I was a tad under-whelmed with the fashion last night to be honest. Other than a few looks that I liked, most were just, well, fine. There wasn't anything that made me wanna punch myself in the face with fashion porn envy-(except for maybe Elizabeth Banks' outfit at the after party, but I feel like that can't really count b/c it wasn't an "Oscar" look per se).
The after party looks were a lot better (as they tend to be) b/c there is less pressure and scrutiny on the actresses so I feel like they opt for the cooler, riskier fashion choices. I just wish they would opt for those looks for the ceremony proper, instead of saving it all up for those after parties.
If you've been reading my blog long enough, you know that all of my favourite red carpet Oscar looks are courtesy of Cate Blanchett, who in my opinion can DO NO WRONG Re: the fashion. To be honest, had this dress (by Armani Privé) been on someone else, I wouldn't have liked it as much, but on Cate, who is so elegant and interesting in her fashion choices, I really like it. And also, it's the colour sea-foam which I love (and reminds me of All Apologies by Nirvana, so clearly, that's an added bonus).
Next up is Charlotte Ramping in this Armani Privé dress (I guess I'm really into Armani lately?) I love this so much. I'm a sucker for a pocket on a dress (even if in this case they are on the boobs). And seriously, long sleeves are vastly under-rated. Love the earrings, and the fact that she cut her own hair before the ceremony (b/c she thought it was an inch too long). The only thing that would have made it better is if the ballet slipper shoe was truly a flat (instead of a tiny heel).
I surprisingly liked this Marchesa dress on Chrissy Teigen. Surprising because I normally ABHOR everything Marchesa (look at what Heidi Klum wore last night for an example). I suspect that my like for this outfit has more to do with my love of Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, than the actual dress, but I'm fine with that. It's hard to do pregnancy red carpet fashion well, so kudos (and they had to sew her belly into the dress which is super cute!)
So this pick might be a bit controversial (as I've already read the WWF belt comparisons online) but I really like what Sunrise Coigney (Mark Ruffalo's wife) wore last night-I can't figure out who the designer is...But, Come on! that belt is way better than whatever the hell Brie Larson tied around that blue dress last night! I actually have no clue why I like this (I know it is sort of objectively tacky) but I'm into it.
This Ralph and Russo caped jumpsuit is the most beautiful thing I've seen in FOREVER. I love this so much it hurts. Elizabeth Banks is on top her game.
My favourite overall look of the night though? Saoirse Ronan in Calvin Klein. Great hair and make up, the colour is beautiful on her, and earring game on point! She looks fantastic!

Nailed it, we have the same fave. I cannot love that mismatched earring style even one iota more. I normally find Calvin Klein boring, but this was a spectacular exception!!
