Older -- not necessarily a bad thing! ;D
Yes, it did make her look more mature, but I thought in an old-fashioned, wonderful Hollywood glamour way.
Anyway ~~ look what I found ~~ let the mad dishing begin!
www.eonline.com/photos/gallery.jsp?galleryUUID=4617#1 Angelina Jolie, looking as usual like a slightly crazed slut.
#3 Stacy Kiebler -- how many lamés had to die so she could have that dress?
#4 Viola Davis -- She looks great, the color of the dress works beautifully, especially with Davis's outrageously wonderful red hair. The style manages to be both elegant & fun. But my problem with these star dresses shows up here as well. What's with the breastical section? Make the bodice a little higher or something so these women don't all have to do the Bunny hunch to stay inside their dresses.
#5 Michelle Williams -- where to start? I admit she did wonders with that chenille bedspread & maybe some help from the bibbety-bobbety-boo godmothers. She is so overwhelmed by that dress she seems to be standing behind one of those joke cut-outs at the beach to have her picture made.
#6 Sandra Bullock looks supremely elegant, queenly even. The top could be a little more fitted, though, and she needs earrings.
#7 Cameron Diaz looks really good in that unforgiving dress -- quite nice, really. If she'd pulled her hair back, she could have achieved real elegance.
#8 Rooney Mara -- no, just no. The dress has intimation of great 30s glamour, but that bizarre bodice & Mara's terrible posture just defeat it.
#9 Emma Stone -- Christ, she looks like a puppy wrapped under the Christmas tree.
#10 Gwyneth Paltrow -- She looks stunning. The dress skirts the edge of 30s sci-fi queendom, but somehow just works perfectly on her.
#11 Jessica Chastain -- I adore the dress, absolutely adore it. Unfortunately it is wearing her, not vice versa. She could be very beautiful and dramatic, but not in that color combination.
#12 Jennifer Lopez -- No class, no class at all. She looks like some kind of figurine on top of an ice cream franchise.
#14 Penélope Cruz -- She looks perfect, totally perfect. This is the absolute best so far. The dress is so beautifully fitted & her look understated, yet just right. She & the odd color of the dress just glow.
#15 Octavia Spencer -- Her hair is nice and the dress
almost works. A lower neckline & less sleeve would have made her look dazzling.
#16 Natalie Portman -- I can't put my finger on what exactly is missing from that picture. The dress is fun, but I think it would have been improved with spaghetti straps or even a halter neck. The necklace is all wrong. A jet choker would have been great or maybe some red crystals -- anyway, something kickier.
#17 Kristen Wiig -- She's coming to my house to dust when the Oscars are over.
#18 Meryl Streep -- Love the color, hate the
bathrobe dress.
#19 Glenn Close -- Hooray for Hollywood! Fabulous look.
#21 Melissa McCarthy -- In the immortal words of my baby sister: "She couldn't look worse if she tried."
#22 Shailene Woodley -- I dunno ....... she looks as though she's getting ready to accept an Olympic medal or something.
#23 Bérénice Bejo -- Sheesh, someone needs to take that girl shopping! Judging from this hideous number & the one higher up in the thread, she has no taste whatsoever.
#25 Ellie Kemper -- Absolutely perfect look, a real winner!
#26 Rose Byrne is taking a night off from her dominatrix gig to attend the Oscars.
#27 Maya Rudolph -- an assault on the eyeballs. Yuck!
#28 Wendi McLendon-Covey -- she looks just-right in that!
#29 Annie Mumolo is wearing off-the-rack ugly.
#31 Judy Greer -- applause! slinky high glamour & wit, what more can you wish for on Oscar night?
#32 Missi Pyle -- Whoever is responsible for that color should be lined up next to whoever designed that monstrosity & shot. Shoot Missi, too, just because her name is stupid & she thinks she looks nice in that thing.
#33 Melissa Leo -- boringly demure
#34 Penelope Ann Miller -- great 40s bombshell look!
#35 Tina Fey is wearing the big yawn
#36 Kate Mara -- Little-girl dress with a Jayne Mansfield bodice. What's with the stupid thing hanging off of it? Stupid dress, stupid pose.
#37 Virginia Madsen -- the dress could be wonderful on someone, but not her.
#38 Anna Faris is The Insect Queen
#39 Milla Jovovich -- perfect hair, perfect make-up, and the dress would have been perfect if it didn't have that jarring shoulder pad stuck in it.
#40 Bingbing Li -- beautiful gown. She's lovely, but doesn't quite look old enough for that dress yet.
#41 Sarah Hyland -- another lovely girl who's stuck in a matronly colored, fussily frumpy dress.
#42 Busy Philipps -- having fun with her look. Nice dress, great shoes with it.
#43 Jane Seymour -- no, no, no. With that hair, she might be chomping gum behind the popcorn machine in the Woolworth's. The dress looks too big for her, making her look stringy. Even the shoes seem as though she couldn't be bothered to go find some that worked better with the dress.
#44 Kelly Ripa is so pretty. I can't say anything nasty about the dress except that it's a style I don't care for at all.
#45 Sherri Shepherd -- that dress is a beautiful color. The top of it is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen.
#46 Louise Roe -- I'm not sure what's wrong here. I think that dress needs a statelier woman to wear it, one who wouldn't need the shoulder pads.
#47 Kelly Osbourne -- when I forced myself to look again, I realized the dress kinda works on her. It's just that she ruined the whole look with that hair & the red lipstick.
#48 Giuliana Rancic -- a great look on her!
Okay, that's it for the time being unless someone else wants to rip through that lineup.
