Academy Awards 2010 Worst Gowns

I was truly disappointed in some of the horrible gowns that I saw on the Red Carpet last Sunday. Some actresses are considered style icons; we usually depend on them to be fashion-forward in their mode of dress. I saw more amazing dresses than bad ones. But the bad ones were real zingers. I'll delve right in.

Here is Sarah Jessica Parker wearing Chanel Haute Couture. Only a pregnant woman should consider wearing this dress. What was Sarah thinking? In addition to disliking this sad dress, East Bay Girl acknowledges SJP as having the Worst Hair Do at the Oscars. The gigantic "bun" was the worst part of the look below:


The next freaky dress surprised me because Charlize Theron usually reminds me of like old Hollywood glamour; she statuesque and beautiful, but when I glance at the following dress by Christian Dior, Charlize appears to have hands over each of her breasts. I've always thought that Charlize could look fantastic in a gunny sack, and I would prefer to see her in one, instead of this dress. The fit is a bit strange around the hips and tummy as well.


I've had difficulty choosing my Worst Pick because I hate these four gowns equally. This next gown--and I use the term "gown" loosely because it resembles an architectural structure--received much praise from the Fashion Police. Maybe I should give it a couple points because I can imagine this dress on a Paris runway. This design by Armani Prive looks great from some angles, but dreadful from others. The fabric looks stiff and uncomfortable to me. The ladies of the Fashion Police seem enamored by Jennifer Lopez. I don't always appreciate her fashion choices, but kudos to Jennifer for taking a huge chance with this design.


I wish someone would tell Mariah Carey that less is more. She could truly be beautiful, if she'd use some restraint. East Bay Girl has a principle called the Asset Rule. Never show your legs and your breasts at the same time, especially if you're voluptuous. Thinner girls with less curves can wear both tighter and shorter clothes, but they should still follow the Asset Rule. Mariah would show much class if she'd cover up a little.


I will post my favorite gowns in the next blog.
