and the Oscar goes too...

per usual the oscars were full on fabulous and LONG...
but even better than that was the pizza
i mean ellen, what isn't to love about her?!
ugh, she killed it and then some.

so tell me... did you watch? did you win? 
(well in your very own ballot, that is)
did you throw a small gathering with friends and have a fun little oscar party?!
(don't forget to send me your pics so i can see!)

as far as the red carpet glamour goes i scaled back a bit this year!
last year i brought you 30+ photos in a facebook album 
instead of loving hair over dress and thinking some jewels over powered a dress
this year i picked my faves in categories shared via insta
take a look...

top in color:
kerri washington in jason wu
louise roe in pronovias
amy adams in gucci

 top in beaded:
 jessica biel in chanel
jennifer garner in oscar de la renta
angelina jolie in elie saab

top in black:
emma watson in vera wang
charlize theron in dior
julia roberts in givenchy

 top in white:
naomi watts (last years best) in calvin klein
portia de rossi in naeem khan

there are some of my favorites but you must be wondering who number one is...
i have to tell you, there is always one who knocks it out of the park
best hair, best jewels, best dress 
simply the most stunning
and this year, i had TWO!

sandra bullock in alexander mcqueen

 

the side swept curls
the minimalism but bold needs of the jewels
leaving the dresses intricate ruching and draping to be the star
the navy on her couldn't have been any better especially since she is brunette

kate hudson in atelier versace

simply stunning with side swept curls
looking like old hollywood glamour and then some
the beading is so delicate - that cape adds such drama
unlike the other "paler" actresses this white didn't wash her out at all

gasp: 
where are the ladies who won you asked me
well here's how they fell...

 lupita n’yongo in prada
 had the color of the carpet
however the dress was not my favorite. 

cate blanchett in armani 
looked amazing (right off the runway)
 but the color muted her out too much for me. 
her chopard jewels on the other hand!

i know you are probably very surprised i kept it shorter this year
i didn't have much fashion to HATE!

hope you liked my picks
 let me know what you think about my choices 
& share yours too! <3
