Oscar: Glitz and glamour

Oscar is over and so is the thrill. But we are left with some funny and amazing moments. It’s obviously exciting to catch all the ‘red-carpet’ people under one roof. It’s not just for the heck of Hollywood love. But for all the glitz and glamour! Well, if not for guys, atleast I feel that way.

From the crude comedy of Seth Macfarlane to the random salute to James Bond to the surprise appearance of the First Lady, the Oscar had it all. Yes, it did face a thumb down. But again, what’s an ‘event’ without some drama!

But I’m not here to get into that. What I’m interested to talk about is- who wore ‘who’, what made some steal the show and what made us feel the excitement.

Who wore ‘who’ and how they stole the show- As much as I’m interested in all the glitzy affairs the celebrities go through, I think they sometimes get underrated. It’s kinda less about them, more about the dresses. Innit?

But who cares? We are anyway more interested in dresses.

So, here are the details:

(I’m only mentioning my favourites :P and of course those who won :))

Jennifer Aniston: A red Valentino Couture spring 2013 gown (which made her feel princess-ly, as she said) with Fred Leighton jewels, a Salvatore Ferragamo clutch and the diamond engagement ring that fiancé Justin Theroux designed. She avoided any hair-do and stayed with her the famous ’Rachel Greene’ style as she didn’t want to Disney-fy the whole apparel. Smart choice, Jen.

Anne Hathaway: A pink Prada. Well, that turned out to be a disaster. Though she was supposed to wear a Valentino that pretty looks like Amanda Seyfried’s Alexander McQueen dress, but she ditched it. Whatever they call, but I kinda liked her dress. As she defined ‘business in the front, party in the back’. Totally, Anne.

Kristine Stewart: Nuh-uh. Not my favourite. But because of the unusual accessory that she flaunted- crutches. So, except crutches, she wore a Reem Acra dress with one Jimmy Choo heel, one Bloch shoe, and Fred Leighton jewels...and messy hair. Reminds of her Twilight ball party with Edward? Huh?

Jessica Chastain: Most girls dream about their wedding dresses, but Jessica Chastain dream about her Oscar dresses. So, it had got to be right. She wore an Armani Prive gown that complemented her curves.

Jennifer Lawrence: And here’s the #BestDressed. (according to Twitter) She looked amazing in her ChristianDior gown with Brian Atwood shoes, and a Roger Vivier clutch. Fabulous! She definitely stole the show.

 Plus or minus whatever, but they did walk the red carpet with élan. And that’s what made us feel the excitement except the Academy Awards, of course. But there’s one more thing that kept our momentum up. And that’s what I’m going to write about in my next piece.

Until later,
