You're insane

CalhounSq said:

It's just horribly out of place.
She is not getting married.

Simplicity is the way to go.

Take tips from the Pitts

rushing07 said:

The Pitts are boring as HELL The Oscars is SO not the place to be simple, she looked great (except the earrings)!

CalhounSq said:

I think you are mistaking boring for elegant.

Ann Hathaway's red carpet dress was the second best.

rushing07 said:

No, I'm calling boring "boring"

Is it the drama of the dress that's bugging you? Or the color? Or both?

CalhounSq said:

It looks like a reject blueprint for a Guggenheim museum.

rushing07 said:

OH PLEASE! Angelina looks fine, but I don't think a basic black dress should be "THE goal" for the Oscars.

Cal. do you happen to know who dressed Marion & SJP?

PricelessHo said:

Nah, I'm just looking up pics on websites. Haven't noticed any designers names

CalhounSq said:

What is the goal for the Oscars?

rushing07 said:

I have to agree with CS the green earrings and massive ring looked cheap on Angelina in conjunction with the lovely dress. Brad looks better as a blonde, he shows his age and then some with darker hair.

CalhounSq said:

parker's was stunning. marion's to me wasn't up to her last year's gaultier mermaid madness that's why i was wondering.

PricelessHo said:

oscar website says sarah was in dior

MAKEUP



YAY!













Ehhh...







fucking NAY!!

emm said:

oooh that's the one i was looking for yep, thank you!

and i think i'm changing my mind on marion's pick, it looks gorgeous there Dior is killing it this year. (if only whoopi handled her's better lol)

rushing07 said:

I think the goal should be to go all out AND look your best. Angela was safe & boring - she didn't look bad at all, she looks fine. But the look isn't stunning to ME

CalhounSq said:

nice

CalhounSq said:

As if he tried so hard to princify himself...

i think i may have to ditch all my dark lipsticks!


what is it with The Face anyway? should she just do eyes or mouth but not both?

CalhounSq said:

Unless she got too sensitive eyes for makeup...

MarySharon said:

i actually like her overall look there. i think it's very distinguished, in a good way.

emm said:

Nah, don't ditch them. Just don't combine dark lips w/ dark eyes, even on Oscar night. It has to be handled very carefully or it looks a mess!




She has the interesting combo of huge eyes AND a huge mouth, which looks great at times...





but can be jarring, & most often looks like she's about to eat a chunk of your brain





She needs to play up one OR the other, not both imo...



mouth vs. lips edit

I know what you mean. I'm kinda doggin' her for not doing enough - there's nothing "wrong" w/ how she looks, but she's always SO terribly drab to me. Nothing on the eyes, no earrings. It's like she was dipped in bleach, & then bronzer, & someone tricked her into wearing lipstick. I dunno, she always misses the mark for me, but she seems very comfortable w/ her own look...

CalhounSq said:

You're rockin' it tonight CS! Love your commentary.

CalhounSq said:

do you think it would've made a difference had she had darker eyebrows?

PricelessHo said:

Same she's an attractive woman with androgynous style.

PricelessHo said:

DUDE, darker brows... different color blouse (the tan washes her out more)... earrings, even small ones... There's just a few tweaks that could have been made to pull her look together more. It's distinguished but it could have popped more for me. She insists on being drab & washed out, the lips alone can't save it...

CalhounSq said:

Dang I never realized SJP had a bust like that! I thought she was smaller chested.

She looks great
