Oscars: Quick fashion run down

Not much by way of good dresses. Most were either boring or hideous. I do think there were some I liked in the background, but of course they never showed them. So my pick for best dressed is Teresa Palmer (no idea who she is, but her dress wins anyway).
Emma Stone, you could've made the best dressed list, but you insisted on wearing gold even though you are not only a white girl, but a red-headed one. No. You need a color.
And from there we go to terrible.
Jessica Biel - what is that thing on your neck and why?
Jennifer Aniston - one should never look like a trollop, but one should especially not look like one if one is introducing the 'In Memoriam' part.
Leslie Mann - I was trying to figure out what your dress reminded me of, with it's randomly pulled up pieces of fabric, and then I figured it out.
Oh! Maybe that explains why I kept thinking that Brie Larson looked like a Disney villain!
But no one, no one can possibly beat Janelle Monae for Worst Dressed. I have no words.

I have no idea who most of those people are. Am I getting old? But maybe the last one was in "Hidden Figures"? She should've wore one of her costumes for the movie instead.

OK, never mind. Not most of those people. Just maybe half. :)

Nicole Kidman made the same faux pas as Emma Stone. And Felicity Jones kind of did too -- I guess the trend is to blend in to your dress?

I think I would choose Laura Dern, Kate McKinnon, and Darby Stanchfield for best-dressed. (This is after googling and going through 52 pics on the first hit, from Vogue.) And worst could also go to Cynthia Erivo.

The designer of Leslie Mann's dress is one of the judges on Project Runway...

nicole kidman always makes that faux pas. far too many pale people do. jewel tones, red heads! or a midnight blue or some such thing.

i hadn't seen laura dern, but yes, hers is nice. :) kate mckinnon's felt piecemeal to me. i hadn't seen darby stanchfield's either, but it feels a little wedding-y to me. it has some sort of veil-looking train thing going on on one side.

i like that cynthia erivo tried to be different without being ridiculous, what with flowers and all, but she ended up looking a bit like a persian rug.

and that judge can judge all he or she wants, but i still think the dress falls short of what it could've been. i think it was an attempt at belle, but ended up looking more:

I just went and googled each girl individually, and see that Darby's wasn't quite what I thought in the first picture I saw. So just Laura and Kate then. :) I could only tell what Kate's really was when I zoomed in; otherwise it just caught the light just right and looked like jewels in front.

Hahaha... I so wish you were a judge and could tell him that reference. :) And Ariel's too. You'd fit right in on the show! (Except that you might disagree with them sometimes.)

Also, who just uses the word 'trollop'? It sounds like something that one might find in one of the comments on that post I just shared with you. :)

:D and one uses the word trollop when someone looks like a trollop. and she certainly looked like a trollop.

Years from now we're going to wonder what I was talking about when I said "that post I just shared with you" -- note to future selves: it's the one from the Baltimore PD.
