Oscars 2015 Nicole Kidman: 90s at the Oscars This is ridiculous. It looks like what I can only refer to as ‘cyberwear’. The kind of thing you would get at the mall from Le Chateau, in pleathers and PVCs, as popularized by Angelina Jolie in Hackers and ideally worn with cobalt blue eyeliner. So why do I love By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 06:26 am
Oscars 2015 Rashida Jones: Floral Formal at Vanity Fair Lainey liked this dress and I didn’t, when we saw it initially, because I felt like such a bright and cheerful dress necessitates someone being bright and gregarious in it, and I felt like Rashida was so muted before she went in. After she went in, on the other By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 06:18 am
Oscars 2015 Thandie Newton: Killing it at Vanity Fair Sometimes it’s not all about the yearlong leadup to what you’ve been doing and dresses you’ve been carefully choosing and planning. Sometimes it’s just being invited to a party and effortlessly throwing on a killer dress that ranks in one of the top 15 for the By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 05:47 am
Oscars 2015 Sienna Miller: Understated Oscar Presenter Let us be clear that this was not the year any of us predicted for Sienna Miller – right? When she squealed with delight at American Sniper winning, I’d forgotten that she was even in it, because I associated her with Foxcatcher. Imagine being in two such high profile films By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 05:41 am
Oscars 2015 Cate Blanchett: Black Velvet at the Oscars I come down on the side of those who could have done without the necklace, because she doesn’t need it, but man, she doesn’t need much. We need her desperately, is the thing, to serve up equal amounts of cool chill, a sort of yes-glamour-but-let’s-not-get-too-excited-about-it, and a By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 05:08 am
Oscars 2015 Rosamund Pike: Oscar Badass It was a good night for Rosamund Pike, all around. Her dress was the best one she’s worn all season, which is a relief, and it managed to be not boring in a sea of beiges. And she was fun – she’s known to be maybe not the easiest By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 05:02 am
Oscars 2015 Ava Duvernay: Oscars Most Overlooked It wasn’t until two thirds into the show, into candy and onion rings and punchiness, that I realized I hadn’t seen Ava DuVernay. I was shocked, but when I brought it up, nobody else had seen her either. She’d just not been on camera. I mean, it’ By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 04:55 am
Oscars 2015 Margot Robbie: The Oscar Grownup First of all, Margot Robbie looked spectacular. It was the first real showstopper on the carpet, black with sleeves and – bold statement here – the best necklace of the evening. But what I love most about Margot Robbie is that she has shown up on the carpet and she seems like By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 04:37 am
Oscars 2015 Chris Pratt & Anna Faris: Hot Oscar Couple I swear that I thought for the longest time that I didn’t like Anna Faris and Chris Pratt. I don’t know why exactly, but I think it probably had a lot to do with The House Bunny, which is unfair. Or the fact that they’re kind of, By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 04:03 am
Oscars 2015 Anna Kendrick: Oscars Supporting Player What a night for Musical Theatre Nerds! We are legion and we are getting ever stronger. And it surprised nobody that if you’re doing a musical sequence, you get Anna Kendrick to come on board and pick things up. And Anna Kendrick will deliver for you, no matter what.

Gorgessity Kristen Wiig Smiles at Independent Spirit It’s not even like my eyes deceive me – Wiig is for sure smiling and it’s because she looks fantastic and she has perhaps unwittingly bested Scarlett Johansson at her own look. They have the same haircut and kind of the same dress, but Wiig’s black-on-black paisley is By Duana • Feb 21, 2015 07:13 pm
Lifestyle Olivia Munn’s Independent Spirit I mean, I’d have a crush on her too. This dress could easily be way too much, especially since the Independent Spirit Awards are single handedly eradicating any desire I have to ever see anyone’s midriff ever again. When’s the last time a trend was exhausted in By Duana • Feb 21, 2015 06:39 pm
Lifestyle Kerry Washington’s Black Dress at Independent Spirit Intellectually, I get it. Kerry Washington goes unexpected and doesn’t always default to ‘sexy’. If Lainey were here, she’d say she loves that this dress isn’t traditionally sexy/alluring. But she’s rehearsing so here’s my unbridled opinion - This medium-long black dress is so matte By Duana • Feb 21, 2015 06:26 pm
