Oscar Fashion: 2015 Red Carpet

via CNN

I always look forward to the Red carpet's of award season. I'm forever excited to see the borrowed dresses of the most talented and famous designers in the world, the most expensive jewels on loan and what hard working stylists have come up with for their uber famous clients. Again with the Oscars I didn't see anything that was over the top amazing, but several lovely gowns. I do long for the days of authentic dressing and a lot less "entourage" influence when it comes to the choices of the celebrities.  Decades owner Cameron Silver came up with the best term, "UnManufactured Glamour" exactly what I think is missing in 'celebrity fashion' but that is an entirely different blog. Gone are the days of the truly chic and seemingly effortless starlet's who attended such affairs in dresses and jewels they actually owned and chose themselves. Without further adieu ....

Here are my nominees for BEST DRESSED at the 2015 Oscar's

Black Beauties

Margot Robbie wearing Saint Laurent & Vintage Van Cleef & Arpels Necklace

Nancy O'dell in  Gauri And Nainika gown

Kelly Osborne in Rita Vinieris

Reese Witherspoon in Tom Ford

Jennifer Lopez in Elie Saab Haute Couture 

Emma Stone also in Elie Saab

Best Party Dress

Dita Von Teese in Zuhair Murad

Best Detail

Gwyneth Paltrow in Ralph & Russo gown with this romantic floral detail that I somehow fell in love with. I liked the simple styling and the ruby accents from the MAJOR custom earrings.

Anna Hu Fire Phoenix earrings (priced at $425,000), consisting of two pear-shaped cabochon Rubellites set in white gold amid white-and-yellow diamonds; blue, pink and purple sapphires; spinels and paraiba tourmalines.

Best Jewelry

Emeralds stole the show for me last night.

 Dita Von Teese flashed her emeralds, signature manicure on Intagram (and some great dress detailing). Jewels by jewels by Doves by Doron Paloma and Leticia Linton.

Scarlet Johansen wearing an emerald & diamond Piaget ear cuff

Best Necklace is Vintage Van Cleef & Arpels, this piece was designed in 1938 for the Duchess of Windsor AKA Wallis Simpson. Gold, Diamond and Sapphire show stopper is worth a cool 1.5M and is dubbed the Zipper Necklace.

Who made your best dressed list?

ROCKIN' RORANGE

A HOT color that I LOVE for Summer 2011 is RORANGE ... a rich combination between Red and Orange; Not quite Crimson and not quite Rust. I have seen the color on the red carpet from celebs like Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston who usually sport a really Blah beige or a classic LBD's (Little Black Dresses). They are turning up the heat this season with Rockin' RORANGE

Nancy O'Dell @ 2011 Golden Globes

Can you ROCK RORANGE??

Tori STUNNING ... and other Oscar Fashion

All eyes are on the Academy Awards for the celebration of the best in cinema but the red carpet fashion has become as important as the winners of the actual awards! (more important to me personally)

Honestly the Red carpet was to me this year was in a word; UNDERWHELMING. I saw nothing over the top glam, minimal jewels, half done hair and no real sparkle and shine that we all have come to associate with this gala red carpet event.


However; I must give a standing ovation and a round of applauds to Tori Spelling for expressing her signature style in a Vintage GLAM look. The dress coupled with he hair, red lip, cocktail ring, clutch & shoes were that of a PROfashional! It takes a lot of Maven Moxie to wear vintage to a red (or in her case cream) carpet event. Especially because the press is so generic in their reporting when it comes to fashion in my humble opinion. Tori dresses for FASHION not for trends or what a stylist says. I have re-dubbed her Tori STUNNING XO




Was the dress from my eBoutique Evolution Vintage? YES (http://www.evolution-vintage.com/)

Did Tori "knock it out of the park" regardless where the dress was from? YES YES

So all the bias aside her look was my FAV! Tori, you get the LisaG PROFashional Oscar Award this year!
