice for her - I would have loved to see her in something like
this Atelier Versace from Fall 2010.


Mallika, on the other hand, could have surprised us all with going a little more fashion-forward instead of opting for the overdone sexpot. Can you imagine how fresh and stunning she would have looked in something like this Spring 2011 Elie Saab?
It's as if Mallika suffers from too much sex appeal, and Aishwarya, not enough.
We saw less ball gowns and more column dresses at the Oscars this year. Anne Hathaway had the luxury of 8 dresses (see post below), but other than her, no one was dressed spectacularly this year. Is it just me, or are the Oscars becoming less glam each year?







Halle Berry could wear a potato sack and still look ridiculously amazing. That body! That skin! I do think the ruffles in the bottom look a little messy, but she's so radiant that I'm not bothered by them.
Sandra Bullock: I really liked this dress. A bit simple (bordering on boring) but the material and small details in the corset and chest bring make the tailoring of the dress stand out.
Camila Alves: Stunning woman. I actually like this dress, but it's too boring for the Oscars. It would have probably been more appropriate at a gala or charity event, but it's the Oscars! Where is the glitter, the sparkle!
Jennifer Lawrence: When she came on the screen I thought to myself, she is pretty! But why is she dressed like this is a party at the playboy mansion? She is a film actress! This is not Baywatch!
Scarlett Johanssen: The color of this dress is gorgeous and I like the lace. But again, too boring! She's not even wearing any jewelry to dress it up! What about chandelier earrings, even a cuff... something!
Mila Kunis: I liked the color - it was appropriate for her age, and it was eye-catching amongst all the other black, white and red dresses there. But the lace pieces falling all along the bottom are drab and unflattering.
And finally, Best Actress winner Natalie Portman: The dress was pretty, the color beautiful, and given her pregnant condition, the shape was appropriate and flattering. But again, something was missing - she's not even wearing a necklace! Those extra details would have helped made the dress pop, and maybe the critics would have been less harsh with her.
What is with these American actresses? We want glamour!!

No fashion blog would be complete without coverage of the most-coveted gowns all year... so here it is!
Let's start with co-presenter Anne Hathaway, who apparently changed outfits 8 times... 8 times! I'm not crazy about her, but her dresses were beautiful - and how wouldn't they be with the world's best design houses dressing you?!
All long, formal gowns (with the exception of that ridiculous tuxedo which won't be pictured here), I liked that there was at least some variety in the designs she wore - we have an asymmetrical strapped flapper dress (Oscar De la Renta), a sleek high collar and long-sleeved number (Tom Ford), a beautiful curve-accentuating strapless (Versace) and an ethereal flowy one (Givenchy). These were my favorites. What were yours?
