And The Award Goes To..


"So, who's your BEST dressed celeb?" is a question raised by a very dear friend after any red carpet event. She always beats me to it. And this morning wasn't any different. The first thing she said to me was: "I thought the recession was over!!", referring to how celebs played it safe with their fashion picks. If you're a celeb who can get any gown you wish for and make a designer's dream come true by gracing the red carpet in his/her own creation then seize this once in a life time opportunity and go for something more extravagant and daring. Not lady gaga extravagant, but more refined couture-like pieces like Armani Privé or Marchesa. Anyways, here's my favorite Oscar's best dressed celebs list:
  • Jennifer Lopez in Armani Privé, I have to admit though she looked fabulous from this angel, there was something not quite right about the other
  • Miley Cyrus in Jenny Packham, a flattering age approperiate gown
  • Victoria Beckham, in her own label, saved by the pixel effect which made the gown more interesting
The disappointments? SJP, Diane Kruger, and Charlize Theron (major disappointment!).

Who's your best/worst dressed celeb?

completely agree,,, especially with jennifer lopez and miley cyrus,,

SJP's gown kind of grew on me, at first i thought it was hideous,, but it has this ugly/beautiful thing to it,,

and i wanted to add anna kendricks gown from up in the air,, it did not go well with her skin tone,, but i still found it pretty,,

I really didn't like the messy updos trend on the red carpet! from SJP to Jennifer lopez to kristen stewart they were all sporting the " i just got into a catfight" hairdo.. it just ruined the whole look for me :/

Jennifer Lopez def looked good in that shot, but on stage it was not as flattering!! ADORED Cyrus in the Jenny packham dress! So pretty! Although I rarely like dresses that are all sparkles like the Marchesa Sandra Bullock wore..she looked deeeeevine!! Her hair, make up and dress! It just felt right!Perfection!
Vera Farmiga's berry coloured Marchesa was hot too!

YES..I agree... charlize and SJP..what the hell?!

Major major let down by Diane Kruger, also thought Carey Mulligan was a let down.
I actually liked SJP - not at first, but when I saw the back, I decided good for her for being a bit different.
This is the best pic I've seen of JLO, I didn't like the dress when I saw it from the other angles.

A lot of them played it safe this year, there wasnt any wow factors.

One of my favorites was Zoe Saldanas Givenchy gown.

I really liked Rachel McAdams' dress. I have to agree with you that Charlize and Diane could've done better. They are usually the best dressed!

OK SJP's dress was amazing i loved it as soon as I saw it, and it was a real shock that lots of ppl didn't agree with me :P,, as for the hairdo it was hideous from the front and i was really wondering why no one told her that it was messy!! or that's the style of the hairdo!!??? i was confused,, but it looked really beautiful from the back.

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
