Fashionably Late Oscar Fashion

I am going to try to play this off like a fashionably late entrance to a party. You know, the one that starts at 7, but the really cool crowd doesn't show up until 9? No? You don't know that party? Me either. I am the one that gets there at 6:45 to help set up, but let's pretend anyway shall we?

The Oscars wrapped up a weeks ago now and I shamefully still don't have my Oscar Fashion post done - I have downloaded photos and have plenty of opinions popping around in my mind - so let's get cracking!

I am not going to feature everything here today - I want to highlight through several posts the best, the worst, some trends I saw, and who did it better at the parties than the show. I will also have posts detailing some leading ladies and their entire award-show-season looks.

For today, let's start with the trends and who wore them best!

1. Blush Pink

(Jada Pinkett-Smith, Penelope Cruz, Ellie Kemper, Laura Dern

But my Best of the Blush:

Camilla Alves.

How stunning is she in that dress? And the draping?! So much drama and class in one dress. Oscar Perfection.

2. Pedal to the metal - metallics!!

Lady Gaga (why was she there?), Jennifer Garner, Angelina Jolie, Miranda Kerr

Selena Gomez, Goldie Hawn, Julie Delpy, Jessica Biel

But my favorite ladies in metallic hues:

Rumor Willis (cause wow, girl looks good)

Kristen Chenoworth and Kate Hudson

Little Kristen looks like she should BE an Oscar and Kate just oooooooooozes old Hollywood glamour and sex appeal. Stunning.

3. Nude and white hues

Jenna Dewan-Tatum, Cate Blanchett, Kate Beckinsale, Sofia Vergara

All of them win. Just freaking gorgeous.

Naomi Watts, Calista Flockhart, Olivia Munn (committing some sort of awful crime against boobies in that dress)

4. Green Goddesses

June Squibb, Adele Nazeem (Idina Menzel), and Evan Rachel Wood

All stunners - but ERW may be my all-time favorite look of the entire night. I mean THAT is how you do the Oscars - and she wasn't even there! That's at the Vanity Fair party!

5. And finally - a LBD is a timeless, classic look:
