No, this is Jackie Kennedy-inspired. Stunning. |

ITA, A+ for Mindy’s after party look. |
Imperial Senator from a poor planet where the crops have been destroyed. |
Hong Chau's ceremony dress. I love the pink on her, I love the cut of the dress. But three words: spangled butt flap. No one needs a spangled butt flap!
|
This is so tacked on, like the dress without it was too boring. It looks like someone else’s train caught on her dress. |
Imperial Senator wearing the precious metals vital to space propulsion which are native to her planet in the form of a cape - BECAUSE SHE CAN. |
This whole look is amazing. It’s an hard color to wear and her earrings are spectacular. I would have done a sparkly purse instead of the matchy matchy one but this is beautiful. |
Gorgeous! I love everything about this. |
Don't get me wrong - I like it. And I also think Sharon Stone would make a great Senator in the Imperial Senate and she should wear this dress. |
I get annoyed when the Oscar dresses that are custom made for the ceremony by these very elite design houses (this is Prada) have less thought put into them than one of the dozens of looks the same house will send down a runway two-three times a year. Like if this were a dress from a collection, it would never make it on the runway with that thing attached. They'd rework it -- instead of a butt flap, they'd do a full overskirt in the fringe and see how that looked. They'd try embellishing the pink with individual fringe to see what they think. They'd do it on the hem with a longer train in back and see how that worked. I do think these designers sometimes get flummoxed by creating a dress for a specific person, often with more normal variations in body type than models are most of their other clients (starving society wives), and they do weird things that come off like they didn't try. The Oscars happen every year, the nominees get announced two months in advance and it's pretty clear who will be invited and possibly nominated even further out than that. It shouldn't be this hard. But they do great when dressing Nicole, Cate, Julia, etc. -- tall, skinny white women. They just get so easily confused by everyone else and it's frustrating. There is no reason being short, or plus size, or having a big chest, or whatever should be so fundamentally disabling for these designers. And yet... (Christian Siriano is really the only truly size inclusive red carpet designer I can think of who can dress almost anyone of any size and body shape and find a way to make her look her best) |
To paraphrase Michael Kors on Project Runway original flavor -- this has me questioning her taste level. |
You're not really familiar with Pakistani clothing, and it's evident. |
Not even close. Cara D looks Fugly. Melanie exudes class. |
The roses rugby the same color as her skin feel wrong. Like they’re blossoming from her hip. A strange infection. No no. No. |
