Worst Dressed
I am so glad Jessica Biel made this so easy for me.

The white Prada duchesse satin gown, is so incredibly plain and boring – just like Biel.

That draped material didn’t work for me. In some pictures it ballooned out, and just looked ridiculous.

The complete the disaster, Jessica forgot to wash out the mounds of grease in her hair.

Most Predictable Award
No bling, but we get yet ANOTHER mermaid gown from Beyonce Knowles.

Yes it flatters her shape, but could she please play another record.

To be honest I liked this gown for about 10secs, before the camera panned gown. The hem is horrendous.

UPDATE:
You will/should not be surprised that his monstrosity is House of Dereon Couture. Only Tina Knowles could create this hot mess.

Wash Out Award
As much as I love this Elie Saab Spring 2009 Couture gown, the colour is so wrong for the beautifully pale Evan Rachel Wood.

The nude colour totally drains her, and washes her out. I would have loved to have seen her in a striking colour.

Her jewels are by Neil Lane.

Worst Red Award
I love Amy Adams, and I tried to love her Carolina Herrera red strapless gown, but I couldn’t.

Firstly I really dislike the black piping on the bodice, and I really dislike her green, blue and cherry red Fred Leighton necklace with the gown.

I’m 16, Going On 30 Award
Seriously this is TOO much dress for Miley Cyrus.

When will her stylist and her mother get a look right for this girl? Why do they insist on aging her so dramatically.

The Zuhair Murad Spring 2009 Couture gown itself is gorgeous. I love tiered scallop skirt, and embellished belt, but it’s a gown for a woman, not a child.

Most Boring Award
A lot of you said I was too kind to Kate Winslet by putting her on the Best Dressed List at the BAFTA Awards. Looking back I agree.

I did say I would put her on the Worst Dressed list if she opted for another dark colour, so here she is.

The dark colour is not the only problem, I really don’t like that embroidered mesh part on her grey YSL Atelier one-shouldered gown. It serves no purpose, in fact it ruins the dress for me.

Her look is completed with Chopard jewelry.

I Know You Like It, But I Hate It Award
I am sure a lot of you will hate me for adding Amanda Seyfried and her Valentino Spring 2009 Couture gown on the Worst Dressed list.

This gown was better strapless, as it was presented on the runway. The straps ruin the look for me.

Worst Hair & Make-up Award
I don’t even know the colour of Alicia Keys’ dress, because I am so horrified by the brown wig and shocking make-up.

Why, oh why?

Update: Armani Prive gown. Still so upset about the make-up and hair.

De Ju Vu Award
Don’t you feel like you have seen this Dolce & Gabbana mermaid gown a million times before?

We saw something similar on January Jones and Olga Kurylenko, that by now I am so over this look.

De Ju Vu Mark 2 Award
As much as I am a huge fan of Roland Mouret, this modified gown is not to dissimilar to the red Dior dress with the open neckline, which Heidi Klum wore to the Oscars last year.

What Black Again? Award
Not surprised at all that Angelina Jolie is wearing black. Can you believe this is by Elie Saab?

I am so used to seeing his dresses so colourful and embellished. I have never seen his designs look so plain.

She tried to punch it up a little with green Lorraine Schwartz earrings, but that’s not nearly enough.

    hahahha i’m really surprised that House of Dereon “Couture” gown didn’t split.

    i was kinda waiting for Beyonce to pass out from asphyxiation from that super-tight dress. so typical of her, i REALLY wonder when she will ever learn.

    I totally agree with you on Miley Cyrus. When I first saw that picture I just thought “ugh too much dress for a little girl and she’s way too short to rock something with that much skirt”

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Amy’s necklace. It’s stunning. I agree it doesn’t go with the dress, but it’s one of the most pretty things on the red carpter tonight.

    Love Angelina’s earrings. Those esmeralds were made for me!!

    My best dressed would have to be Halle Berry in that stunning Marchesa dress. I’ve been waiting for someone to wear it ever since I first saw it. She was perfect in it! It’s a shame she didn’t walk the red carpet.

    Jennifer Anniston – nice dress, bad hair style

    Freida Pinto – Beautiful and unexpected. It was stunning!

    Sarah Jessica Parker – She looked like a modern day cinderella….I kinda loved it!

    Anne Hathaway – I knew someone would wear this gorgeous Armani Prive gown, and Anne wore it beautifully. The fit was impeccable.

    Natalie Portman – Gorgeous! I completely agree with you about the color.

    Marissa Tomei – LOVE IT! It is so structured and fashion forward. It’s truly beautiful, and she pulled it of wonderfully. I’m a huge fan of Versace Atelier.

    Penelope – Still not up to par, but a really pretty, detailed dress. I’m going to compare it to Reese Witherspoon’s vintage Dior gown the year she won. It didn’t really seem like her style, but it’s definitely an elegant, timeless gown.

    Queen Latifah – I liked the red carpet gown… but I loved her performance dress. It was stunning on her. She’s never looked better.

    Meryl Streep – Classic and Elegant

    Kate Winslet – I have to disagree with you on this one FC. She looked really beautiful and elegant. The back of the dress was very pretty.

    Angelina Jolie – She is the most beautiful woman in hollywood. I think she looked gorgeous! I know the dress was extremely simple, but there’s no denying her beauty. Stunning hair and make-up.

    Miley – Gorgeous dress, but not for you. This gown is extremely difficult to pull off especially for a 16 year old!

    Jessica Biel – By far the worst dressed, you are right on. Really Awful dress. Honestly, I don’t think Prada is a good designer to choose for a red carpet of this caliber. Her hair looked oily and messy. She was just an overall disaster.

    Most Improved Award: Tina Fey

    i loved Angelina Jolie. She is just so stunning but what kills me is that she always wear black. The only time she really impressed me was that yellow dress she wore to Cannes.

    Just in general I didn’t even like the dress Miley wore. I thought it looked WAY to much like it had been modeled after a fish once I saw the full picture.

    I agree and disagree with you about Miley Cyrus. The dress was a bit too sparkly too “hey, look at me!” but it was dramatic, different and beautiful. Her make-up and airstyle were youthful and fresh. If she were a bit taller it would have looked better. It has nothing to do with age. She’s not a 10 year-old. She’ll be 17 this year and any 17 year-old girl looks like a woman. So if she was 1 year older it would have looked better?
    And Kate Winslet looked beautiful.

    WHAT?? Kate Winslet worst dressed??! Are you….???!! And, what, in the end, Queen Latifah looked better then Amy Adams?! And, oh, you liked Leslie Mann’s bling-bling wonder??
    Oh, please…
    Girl, you need some sleep.

    Im shocked Kate Winslet is on the worst dressed list! I think she looks absolutly stunning, and shes gorgeous in it!

    And I also disagree with Miley’s dress! She looks so beautfiful, and rather fairy-tale like, though if she was a little taller it would have worked even better.

    Amy looks really bad. Alicia… what was she thinking? Actually I dont think she was thinking at all. That hair! That make-up! Shame, cause I really like the dress.

    Im upset Angelina decided yet again to wear black. But you gotta admit, the girl looks amazing.

    Angelina Jolie in Elie Saab? Seriously? I heard on TV it was Armani. It couldn’t be Elie Saab, i mean, seriously…

    I totally agree with you on Miley Cyrus.
    She looks like a artichoke.
    The top of it was alright I suppose but the bottom part, no way.

    WHY is Whoopi not on your worst dressed list? OMG! I thought that leopard thing was the worst thing I’ve ever seen! Well…except for maybe at home for a nightgown. No…I change my mind…it’s so ugly I wouldn’t even SLEEP in it! LOL!

    I agree with you on Evan Rachel Wood's dress washing her out!
    I'm so dissappointed no one wore any beautiful dresses from Elie Saab's collection!

    Jessica Beil, I agree, as boring as always!

    I am sooo very shocked you disliked Amy Adams dress!
    I think she should be the best dressed!! In fact, she was ! She looked the best out of the rest! She's looks amazing! I love the color, the dress, the hair, the makeup, the jewelery, EVERYTHING! She looks very original ! I just love it!

    This is the first thing that Miley Cyrus wears that i don't COMPLETELY hate :/
    Her hair and makeup are better then usual!

    I think Kate's hair ages her!

    Yes LOOL, I do like Amanda's Valentino dress, and i WAS expecting someone to wear it!
    I agree about the straps, but I still like it though :)

    I guess the Dolce & Gabbana mermaid gown is a safe choice! It's good on everybody! I particulary loved it on Olga!

    I don't like this hairstyle on Heidi Klum! At all! or her dress!
    Love the jewels though!

    I can't believe Angie !

    What saddens and amazes me is that these stars make millions of dollars. They have stylists, hairstylists, makeup artists, designers at their feet, and this is the best they can do? Not all of the women on this list were terrible, but many were. It breaks my heart that people are given so much and create so little.

    What I would love to dream up if I had the opportunities they did!

    Does anyone agree with me? :)

    you got it wrong on Kate Winslet. She looked regal. The dress was beautiful, the earring perfect. Kate got it on the mark!!

    …on the other hand, Nicole Kidman disappointed me. She was washed out. Too, too pale and her hair! It looked like she a bad perm gone wrong and she couldn’t do anything with it. She is hiding her beauty somewhere.

    I totally disagree with you FC..,
    I know it’s black..,
    but Angelina Jolie looked gorgeous..

    The back of the dress is very beautiful and elegant especially when she walks..
    She looks effortlessly beautiful with her facial features and her earrings looked perfect for the dress..

    and Miley’s dress wasn’t that bad either..,
    I mean..,
    if you were 16 going to oscars, what would you wear..??
    I mean last year she looked a little too old.., but I think this year she looked fresh..
    I mean she’s 16 and to be honest don’t really like her but I just think she looked better.

    I just want to give u some of my ideas., why dont you post something like..,
    what dress that you think miley should have worn for the oscars.., like “WHAT SHOULD SHE HAD WORN?” kinda stuff..
    I’m so curious with your choice..,
    and I have to say you got great style FC..

    Thank for your amazing blog..

    It was such a disappointing night. No one wowed me. Absolutely no one.

    Jessica Biel – Up for the Worst Dressed of the Year. Did you see the part where she was up on the stage presenting? She couldn’t even WALK in that dress. It was so tragic.
    Beyonce – I’m so uncomfortable just looking at her. Eeek.
    Evan Rachel Wood – Palette of that entire collection is SO wrong for her.
    Amy Adams – Looks even worse on still pictures. Hate that necklace with it, too. The dress was obviously really uncomfortable to sit in. She spent the whole evening leaning on the side in her seat, to get some air.
    Miley Cyrus – Well, if her mother thinks it’s okay for a 16-year-old to get breast implants (those are SO fake!) then I can see where she’s coming from by letting her wear dresses like those.
    Kate Winslet – This awards season proved us (and not the first time either!) that Kate’s got no style and/or fashion sense AT ALL. Thank God she is a beautiful, talented woman, though. I guess better that than being a talent-less fashionista. Sometimes you can’t get both.
    Amanda Seyfried – What’s to like about THAT? Horrible dress, made even worse with those straps… And look the way she poses in it. WTF?!
    Completely agreed about Alicia, Melissa and Heidi.
    Angelina Jolie – BORING. I have to say, though, that in spite of the boring her green earrings and ring were lovely and she looked beautiful. (Which is more than I can say for Anne Hathaway.)

    If anything, this proves that Beyonce is a good daughter. I mean, the only SANE reason I can think of for her to wear this dress out in public is if she were doing it to show support for her mom’s clothing line.
