The 84th Academy Awards Ceremony

   This last Sunday the eyes of the world were in Hollywood, were the biggest stars were attending the 84th academy awards ceremony, but let’s face it, what we really wanted to watch was the red carpet vanity fair.

    But this year was not a red carpet glorious year,  there was too many ohhh…so sweet, and a lacking of WOW!!! This was the year of sweet and pretty girls, and in my opinion Oscars should be all about sophistication, couture, boldness, and this just a few stars chose this path.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And Oscar of dullest red carpet moment goes to Bérenice Bejo, the Oscar nominated wore an Ellie Saab gown and Chopard jewelry. For me this dress was not proper, this should be her greatest night, she was nominated for an Oscar (what more can an actress ask for), instead of gorgeous she was boring with a not breath taking dress.

Oscar nominated Viola Davis, wore a green Vera Wang, and jewelry by Judith Leiber, when I first saw it I couldn’t believe that this was a Vera Wang, being Wera Wang one of my favorite gowns maker, this dress was just an ugly mess, and an ugly mess that didn’t fit, her bobs were almost saying “hi!” for the cameras, and the dress made her look like a square, besides the dress I really loved the hair, she was bold enough to wear it natural and in opposite of most of people I really liked it.

The always stunning Mila Jovovish wore a beautiful white gown by Elie Saab (white really was the colour of the night), for me one of the best outifits of the night, but I must be true when I first saw it I didn't love it, but the more I see it the more I like it. In my opinion what made this look not just beautiful but gorgeous were the details, as the not over the top diamonds and the fuchsia lipstick, the darker hair and of course her spectacular beauty.

My dear, dear Meryl I swear that I love but this wasn’t your smartest choice; the dress looked like a cheap golden drapery with a belt. She looked heavy and voluminous, but I guess she looked happy, and who cares what she wore, she won the Oscar so I guess every women in the room wanted that dress if they also could win the Oscar. 

I think there aren’t enough words to explain how good Glenn Close was in this Zac Posen outfit, I can’t point one thing wrong in this look, the dress was perfectly build, the back were to die for, and the blazer…oh my God the blazer turn this look into the every dream of a stylist. The bold and risky choice that Glenn made was rewarded because she looked her best, and best than the majority of 20 year old girls attending the ceremony. If there’s a word to describe this look is powerful.

How can a gorgeous  20 years old girl attend the Oscars, the ceremony to see and be seen, dressed like an old lady, I’m not saying dress isn’t gorgeous, it is ( is a haute couture Valentino ), but for a girl with a beautiful body as she has the dress covered too much. Playing save is not for young stars this is their time to experiment; they will have their all lives to dress dull.

Everyone that sees Octavia Spencer in this dress think “where the **** did she put all those pounds”, that dressed made miracles, and I’m sure spanxs helped, was beautifully done and had the smartest design. She looked a million bucks.

I don’t know what to say about this Givenchy couture dress because I don’t think it was fitted correctly ( and because I’m still hangover after the Givenchy Couture Cate Blachete wore last year) maybe because she only choose the dress in that morning day, but I must say that the lower part of the dress was beautiful, is with the upper part that I have problems with, but I think that if the dress was well fitted it would be gorgeous. Everyone that saw this year awards season could see that Roney Mara was trying to get a little bit out of her comfort zone, without losing her personal style, by using a white dress instead of black ( her usual color of choice). But let’s talk about her hair and makeup, because for me if they saved the outfit the bangs and the red lipstick with the clean and fresh face made her even more beautiful and feminine.

 I really like this Alexander McQueen dress I think the tailoring of the gown is exquisite, I love drama of the dress, but this drama doesn’t fit Jessica, she’s too much of a sweet heart for this dress, her look don’t combine with the dress, it seems we are looking at for two different persons. I guess she doesn’t have the powerfulness and boldness this dress requires. But it was a nice trie.

Jennifer we all know that you are single again, but please…that dress (Zuhair Murad) left little to imagination, just not appropriate for the occasion (maybe for the Emmy’s but not for the Oscars) or for her body type, the dress accentuate the curves of the women but she already haves too many of them in result her already big ass looked even bigger (and that’s not cool), this dress is perfect for skinny skinny girls, because if you already have the curves you will look trashy. Sorry

The most influent person for the next 10 years

If there’s a person that changed our way to look in to fashion in the past years that person is Alexander McQueen, he made his fashion shows look like a play, where the characters were the models and story was told us through the clothes.

You can say that it is a bit strange that for me the most influent person in fashion for the next ten years is dead, but in my perspective Alexander McQueen isn’t dead, he had became a legend a myth and his perceiving of fashion is his legacy and it is that legacy that’s going to influence the fashion world. Fashion isn’t just about pretty and sexy girls, is about powerfulness, art, thinking outside the box in fact McQueen said that ““I get my ideas out of my dreams… if you’re lucky enough to use something you see in a dream, it is purely original. It’s not in the world — it’s in your head. I think that is amazing.”

So I think his way of thinking is going to be crucial in the next years for fashion, because new designer see Alexander McQueen as a good of creativity and his impeccable details and tailoring

From Hollywood to Monaco

She was a movie star, she was a princess, a mother, an inspiration for many designers, an icon. We can she say that she’s had everything done everything, for now I expect you to know who am I talking about, is off course the one and only Grace Kelly

Grace Patricia Kelly was born in 1929 in Philadelphia, and dead in a terrible car accident in Monaco, 1982.

She first started has a model but soon become an actress, participated in more than 40 episodes in TV series and in ten movies, winning a golden globe by her performance in the movie “Mogambo” and an Oscar of best actress by her role in “The Country Girl”. But all changed when she was invited to attend in the Cannes film festival (1955), where she was supposed to participate in a session with prince Rainier III of Monaco, but that didn’t worked at supposed and Grace only met with the prince in Monaco. In a visit to U.S.A the prince once again met with Grace Kelly and after three days he proposed, and off course she said “Yes”. They married in April 18, 1956, the ceremony was broadcasted in Europe and was watched by 30 million people.

She had three children, Caroline, Albert and Stefanie

On September  13, 1982 while driving with her daughter Stefanie (seventeen at the time), Grace had a car accident caused by after stroke who made them crash. She was still found alive, but died I the next day in the hospital.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grace Kelly style was always sophisticated, exquisit but at the same time very simple and clean. She was never too posh, always elegant. So you can say that most women of her time were like that, I disagree Grace Kelly was different of the others, she and Audrey Hepburn transformed style and beauty. The standards of beauty before, were that women should look like a pin up (Marilyn Monroe is a great example of that standard of beauty back them), but they weren’t like that, they were tall, skinny the oposite of pin up's and that made their style different too. But it's not just becouse of that, it's something more she had an aura, a glow, no wonder prince Rainier wanted her as a princess becouse she already was it.
Grace Kelly should be an examples for all women, she's an example that more is less.
