30. amy adams' dress is weird.
I noticed that that pastel colored necklace (sapphires and emeralds) does NOT go with the bright red dress at all.

Kate Winslet's dress is interesting with the black lace thing over the steely blue.

Marisa Tomei - interesting dress with use of square pleats.

Beyonce -- YUCKO!!!

Yegods, that's a catastrophic dress. Maybe without the bow, it would have worked, but when she walked out on stage, it looked like the whole thing just slumped. :shrug:

50. She's a 16 year old kid - someone needs to teach her how to dress for this shows
That dress was awful and I just rolled my eyes when Miley bragged about what a great find it was.

The dress itself wasn't a bad dress but just not a dress for her. I could see someone like Sarah Jessica Parker wearing that dress. Miley should have contacted Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren or Armani to find her a great dress for her age.

I don't know sour owlshit about fashion, but I know a catastrophe when I see one.

My Dog, Vanessa Hudgens has got to be one of the hottest women I have ever seen. :wow: I will grant that her dress ain't that great.

15. not too impressed with the dresses this year
Jolie, Cruz, Portman and some others do look good in waht they wore but nothing really nice stands out.

some of them are very ugly like Miley Cyrus' dress.

56. For some reason, perhaps because of the background on stage it looked worse.
Whoopi has a serious problem about wearing dresses. A few weeks ago on The View, she wore a dress every day for a week - it might have been some sort of challenge. Whomever selected her dresses on The View, should have dressed her for the Academy Awards.

I love the color, and the cut works well on her.


But yeah, Beyonce should slap someone for not stopping before she got out the door in that!!

49. True... but she's also wickedly smart in how she dresses....
She knows better than to let the dress be the focus--away from her own natural beauty and incredible figure. That simple, yet incredibly beautiful black dress drew all the attention to her. As opposed to some of those frumpy looks that were so damned overdone. Some of those fru fru dresses made them look like statues on a wedding cake (or Glenda, the Good Witch--cue Sarah Jessica Parker).

52. Sarah Jessica's dress
My wife and I were watching together and when she came out to present you could see her boob outline from the wide shot

Effective dress making.

BTW- my wife has a degree in and quite the eye for fashion and she thought Miley's dress was impressive :shrug:

53. There's no doubt SJP's dress highlighted her boobs...
Edited on Mon Feb-23-09 08:04 AM by hlthe2b
No question at all. But, the entire package (cascading hair, "boobage," poofy poofy hoop skirt, and somewhat overly done makeup) was just too much, IMO. SJP is a gorgeous lady. She doesn't need all of that.

Actually, I didn't think Miley's dress was bad--but not really in keeping with her youth, IMO. I'll bet it was very pretty in person, which is probably true of most of the dresses. Unfortunately, their stylists never learn that some colors (especially very pale colors and shades of white) do not come through on tv, no matter how much lace and sequins. Rich Color or black always look better.

54. Well....
Sarah is trying to get a new man


I don't have anything against Miley but I heard her on a Food Network challenge thing over the weekend (cake competition for her 16th birthday at Disneyland) and she sounds like some old "broad" greasy spoon waitress. She sounds like she huffs down PallMalls all day

26. My Barbie had a dress very similar to Sarah Jessica Parker's
I like Angelina Jolie's the best. Phoebe Cates looks very dowdy; whoever asked if she was using Laura Bush's designer was spot on. I don't care for those mermaid dresses; they don't flatter anybody. Marisa Tomei looks the best, judging from these pictures but it's just not an attractive look.

Miley Cyrus -- ugh, that dress is awful.
