I can’t help myself. I seriously love me some award season fashion. I may have a little Instagram post saying that award season is better than football season, and my husband told me to hand over my house key. Hahaha! I really do have a thing for fashion, and it is so much fun for me to watch that part of the award shows. Despite the craziness of Moonlight winning Best Picture after a pretty unfortunate mix-up with La La Land, the fashion was one of the best parts of the Academy Awards on Sunday.
I’m a long-time fashion lover, and I know there’s a few of you who read this blog that are like me and love it too. So, here are my favorite looks from the awards ceremony and the Vanity Fair after party.
Golden Girls-
I really loved Emma Stone’s dress. The Fashion Police weren’t so impressed, but I’m loving that fringe, and I think she looks like she deserved that golden statue to match her golden dress. Her hair and makeup were so beautiful. I love that lip color on her. 
I thought Jessica Biel’s dress was so interesting (and not in a Ryan Seacrest think’s Dakota Johnson’s dress is interesting kind of way). What I loved most about the look was the BANANAS Tiffany necklace she layered over the top. I don’t love her hair…I actually really don’t like it, but that necklace…It was my favorite accessory of the night.
Another Golden Goddess was Nicole Kidman. She was just beautiful. Her whole look was so well put together. I loved the lip color against the neutral canvas and also loved the tiny pop of color from those earrings.
On to the dark side-
Janelle Monae. I wanted to be like, come on, this is so stupid, how is she going to sit down, it’s too much, this whole fashion is art thing is so dumb. But I LOVED this. She is such a beautiful girl, and this dress! It just works! Stunning! 
Brie Larson’s Oscar de la Renta gown was so lovely. I really like the ruffles down the front and the points of the neckline. I didn’t love her hair, and maybe the dress was too heavy for such a little frame, but I can’t help it. I want to wear this dress right into the Cracker Barrel to eat my meatloaf dinner on a regular Monday night. Oscar de la Renta is one of those designers that can do no wrong in my eyes. So, I really loved this dress. 
And then there was Taraji. Holy Cow! She looks the best she’s looked all award season, and I was really crushing on that gown she wore to the SAG Awards. But this topped that! Maybe she over-contoured her cleavage, but she still looked stunning.
Ladies in Red- 
Viola Davis was a big winner this year, and I can’t wait to see Fences. She’s another one that has looked flawless all award season long. But she looked positively radiant in this bright red. I love how her deep skin tone is paired with bright and bold colors. Her hair, makeup, and accessories were perfect as well. 
Okay, another one The Fashion Police didn’t like was Ruth Negga. But I thought this was just so pretty and feminine. I think the red looked gorgeous on her, and I really liked her hair and bold lip as well.
Beautiful Girls- 
Another one I thought was just so elegant was Isabelle Huppert. She is of a more mature age, and her dress was just so chic. I felt like there was a bit of a 70’s vibe going on, which I love. But she was simply beautiful. And she had these ear crawlers going on which gave it a little edge that I kind of loved. 
I really wanted to hate this look. I do NOT like a short dress for the Oscars. I just feel like it’s the most prestigious award show in America, and I think you should dress the part. But I couldn’t hate it. I loved how it shined and I like the cut out. I still don’t like the shortness of it, but I do like the structure of the dress and how it is cut, I guess. I like the bluntness of the high-low factor. And those shoes, y’all. I loved the mismatched shoes. But I kind of wish they had been peaking out from behind a long hem with a high slit or something. Naomi Harris is an incredibly beautiful woman and wore the dress flawlessly. I can’t wait to see her in Moonlight. 
And y’all….Hailee Steinfeld. It was a bit sheer for me while she was being photographed and filmed on the carpet, but on stage I didn’t get that it was that sheer. Regardless, the sweetness, the softness, the ethereal feel I get from this dress is just….ahh. I mean, it is amazing. And the ruffles down the back. I have no words. Her hair was so pretty, and I really loved the smokey eye against the femininity of the dress. Everything was just so good! Also, can we take a moment to appreciate how drop dead gorgeous she is? Beautiful!
Party People- 
Ruth Negga knocked it out of the park for me again at the Vanity Fair party. I believe this again is Oscar de la Renta. (See? Can do no wrong.) I thought it was sparkly to perfection and just fun. What a great dress for partying the night away. 
I’m not sure what exactly it was about Amy Adams’ dress that I loved, but I did. Maybe it’s that shine factor, but I thought she just looked lovely. The color was good for her, and I loved her hair. Overall, a simple yet stunning look. 
I can’t talk about Oscars fashion and not mention the lady that made even the non-pregnant girls feel like they couldn’t measure up. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. That’s all I have to say about that one. 
Perhaps my favorite party look was Elizabeth Banks. She looked so incredible. I loved everything about this dress down to the birds, which isn’t usually my thing, but this was so pretty. I loved the belt they added and the jeweled straps of the dress. And those shoes…more heart eyes. I mean, look at that heel! So, so good!
Any of you agree? Disagree? Did I leave someone out that you liked? Let me know in the comments. We can gab some more about Oscar Night Fashion. 🙂
