Oscar 2009 Loved the Bling

Hello all,



When you think red carpet fashion, think Bling! Bling dresses, bling necks, bling ears and bling wrists. Many of the dresses were fabulous and ladies that pulled off the goddess/princess look were soooo glamorous. Most colors were neutral cools and warms in champagne, ivory, slightly mint, silver, and gold but they were all embellished with beading, sparkles, tiers, bows,pleats and ruffles.

Looking fresh and beautiful were Natalie Portman and Alicia Keys who came out in lilac and pink. Frieda Pinto looked lovely in her one armed blue creation. There were a group of red gowns that were set off by some fabulous jewelry and of course the non-conformist Tilda Swindon in Lanvin separates.



Although far from my favorite dress of the evening. Heidi Klum was wearing a fabulous pair of earrings that hugged the face and were three inches long.



Penelope Cruz wore a vintage Pierre Balmain princess dress that was sixty years old. The vintage gowns are always fabulous. She wore a choker of diamonds that were sweet and perfect for the dress.



Marissa Tomei wore an ivory satin pleated Versace that was beautifully constructed which made her look like a goddess.



It was a beautiful evening hosted by a great host Hugh Jackman who is loaded with showmanship and personality. The gowns were inspirational and the jewelry was stunning.

The winners were terrific and my favorite quote was from Danny Boyle director of Slumdog who said it all...Thank you for letting me be Tigger!
