Red Carpet Disasters

There were some real fashion faux pas on Oscars night, and some are regular offenders in the fashion disaster stakes.

Mickey Rourke has been a constant on the “err what the hell are you wearing” list, and even being nominated for the best actor award for film, The Wrestler did not deter him from keeping up his not so great appearance.

Wearing a John Paul Gautier cream tuxedo, with an open shirt, and wait for it NO TIE, paid tribute to his beloved Chihuahua, Loki who sadly passed away earlier in the week.

The kooky star, who adorned his neck with a pendant with Loki’s face on it, fondly remembered the 18-year-old pooch. ..Hmm strange!

The necklace was made by Queens resident, Bettina Wasserman.

The 44 year old who describes herself as a chick who just sells her jewellery at craft fairs and flea markets couldn’t believe it when Rourke personal called her to thank her for to necklace.

She said: ““Mr. Rourke actually took time out of his busy schedule to call and thank me personally. I was shocked.  Imagine how busy he must have been with the Oscars around the corner. I honestly do not believe that would have happened if it had been anyone other than Mickey Rourke.”

Organisers were concerned about what Rourke would say in his acceptance speech if he was crowned best actor, especially after his explicate laden speech at the Baftas.

Rourke, said: “I don’t know what’s going to come out of my mouth.”

I’m more worried what’s going to be coming out of your wardrobe, Mickey!

Tilda Swinton has always been a little bit quirky with her look and androgynous frame, but urgh what is she wearing!

In a Lavin skirt and top…yes they are separates, and yes she certainly does look a red carpet disaster.

Tilda, you may as well wear a bin bag, you’d look more interesting!

Lavin or bin bag?

Amanda Seyfried, might have hosted the award with one hot actor, Rob Pattinson of Twilight fame, but what made her think she could get away with this frock!

This red Valentino gown does nothing for the up and coming star, who looks likes she’s been wrapped up in some left over scraps of satin, tied together with a pretty bow.

It's a wrap

Jessica Biel is one very pretty lady, but all I have to say to her in this white Prada dress is…Toga Toga Toga!

Toga Party?

Toga Party?

Last but most defiantly not least, Beyonce.

The singing sensation wore a House of Dereon couture gown  if you didn’t know its her own line.

The dress designed by Lorraine Schwartz, most defiantly doesn’t flatter her amazing figure.

Sorry to say Beyonce, but in that dress you would look more at home as a vase in a Caribbean hotel reception.

Head, shoulders, knees and toes anyone?

Red Carpet Hotties – Part Two

Wow, I really love this gorgeous Gustavo Cadile’s dress that Dancing with the Stars host, Samantha Harris is wearing! The blue really complements her skin and hair colour…. simply stunning!

Meryl Streep certainly showed some of the younger Hollywood actresses up. She looked fab in this floor length gown. Meryl certainly worked that red carpet, and looks like she loves every second of. Lets hope we see her nominated for many more awards in the future!

You rock Meryl!

The wonderful Meryl Streep

Jennifer Aniston turned up with on-off boyfriend, John Mayer.

The former friends star looked amazing in a Valentino couture gown that sparkled just as much as she did. Hmmm it’s got me wondering, are all these pregnancy rumors true Ms. Aniston?

Cream and White seemed to be the colour of the evening, and Penelope Cruz was another to follow the trend.

The gorgeous Penelope went all out in a vintage dress, which looks like it was made just for her…the lucky lady!

Luck was defiantly on her side last night as she picked up the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as Maria Elena in Vicky Christina Barcelona, the first time a Spanish actress has ever been given an Oscar in the category.

Vintage certainly works well for Penelope Cruz

Oh and just because I LOVE The Hills so much, I couldn’t pass on this opportunity to mention Lauren Conrad’s outfit at one of the Oscars after parties.

I just want her dress. It’s so sparkly!

Please Lauren can I have your dress?

Red Carpet Hotties – Part One

What a night the 2009 Oscar Awards Ceremony was for fashion!

There were some gorgeous outfits to be seen on the red carpet, but there were also some real disasters.

But lets start with the good, and what a better place to start than home grown talent, Kate Winslet.

The girl did us proud last night, by winning Best Actress for her role in The Reader, and boy she looked gorgeous in an Atelier Yves Saint Laurent, by Stefano Pilati dress.

This figure hugging number shows off Kate’s to die for curves and a look that’s hot this season, yes you guessed it, asymmetric will be a key trend for the season.

Oscar first timer, and star of eight times Oscar winner Slumdog Millionaire (which is a great film and if you haven’t seen it yet, get to your local cinema and go watch!) Frieda Pinto wore a royal blue, one shoulder Galliano gown.  Personally I’m not a huge fan of the one sleeve, but I forgive you Frieda!

The Mumbai-born actress denied any off –screen romance with co-star Dev Patel, who seemed to only have eyes for one woman last night…Angelina Jolie.

Now I personally love Dev Patel, but I think Brad Pitt might have something to say about him stealing his misses.

Talking about Brangelina, the couple looked the epitome of Hollywood elegance last night.  Angelina worn a simple but classic, Elie Saab dress, with a gorgeous pair of emerald Lorraine Schwartz drop earrings, but her outfit was topped off with a rather yummy piece of arm candy… Brad Pitt!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie - One very hot looking couple

I couldn’t fail to mention, Rob Pattinson….I HEART YOU ROB!

Fair enough he is only wearing a black tuxedo, but boy does he look hot!

Rob, of Harry Potter fame, and most recently playing EDWARD in Vampire film TWILIGHT, has seen his popularity rise, and I bet it will now have  grown even more!

I can’t wait to see more of him, in his new film, Little Ashes, which is due out in late spring, and Twilight sequel New Moon.

Oh…and if you haven’t seen the film yet, do, and read the series of books by Stephenie Meyer, and I guarantee you will fall in love with Edward too. (Yes I do know that Edward is a fictional character, but Rob will do fine!)

YUM!

Looking hot Rob!

Looking hot Rob!
