Oscars 2012: The Fashion!

A photo of Meryl Streep

Can I tell you something? I was really, really underwhelmed by the dresses at last night’s Academy Awards. Like, I was seriously disappointed in everything. Usually there’s always something that I truly love, or something that is so awful that it’s fascinating. But no, it looks like this year, everyone decided to go for ensembles that were “pretty ok” or “kind of ugly, but whatever” instead. And that’s such a sad thing.

Here is a list of thoughts I had, accompanied by photos in the gallery below:

Gwyneth Paltrow wore a cape, and yes, she is totally serious about it.

– Even though I absolutely adore Melissa McCarthy, and even though I feel like I should love her dress, I don’t. At all.

– The same goes for Emma Stone. That is my girl right there, but I don’t know about that dress. Is it the color? Can redheads ever really pull off a red dress like this?

– Does Meryl Streep know what year it is?

– I know that Jenn said this earlier, but I cannot get enough of Angelina Jolie and her leg. It’s too much, I love it.

– LOOK AT THE DOG.

– I think my favorite dress is either Penelope Cruz‘s or Natalie Portman‘s. Neither is truly spectacular, but I don’t think I saw any dresses that I would actually call “spectacular.” And that is the tragedy of this year’s Oscars, isn’t it?

Check out the gallery, and be sure and let us know what your favorites were!

  • Well said. I have spent the better part of today looking for a jaw droppingly rad or jaw droppingly gross dress from last night (& this includes the after party snaps) & they are just not there. I think there may have been a couple of McQueen dresses that came close, but still, nothing amazing, nothing terrible either

  • When your thigh is the same size as your calf, you may want to start eating again Angelina. I’m very underwhelmed by all these dresses though. None of them have that wow factor you expect at the Oscars.
