Looks like the Housewives are all in desperate need of a stylist. Eva's dress was incredibly Barbie-esque, but I have always felt like I could fold her up and put her in my pocket anyway so maybe it was appropriate.
More importantly, why oh why must Amy Adams always age herself so much on the red carpet. She is so talented and adorable and I want to shake her when she dresses like she is 15 years older. Maybe it is just that "Enchanted" is the only movie my kid will watch so I see her every day and I empathize with her plight as a formerly animated individual.
I love looking at all the gorgeous dresses, but sometimes I miss the days before stylists when there were some real whackjobs out there. Like Cher in Bob Mackie at the '86 Oscars. The 'bads' do not even remotely approach that level of spectacular camp/tackiness...
Viola Davis looks absolutely stunning in that yellow. I'm not sure it feels 100% right for the season, but if I looked like that, I'd wear it every day.
I totally disagree with the analysis of Tina Fey's dress. There were multiple candid shots of her on the red carpet leading up to the event where she was tugging and pulling her dress every which way looking pained. Her breasts were cut horizontally and pushed out - like a quadro-boob. She looked terribly uncomfortable. I frowned at her and drank more wine, hoping to send her comfort vibes.
PS. Is there a cuter couple in the universe than Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter? You just know they get each other hot by talking about Uta Hagen.
I am saddened to report that I believe the earlier Blind Item regarding a certain maturing star caving to plastic surgery was, indeed, our Susan Sarandon.
In happier news, Kristin Scott Thomas, all kinds of YES.
@J.D.Regent: Yes, she had a facelift - but it's a good one, no?
And re: KST - I think she has overtaken Cate Blanchette (sp?) as the person I'd most like to look like, or failing that, steal their wardrobe. Also, I saw I've Loved You So Long last week, and her performance makes all the others this year (Jolie, Winslet, Streep) look like daytime TV hysteria. I just cannot believe she has not been nominated for an Oscar.
@J.D.Regent: Well, it's still on at The Angelika in NYC (I think. . . well, it was last week), but it has been out for a while, so you shouldn't have too long to wait for the DVD.
It's an intriguing story (if a little flawed, for me), but it's the performances that make it. Especially KST. I literally couldn't take my eyes of her when she was on-screen.
On the one hand, I'm very impressed with the vintage-1930's look hollywood has taken. Some of these ladies look better than ever. (winslet, v.davis, p.cruz)
But on the other hand, now the only two gowns I've owned for years now have become quite fashionable instead of originally antique. I don't WANNA be fashionable!

The simplicity and elegance of it, yet sexy figure, swoon.

Agreed. She looks stunning.

However, I'm very biased, in that she rubs me the wrong way. Plus, while I admit she is a beautiful woman, I don't understand the craze. At all.
