Oscar Outfit Frenzy, Part Trois

Like I’ve said after last year’s Oscar’s, as well as after those of the years before, the only thing I find remotely amusing in the ceremony is the drapes that they call dresses. Some of them are just so fricking funny that I have a field-trip googling red-carpet attire the day after. Remember last year’s mermaid?

Fantastically enough for me, there are more gut-wrenchingly funny outfits this year than ever. 

And now, for the moment we’ve all been waiting for, Hollywood’s plastic wonder people. Presenting:

The Went-to-the-Oscars-

Drunk Group:


Miley Cirus (whoever she is) with the ugliest dress I have EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. Dude, I cannot think of a single good thing to say about this dress. The black and silver glitter clashes horribly with the nude-colored fabric. The tenticles grazing the red carpet look like they’re about to eat someone. The belt looks like something you’d find in downtown Egypt. Dude, where the hell did she find that?


Meen inta? Mfakerli 7alak Gus? Only Gus can pull off that look.

Wow. Who would have thought that Heidi Klum could look this bad? The material of the dress is an absolute disaster. It reminds me of my Barbie’s outfits when I was a kid, they used to shine with different colors from different angles. When I was 6, I thought that was sooooo cool. I don’t think it is anymore. Especially when it looks like it is the lining of the dress, and the real dress is still supposed to come.

Hahahahaha.

Hahahahahahahaha. You know the little wedding dresses with all the ruffles that little Arab girls who come to weddings wear? Well, this looks just like that.

That’s just ugly. Multi-GRADIENTs in one dress? Black and royal blue? Beads? Not cool.

Nicole Kindman finally figures out that she looks more like a mummy than a human being. White feathery stuff to accentuate her discovery. Thumbs up.

The Fire-Your-Stylist Group:


I actually really like the color of the dress. But that’s really about it. It looks like she wasn’t sure whether too dress classy or go all-out, and so she bought a dress that’s half this way and half that.
It’s pretty funny cause I’m imagining if the entire dress looked like the right side of it, it might not be too bad.

This probably should belong in the category above. She did, after all, steal my grandmother’s drapes to make it. But I think it’s pretty bold, which is why I’m not suggesting that Beyonce was drunk hen she chose the dress.

“Oh, God, wait. The dress is kind of boring, and it might as well be an abaya, I know I’m old and my flesh isn’t as sexy anymore, but what do you think of flipping the collar  of the dress inside out? Just a little? Oh, wow, now I look good baby, don’t I?”

Jessica Biel, which Nox claims in the hottest woman on earth, proves that she can be just as frumpy as the rest of us.

Yawn. We all already know that Sarah should have fired her stylist 10 years ago.

The Wow-You-Look-Good-


Tonight Group:


The dress is gorgeous. And Anne Hathaway does look gorgeous. But I think she’s dying to get married, cause the dress is really more of a wedding dress than a red-carpet dress. Plus, it’s kind of like last year’s fashion. But she still looks pretty good. Which is why she’s staying in this list.

Although that dress is playing it too safe, gotta admit that Angelina looks fantastic.

This is my favorite Oscar dress this year. Especially since it’s a prettier version of Kidman’s Chanel No5 dress. It’s so feminine and all the pieces fall just in the right place.

Another beautiful white dress, worn by beautiful actress, who also happens to think she’s attending her own wedding.

Yes, yes, I know this dress is severely hideous, but hey, it’s Whoopi Goldberg. It’s WHOOPI GOLDBERG, and her dress matches her name and her character. And that’s just cool.

I actually really like this dress. It’s simple and classy, and it fits Evan Rachel Wood so perfectly.

It took me a while to decide whether I like this dress or not. In the end, I decided that although it’s not a particularly nice dress, it really does make her look good. And different from everyone else.

    Well I agree with you on Evan Rachel wood, Anne Hathaway and Penelope,
    but it didnt really look like a wedding dress :P
    its a 60 year old, vintage Balmain dress!
    Angelina’s looked nice, but I thought she could have done ALOT better…
    I didnt like Miley’s dress at all either, it was Zuhair Murad.
    but i wonder how, Reese and Heidi made it to some best-dressed lists!

    anti-spam word: ‘toz’ LOL!

    Roba, your list is a must-see after every Oscar night. In fact, it is the ONLY site I look forward to seeing the best and worst :)

    Penelope is the only thing that saved the skirt of that vintage Balmain dress frock from looking like MY grandmother’s curtains. The bodice was lovely, though.

    Tilda Swinton was on par with Meryl Streep, but at least this year she added lipstick.

  • Nox

    It was Jessica Alba
    And Nox Watch changed to Adriana Lima – 12 issues ago
    Coming soon: Megan Fox watch

    Some dresses looked good, some of them looked bad, but I’m sure all these actresses would have looked better without any at all

    (I get to make some PG-13 jokes here right?)

  • Noura

    Great list, though I liked Mickey Rourkes look, very… umm.. well, him! -Gus too-, my favourite would have to be Evan Rachel Wood.

    7aki Fadi, Gus akatkat sa7?

    Styloholic, Miley’s dress was Zuheir Murad? Wow. That’s absolutely disappointing. I thought he was better!

    Kinzi, thanks darling! Tilda Swinton is always scary looking, but that’s perhaps from my Narnia images of her.

    Hareega, you in particular can get to do any kinds of jokes you want here. You were, afterall, one of my first ever readers!

    Noura, who is Mickey Rourkes anyway? I just think he wears it with too much cowboy attitude. Is he a cowboy?

    Did you see Amy Adams? Although I didn’t find the dress great, I absolutely loved her necklace.

  • Gus

    Hahahah! ba7ibik, Roba!

  • Bardees

    Roba, Angelina’s dress was Elie Saab ‘s by the way! cool right?
    I liked Taraji’s dress too ,she looks so cute . and of course Peneloppe’s dress and Anne’s too.
    I liked Evan Rachel’s dress design although the color is too close to her own skin color!
    and I thought Reese’s dress was not bad and did not belong to the drunk group!

  • http://www.anolitasmind.com Khalidah

    Cool list Roba and I agree with you on most of it

    I also agree with Farah that Amy Adam’s dress was not that great but the necklace was amazing

    Natalie Portman had a very nice gown this year and Marissa Tomei had a strangely good looking Versaci dress and she topped it with a simple hair style and makeup which made her stand out.

    I thought that Kate Winslet could have done better but it was not bad and Jennifer Aniston looked stunning in a cream white dress and she handled herself pretty good given that it was her first encounter with Branjilina ;)
