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,

My Favourite seven

I’m a girl and I love to accessorize myself. Ok. The second part I don’t do that often but I do love it. My love for accessories just gain momentum whenever I see Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow from F.R.I.N.D.S.) flaunting those big statement jewelleries and the flamboyant Serena (Blake Lively from Gossip Girl) donning anything and everything. And time and again it has impulsed me into buying those chunky pieces and other stuff.

So, here’s to my love for accessories. 

          

Some of my stuff that I bought some time back and some that I bought lately. A sneak peek! ;)

• These vintages sunglasses, I bought from Promod. It was an accidental buy. But after certain I started loving them way too much. I flaunted it quite a lot back then.

• I bought this neck-piece from Janpath (New Delhi) two years. As soon as I saw it hanging in the wall, there was a sudden urge to buy it. Sadly I never got a chance to wear it. I’m still in search of the perfect outfit with which it can go with.

• My first buy from Forever 21! Sigh! I've always loved it.

•  This is to my love for Eiffel Tower! I got it from Accesorize and wore it literally everyday for quite a while.

• My love for scarves grows more each day. I can wear them every day. This one I like particularly. It’s a silk scarf. I’ll call it a lucky buy as I managed to get it at just Rs. 150. You go there and they will quote it for Rs. 300 or so. Lucky, right. 

•  And these are my pretty pearl earrings from Hyderabadi Pearls. Now you see them in every other shop. These were a gift from a friend.

•  My love! I bought it just a week ago and I’m in absolute love with them. I wish I soon get a chance to don them.

So, these are my favourite seven. Feel free to comment if you like anything. And I would love to hear some of the shopping destinations where I can get some amazing accessories.

Love,
