Sandpaper Chic at the 2012 Oscars

Kristen Wiig's mother clearly did not read Color Me Beautiful to her before she went to sleep like my mother did.  The funny lady has worn a different variation of nude to the last 4 awards shows.  As I've written before, Jane wouldn’t let a pale pink or off-white shade near me during the 80’s and 90’s.  My “color personality” is a “cool winter” and I should be wearing “subtle” colors like fire engine red, fuchsia and royal purple. Kristen should really have Jane do her color wheel for her. 

I always have very strong feelings about Gwyneth.  She's one of those celebs that irritates me beyond belief some days, and on other days I kind of love her.  I have a really hard time with her whole cooking show, Goop website & singing activities.  But this Tom Ford ensemble makes me want to freak out from fashion excitement. I honestly think it's my favorite red carpet dress ever.

Ugh, I don't care if you're a size 2 or 22, this dress is awful.  This frock is what fancy women wear while they do their makeup and sit at their vanity before they put on their actual dress.

Who are you? Not sure, but I'm still going to judge your outfit. I keep going back in forth on this look. I love the structured jacket, the belt and the multi-tiered skirt. But, would this look better on someone in Betty White's age range? It would also make a great mother of the bride gown.

I love Rooney Mara. I loved Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and I love a little edge on the red carpet.  I usually hate bangs, but I'm coveting hers.


A few other observations: The peplum look is blowing up, Angelina & Brad look like wax versions of themselves and Giuliana Rancic killed it.  I was also excited to see Decades owner Cameron Silver sitting with the E gals cuz I met him at a party once.  Sorry, I had to throw that in there.
