Do You Like This Story?

It’s Oscars day! And we’re so pumped about it we decided to have a party. Join us on Twitter here and follow the hashtag #MMOscars – for live red carpet updates of the weird, wonderful and wtf frocks. And as always, we’ll be updating our fashion gallery below as the stars arrive.

The Academy Awards are probably one of the most anticipated style events of the year, it was 12 months ago Angelina Jolie flashed her right leg and we’re still talking about it. As for the frocks, we’re expecting to see dresses with crotch splits, cut-outs and we’ll be really disappointed if there is no sideboob, frontalboob or windowboob.

And if that’s not enough to sate your appetite for Academy Awards glamour, then you’re in luck – because we have the best of the Oscars after parties right here. Click through the gallery below for pictures from the Vanity Fair party and the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Award Party.

    Underwhelmed completely (Nicole looked nice)
    Who the F was that host? Never heard of him and I’m not surprised, he was awful. Awful.

    And Melissa McCarthy – she looks like when a kid puts on adult clothes. Totally ridiculous. Octavia Spencer (another larger woman) looked beautiful in her gown.

    Some amazing dresses but unfortunately it seems Hollywood only knows how to style small sized women because whoever chose that dress for Melissa McCarthy really failed! BIGTIME! There is nothing nice about the dress and the way it sat on her body at all. I am a larger lady myself and could do a way better job. Hmmm is there a calling out there for me? Well highly doubtful as she was the only real plus size person in the gallery.

    Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are just the cutest couple on the red carpet. So loved up! And I feel like maybe I’m just being a boring old Nanna, but I didn’t like Seth MacFarlane – I mean, if you’re going to sing a whole song about boobies, can’t we at least get one penis verse for good measure? Am I the only one that isn’t a fan?

    Nicole: WOW! I miss your red hair, though.

    Jane Fonda: love your outfit!! Not enough yellow on Red Carpets IMHO

    Adele: I loved the red dress you wore to the Grammys, more of that please!

    Renee Z: you are looking much healthier which is great – you got too too too skinny for a bit there.

    Jennifer A: I agree with previous commenter, do something different with your hair please! You have a lovely face, and we’d like to see it better. And your dress was way too “bottom heavy”

    That is all. As you were.

    There were no dresses that absolutely made me melt, but a few stood out:
    - Loved the colour of Jen Aniston’s dress but I thought it was a bit big and ballgowny given that she’s not a nominee. It looked great on her though.
    - Naomi Watts looked stunning (divine hair) but I personally like her in softer colours.
    - Loved the shape of Jennifer Lawrence’s dress but the colour was a bit “meh”.
    - Anne Hathaway was just altogether “meh”!
    - I actually thought Queen Latifah looked amazing, haha.

    Not featured in the mamamia gallery but the WTF award should go to Brandi Glanville of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fame.

    Her dress is at least 2 sizes too small.

    Love Nicole & Naomi’s outfits.

    Love Jane Fonda’ outfit. I can imagine Quentin Bryce wearing a similiar outfit.

    Love Kelly Rowland’s outfit – its such a unusual design.

    Deborah Furness should ditch the black and go for a bit of colour and something less masculine.

    Helena Bonham-Carter – such a beautiful woman with beautiful skin but the worst dress sense.

    George Clooney is looking old.

    Love Melissa McCarthy but whoever styled her should be out of a job. Bad fabric, bad fit, bad hair.

    Best – Jessica Chastain, she looks stunning, the hair, the make up, the dress, it’s all perfection. I hope she wins, loved her in Zero Dark Thirty and that little gold statue would complement her outfit perfectly.

    Naomi Watts looks amazing, I was expecting her to show up in something a little more classic and safe (read boring) but this dress is a knock out.

    I like Hally Berry’s look too, it’s not as safe and as predictable as some of the others.

    Charlize Theron never gets it wrong, does she? She is one of those people who could wear a garbage bag and still look drop dead gorgeous.

    The absolute worst has to be Anne Hathaway, I don’t know what she was thinking wearing that. She looks like a bridesmaid from the 90s, just awful.

    Adele always looks the same, I feel like we’ve seen her wear that exact same dress so many times already.

    The same could be said for Jennifer Aniston, I really wish she would do something different with her hair, she’s had that same hair style since she was Rachel. Would it kill her to wear her hair in a different style at least once a year, like when attending the Oscars maybe.

        Yeah, but I don’t think she’s ever pulled the blonde thing off very well. Where other Hollywood blondes are bouncy and shiny, Nicole’s looks over-processed and washed-out. I think her hair would look a lot healthier if she went back to red. But hey, she obviously prefers to be blonde, so… Whatever. It’s her head.

    Seen it before Renee and Reese. I don’t understand Deborah Lee Furness’s style at all! Access to the best and its the same old suits that make her look masculine. Why? Loved loved Naomi and Stacey Kiebler. Zoe Saldana looked terribly emaciated in her dress. One of Helen Bonham Carter’s better choices! And Jackie looks classy and elegant. Look out Helen Mirren.

      Poor old Renee, she hasn’t a clue, has she. Unfortunately for her she’s a very plain girl but rarely enhances herself. Pale skin, totally unflattering dress both in colour and style. And bad hair. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her look good. Pity, she’s a terrific actress.

      And Nicole’s boobs just keep getting bigger and bigger!

      Sorry, but I think if you are wearing diamonds worth hundreds of thousands of dollars around your neck, you would be wearing a strapless dress to show them off.

      My only critique for this year’s Oscars is that some dresses are suffering ‘Excessive Material Syndrome’ and look ridiculous. Looking at you Jen for starters.

        I agree. But you’ll notice most of them aren’t wearing necklaces. Jennifer Lawrence would KILL a gorgeous necklace with that dress!

        • fifi-lulu

          Point taken. I had a look through again and noticed a lot are not wearing flashy diamond necklaces.

          The thing is Jen Lawrence’s dress has waaaay too much fabric on the bottom half, maybe a flash necklace could have taken the emphasis off the bottom which looks like a giant octopus is holding it up with its tentacles. Another example of ‘EMS’.

          Couture does not necessarily mean stylish is just means custom-made or designed to order. She got it wrong, and so did Jacki Weaver – from a distance it looks like she has a print printed over her boobs and that the actual dress starts under her bust. I had to do a double take.

    My favourites so far have been Jessica Chastain, Olivia Munn, and Naomi Watts.

    I love Melissa McCarthy but she needs a new stylist. Her dress looks like it was made out of tracksuit material.

    Anne Hathaway looks like she’s wearing my Bat Mitzvah dress from 1997. It’s a bit boring for the Academy Awards.

    Hollywood glamour girl of the awards goes to Jessica Chastain. The colour of the dress and the ruby red lips brings such warmth to her look. In comparison, Amy Adams just looks washed out in pale grey and nude makeup. Reece’s bodycon dress looks stylish and classic for a new mum, however I would’ve loved a colourful lip. Her makeup is just too pale! Did anyone say pale? Queen of ‘pale’ is Anne Hathaway – very Audrey Hepburn, but too safe and too light!

    Love Nicole and Naomi’s (especially Naomi’s) glittery dresses – a bit Country Music Awards, but striking and love how they’re not safe! Jennifer Aniston…hmm, at least it’s not her failsafe black, but would’ve loved her to show off her fab body in something figure hugging. She’s kind of lost in that full skirt.

    OK I’ll just get off my soap box now. As if I can talk (no make-up on and wiping crumbs off my chest as we speak)!
