Oscar Night Fashion - Hits and Misses
Author: Editor // Category: Entertainment, Photos, celebritiesSo the most fun part about watching the Oscars is of course scrutinizing the fashion choices of those much richer and more beautiful than the rest of us. Following are thoughts on the hits and misses of fashion on Hollywood’s biggest night.
Hits:
Kate Winslet
We love the way midnight blue bleeds into black and flows silkily over her form like liquid. The added detail of net lace and black florets adds an interesting detail.
Viola Davis

I buy the Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue every year; I own every single one. I was a little sad that this year’s would forego the usual mishmash of actors or actresses (the latter sometimes in lingerie, sometimes in evening gowns) for an inauguration cover (I get that Obama is our most Hollywood president yet, but won’t he be on the cover about 50 more times? I want my beauty shots of everyone named Kate/Cate or Jennifer, and an Outsiders reunion shot, including C. Thomas Howell!)
But I’ll still be buying this month’s issue, because I’m a sucker for tradition, and also because Annie Liebowitz has photographed some stunning actor/director collaborative photos. Here’s a look:
Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet
Darren Aronofsky and Mickey Rourke
Gus Van Sant and Sean Penn
Danny Boyle and Dev Patel
Penelope Cruz and Woody Allen
Nicole Kidman and Baz Luhrmann
Meryl Streep and Doubt director John Patrick Shanley
Heath Ledger and Christopher Nolan (this photo is a composite; the Ledger photo is from 2005 and the Nolan is from 2008. Still, very haunting.)
The portfolio closes with a shot of Clint Eastwood solo. You know, ’cause the man doesn’t need a muse or a leading man–he has himself.
