I am tired of this hairstyle on her and I really, really wish she'd pulled some of the color from the skirt into her jewelry or makeup. Like I'm imagining some pink or green near her face. I feel like it's a really wasted opportunity to create a really beautiful look. I never say this about Portman but it kind of feels like the dress is wearing her here. She looks checked out (and maybe is, it's been a weird year for her, so kudos to her for doing her job with regards to her new movie which looks good though I have not seen it).

But I've looked closely and I think it was a momentary shift in posture or a trick of the light because the bust is perfectly fitted. Obviously this is a specific thing and I still love it. Good for her for going with it this year.

It will be a relief to see her wearing literally any other color once the Oscars are over. I bet she's looking forward to it too.

If it were a paint chip, they'd just call it "Nothing" or "Blank. The length is upsetting. Why? Just take it to the floor, it's a formal event. But then on top of that horrifying hem length, the fit seems off? Not as bad as a few other examples, but the puckering around her midsection can't just be about the fabric and her posture (she always stands like that, and she's not that slouched). I feel like maybe in getting the bodice to fit perfectly (which it does), it throws off the rest of the dress and maybe indicates that this was just the wrong pull for her generally. The neckline is nice on her but the rest is just not.
