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 The Best Faith in Years It can be scary, the thought of Faith Hill at the Oscars. You remember, don’t you? No? I guess I don’t blame you. You’ve blocked it out of your mind. This: Finally she’s given us a replacement memory. This is the best Faith we’ve seen By Lainey • Feb 23, 2015 06:10 am
Oscars 2015 Naomi Watts: Club Girl at the Oscars This was a polarising look at the etalk Oscars viewing party. Half the room hated it. Half the room loved it. I was on the pro side… But I can see the point of the con side. It’s a dress for the Club Girl. This is how you dress By Lainey • Feb 23, 2015 05:54 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 Felicity Jones: Best Oscar Prom Dress + Best Reaction Shot Felicity Jones certainly wasn't the best dressed (or even the best dressed Brit) at the Oscars in her dove gray Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen gown, but she did win another title. While she went home empty-handed as a Best Actress nominee, she had the best non- By Joanna • Feb 23, 2015 05:34 am
Oscars 2015 Idris Elba: Best Oscars Voice My best friend Fiona texted me during the Oscars last night. “Do they have a sexiest voice category? If so, Idris gets my vote!” Fiona isn’t an exclamation points kind of person. Or a celebrity kind of person. We are opposites. I am flighty and superficial. She is grounded By Lainey • Feb 23, 2015 05:25 am
Oscars 2015 Keira Knightley: Babies & Brange at the Oscars I see this writing on a gown now and I think of the Brange wedding. Sorry. That’s just how my mind associates since it happened. So this Valentino on Keira Knightley, so pretty, had enough of that floating angel vibe on its own. Without the headpiece. I HATED it By Lainey • Feb 23, 2015 05:17 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’ 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 Chloe Grace Moretz: Oscar pockets Chloe Grace Moretz is 18 years old. And if we’re going to make a Lindsay Lohan comparison, it wouldn’t work here, at the Oscars, because Chloe didn’t do a Lohan. She didn’t try to become The Fashion Moment. Which is why I quite like this choice. By Lainey • Feb 23, 2015 04:48 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
Bad Style Jessica Chastain: Oscars Most Reluctant We had a final rehearsal and sound check for etalk at the Oscars until around noon. I was upstairs on the balcony overlooking the auditorium entrance when Jessica Chastain casually walked down the carpet, with her hood pulled up and a pair of casual pants, no handler, no publicist, just By Lainey • Feb 23, 2015 04:23 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
