Bebe 17,094 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 It’s the night we’ve all been waiting for: the Academy Awards red carpet. (The awards are great too, sure, but you know why we really tuned in.) It started with a trickleâ€â€literally, as the typically beautiful Los Angeles weather didn’t holdâ€â€when a few celebrities stepped out on the carpet in a sinful shade of scarlet. Cropping up in crimson were Dakota Johnson, in a slinky, one-shouldered Saint Laurent, sleek ponytail, and impactful, minimal jewelry by Forevermark; Rosamund Pike in a custom Givenchy frock that lent her an air of modern sophistication somewhere between Veronica Lake and Grace Kelly; and newlywed Sophie Hunter in a Grecian-style Lanvin, at once ravishing and refined. The stars who relied on silhouette did so to enviable success: Reese Witherspoon let her perfectly tailored off-the-shoulder monochromatic Tom Ford do the talking, while Lady Gaga’s custom Alaïa gown (the designer’s first confection for the awards ceremony) took 25 people two weeks to create. Which isn’t to say that the other frocks were dashed off: Julianne Moore’s custom Chanel dress featured more than 80,000 hand-painted paillettes, while Lupita Nyong’o wore a dreamy, entirely pearl-encrusted Calvin Klein Collection dress that transformed her into a modern-day Venus de Milo. But the night was meant for truly major moments, provided by Felicity Jones, who captivated in a blossoming number by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen; or Marion Cotillard, whose Dior Haute Couture dress was an athletically influenced take on eyelet. But it wasn’t only bold color or complicated custom fabrications that made a major splash: A clutch of sophisticated noir numbers plucked straight from the runways demonstrated a return for houses with new names at the helm. Sienna Miller in a feminine, yet alluring frock from Peter Copping’s debut for Oscar de la Renta provided a touch of old-world Hollywood glamour (think Audrey Hepburn), while Cate Blanchett’s choice of a black velvet Maison Margiela Couture column proved that major style doesn’t need major flashâ€â€and that John Galliano couldn’t have dreamed of a better endorsement.

The fashion bible is loving this look. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop 4,541 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 A Swedish newspaper wrote that she had the worst outift, because of the red "dish gloves" They have always been a big irrelevant flop paper anyways.. Most peasants who know nothing of couture said that same exact thing. People who understand fashion immediately gasped at the beauty. Every piece of that outfit is well thought out and interconnected. And without the gloves, it wouldn't be nearly as impactful.
