and the oscar for best dressed goes to…

The best part about watching the Oscar’s is obviously the pre-awards show on the red carpet where hollywood’s elite is on display in the best and the worst of designer’s top offerings.  Haute couture doesn’t always translate to feminine elegance while looks that popped on the runway can fall flat up close and under the flash of a thousand photogs.   This year’s red carpet entertainment was no exception with a lot of  hits, misses and irritatingly ‘safe’ snooze-worthy gowns, but here are my picks for last night’s best-dressed in awe-inspiring couture. 

1. Halle Berry killed it and took my #1 vote in this glittery stunner by Marchesa

2. Jennifer Lawrence in this chic and sultry gown by CK

3. Reese Witherspoon in strapless perfection by Armani Prive

4. Mila Kunis in this flirty and feminine gown by Elie Saab

what films made you cry?

I love this little compilation of interviews by Lynn Hirshberg for W Magazine- here she asks actors from the ‘Best Performances’ category, What Movies Made You Cry? Featuring Natalie Portman, Nicole Kidman, Michael Douglas and Colin Firth to name a few. Check it out.
