Couture on the Carpet
Alert the fashion police, please.
Why was Tilda Swinton dressed like a one-winged bat? Even the chunky diamond bracelet failed to detract from the ugliness of her gown.
Another monstrosity was the one worn by Rebecca Miller, wife of Daniel Day-Lewis. Black velvet bodice, red bows, and two humongous accents of black crystal. She looked like a Christmas gift-wrap gone horribly wrong. The hideousness of her striped shoes matched that of her husband's brown suede ones.
Then, of course, there was Julie Christie who probably stole the Queen's drapes to make herself a dress. Also, her gloves were not only tacky, but didn't even go with the style of her "garment." (I simply can't get myself to refer to that as a "dress" the second time around).
Mary Hart was probably hoping to bag the title of Little Miss Sunshine. Either that, or she fell in a tub of butter on her way to the Kodak Theater. Too much yellow, lady. And far too many pleats.
The best-dressed (and my favourite gowns), in no particular order were: Nicole Kidman, Renée Zellweger (a tad too glittery for my taste but still stylish), Diane Lane, Vanessa Paradis, and Katherine Hiegl. Elegant, feminine, and superbly styled.
Oh, and on a slightly different note, someone needs to check Colin Farrell for fleas and then scrub him clean with a strong disinfectant. Ick.
