Red Carpet Road Kill

Question?




When did it become acceptable for publicists to walk the Red Carpet?????



Surely the honor of being recognised by the Academy for your talents, on and behind screen, is reserved only for the stars and their respectable crew members!!






Walking the Red Carpet is a privilege and a glamorous Run Way show..isn't it??





..So why was I glued to E TV watching in complete horror as publicists to the stars stood by with paperwork in-hand, and texting or tweeting whilst their key talents were being interviewed by Ryan Secrest???...it was a very very bad look, most had not even attempted to cover their identity and dress elegantly to fit in..






...and there we have it.. Red Carpet ROAD KILL!!







So about the Oscars... was it the Red Carpet I was hoping for???




Sadly, not really. As far as I am concerned, Red Carpet means 2 words: Elegant Glamour, and there were just a special few who did it well.




Elegant: Gown should be full floor length with drapery, and hold a certain demure quality.. NO Cleavage.




Glamour: Gown should display a sense of Drama for the occasion: Colour, Jewels, Silhouette...All should be tastefully executed!






As I said, not everyone was a disaster, there were 4 ladies who got it very very right. These Standouts were:




Sandra Bullock

Sandra was representative of her on screen performance BRILLIANT! The Hair, the lips, the dress.... a true golden girl and picture perfect.






Merly Streep

The timeless classic look was breathtaking. The choice of dress was Elegant, Fresh and Ravishing. Simply beautiful.





Maggie Gyllanhaal

Always wears colour in the most spectacular way. She opted for the watermark pattern, a brave decision, yet worked stunningly well. she was radiant and vibrant and a stand out on the Red Carpet.



Paula Patton

Pregnant??? Have you ever seen a more beautiful mum-to-be?? The colour, the silhouette, the Glamour.. this is what we were waiting for!! Paula, you were hot!!!



There were some Trends on the carpet - these were:

• Bejeweled Bodices and Bustiers
  


• Jeweled appliques and feature embellishments

• Fish Tails and sleeves

• Feathery handkerchief skirted detail
  


• Tones of Greys and Silvers

Disasters of the evening were:

• A classic case of "she didn't were the dress, the dress wore her" Jenifer Lopez


• Charlize Theron - 2 toned rosette bust detail and way too much fabric.


• Dresses which were too tight with pulling lines Kathryn Bigelow


• Miley and Trish Cyrus.

looking forward to next year's big day.. I'm certian it will be a more glamorous affair..
