What I Wore Wednesday: Oscars 2014 Red Carpet

So awards season is officially over and the biggest and the best of all the awards, The Oscars, took place this past weekend. If you didn't know that then seriously who are you? I love the Oscars and probably my favourite part are the dresses. Beautiful people in beautiful gowns, what more can you ask for?

 All the major players and papers have named their fashion favourites but who cares what they say this is who I liked best at Oscars 2014!

Normally I am not a fan of flesh coloured dresses but this just was so ethereal, delicate and elegant. Her dress, skin and hair are all sort of the same tone but it just totally shimmers and shines and works for me. Fun fact in the past 10 years 8 of the Best Actress winners have worn white or very pale dresses.

Everything. I love everything. The draping on the gown, that deep sapphire colour, her gorgeous old Hollywood hair--she looks stunning. She just exemplifies what a Best Actress nominee should look like walking down the red carpet.

Again I'm not a fan of deep plunge necklines but she looked amazing. The pale pastel blue totally complemented her skin tone; she just looked radiant. I loved how she kept her accessories simple but elegant and wore arm bands instead of bracelets.

There were lots of beautiful bumps on the red carpet last night but my favourite was Olivia Wilde. I love a monochromatic look on the red carpet because to me black and white just screams elegant. She didn't hide her bump and I love that she kept her jewellery black and white too.

 I won't say who looked the worst but I will say who was my most disappointing look of the night. I'm sure a lot of people won't agree with me but my least favourite look was:

 Margot Robbie, Saint Laurent
I actually really like Margot Robbie; she used to play Donna on my favourite Australian soap Neighbours but I am not liking this look. I don't have any issues with her gown but coupled with her new dark hair, the heavy makeup and dark plum lip it really ages her and does not look good. It is all just far too dark and overwhelming.

 Also honourable mention goes out to Jared Leto's gorgeous Mom, Constance; I am in love with her hair and it's how I imagine my hair would be if I ever go grey. Now we know why Jordan Catalano was so hot! Also dishonourable mention to his brother Shannon WTF happened to his face?

    I never watch awards shows, so I always am grateful to bloggers like you to fill me in on the fashion that I missed :) I agree with you completely - Cate Blanchett and Olivia Wilde looked amazing!

    Oooh the frocks! Definitely more hits than misses this year. Cate Blanchett and Lupita Nyong'o both looked absolutely stunning but I think Kate Hudson might just have been my favourite :-)

    I couldn't believe Margot Robbie got zero attention on the red carpet considering she's been getting so much attention this year! Although, now seeing the full look, I kind of understand why. Definitely not my favorite look. Thanks for hosting the linkup!

    I couldn't agree with you more, my fave outfit was Cate Blanchett's and the least favourite was Margot Robbie. I like her more as a blonde, plus that dress made her look ugly...and she's usually gorgeous ! Thanks for commenting on my post, anyway I think you skipped the link to your blog, it's already on my post, if you scroll up the last picture of the post you'll see all the links to the link-ups including yours, of course. I always put a link back, everytime I link up my outfit to link-ups ! Thank you for this opportunity. Hugs

    I loved the dresses this year, most of your faves are mine too, although I also loved Kate Hudson in Versace. Agree about Margot Robbie - unrecognisable.
