2009 Oscar Fashion Verdict Part 1

Welcome to Brattyneelah and Moeru Hime’s first Fashion Verdict!  Today we’re going to talk about the 2009 Academy Awards red carpet.

As it is image heavy, will cut here and those really interested to read on click here … images borrowed from Red Carpet Fashion Awards …

RED CARPET

BRATTYNEELAH (BN):   I love black.  I love Angelina Jolie.  I love everything about this ensemble.  And the best accessory as they say, is Brad Pitt in her arms.

MOERU HIME (MH):  Angelina Jolie should be introduced to the color wheel.  There is a whole wide palet of colors other than the black, white and grey.  And even when she wears blue, it’s always a dark shade.  Has anyone ever seen Angelina Jolie in red?  Green?  Pink?  Purple?  Pastel?  I’m confident she will still look gorgeous in those colors, if only she tries.

VERDICT:  Nothing new.

BN: The dress is gorgeous and the color flatters her skin tone.  However, the make-up and the hair is too plain.  Amy Adams looks better with her hair down.  Especially with the bare shoulders.  I can actually imagine if she did.  And while she’s at it, throw away that hideous necklace.

MH: I have to agree.  There’s not much debate in this dress.  She’s gorgeous, and the dress is totally cute.  Amy Adams is cuter with her red hair down.

VERDICT:  The dress is her only salvation.

BN: I wish Amy Adams did the same thing with her hair.  Amanda Seyfield looks like a classic actress with her Betty Davis eyes.  Where can I get those necklace?  I want to have it.

MH: I don’t like the shoes.  It doesn’t complement the dress.  Her smile creeps me out here.  It’s sooo not cute at all.  I prefer the strapless version from the runway.

VERDICT:  And the winner is … the dress!

BH: Unlike Amy Adams, Alicia Keys should have had her hair up — especially with that earrings.  She should have worn a choker.  The dress is beautiful. Do they have a black version?

MH: I like the color on her.  She should have gone with purple-smoky-eyes make up.  Bratty?  Choker?  Seriously?  No!  She’d get a Fashion Police fine if she wore a choker.  A simple while/platinum/silver necklace with pendant would have added a touch.

VERDICT:   Disappointing.

BN: Leslie Mann looks like a disco ball.  Disco pole?  

MH:  I like her necklace.

VERDICT:  Hang her on the dance floor.

MH: Taraji P. Henson’s taste is impecable.  From head to toe, she picked the right article.  Even the red clutch didn’t look oddly out of place.

BN: I think if it was a gray clutch, it definitely would belong to the ensemble.  I can say, the necklace made the whole ensemble.

VERDICT: A rising star.

BH: I always thought that Heidi Klum can never make a mistake.  But this origami inspired dress doesn’t suit her at all — and the earrings and the hair didn’t help.  She also looks so old in this picture.

MH:  Well the ensemble doesn’t look bad.  It’s either she made the dress look good.  Or the dress made her look bad.

VERDICT: Confusing as origami.

MH: Now, this is a lady who has never made a bad choice in clothes — except for the Catwoman costume — and even that she made it look good.  

BN:  I dunno … I kinda like the Catwoman costume …

VERDICT:  A bright A-list star.

MH:  OMG! Kyaaaaaaahhh~~~  such a pretty pretty dress!!!

BN: Better on her than on the runway.  I’d say, Freida Pinto held her own among a star studded event even though she’s a newcomer.  

VERDICT:  Favorite!

MH:  Who is this?  Her skin is the same color as her dress. But I like her up do, make-up and accessories.

BN:  Remember the female lead in “Across The Universe?”  That’s her.

VERDICT:  Color is compulsory.

MH:  Oh … classic black again.  But everyone has to agree … they both look really gorgeous.  No miss in this one.

BN:  Yes, I’d have to agree.

VERDICT: Perfect!

MH: It’s not flattering for her body … and to think she has one of the best bodies in the industry.

BN:  I know … I mean, I’d rather look at her body than her face.  And to top it all, she totally becaem a shrimp in her up do.

VERDICT:  Sinigang na Hipon.

MH:  Can I say “Eeeew?”  Please somebody tell her to tell her mom not to design clothes like this.

BH:  Told  you she doesn’t have taste… even way back when there were four members of Destiny’s Child.  She has the worst choice of dress then.  And now.

VERDICT:  Never let your mom dress you up.  

MH:  Awwww … Kireii!!!

BH:  She knows how to dress up.

VERDICT: Princess, she is.

MH:  Classic look for a classic lady.

BN: The devil wears Alberta Ferretti … hehe …

VERDICT:  Classic!

BN:  I don’t know, something’s wrong with this dress — like, too much boobs?  But then again, despite being the queen of fashion in hollywood, I don’t like her taste in clothes.

MH: But it’s soooo pretty … She’s like a fairy tale princess.

VERDICT:  Wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.

BH:  The queen is in.  I’d like this more if she had her hair down with curls.  But the dress is gorgeous.

MH:  I think I’m running out of adjectives for fabolous … I don’t want to sound like a queen … if you know what I mean.

VERDICT:  God save our Queen Latifah!

BH:  Where did her tan go?

MH:  Yup, a bronzer would have made the dress stand out more … not that it’s not standing out.

VERDICT:   Pristine.
