Best of the Oscar Dresses

There was yet another glorious array of dresses last weekend at the Oscars this year as the best of Hollywood came out to celebrate the Oscar Academy Awards ceremony. I thought I would share with you some of my favourites!


Sarah Jessica Parker wore a beautiful Dior Haute Couture dress, by no means letting her fashionablee Sex and the City fans down. Not only does the fit of the dress look stunning but somehow the fantasy elements of this dress appeals to my fairytale sensibilities.



Freida Pinto who was nominated for the award of Best Supporting Actress for Slumdog Millionaire is also on my best dressed list. The effect of the one sided sleeve really makes this John Galliano dress an alternative and individual dress for the Oscars.


The lovely Kate Winslet can always be relied upon to represent English sensibilities and she does so in lovely one shouldered, two-tone YSL dress.


However, my favourite was Natalie Portman's choice of Rodarte as her Oscar dress. The romantic fluidity of the dress as well as its vibrant lilac colour makes Portman really stand out effortlessly.

I look forward to seeing what they wear next year!

Rodarte Spring/ Summer 2009

The imagination and fantasy involved in this collection is divine, as is every collection that the Mulleavy sisters put their minds to. I think my favourite element of the Rodarte design is how the dress appears to blend in with the body so effortlessly, making the garment appear as though it is in fact part of the body.



This Spring/ Summer collection also has an added twist. The Mulleavy sisters have refreshed the now fashion staple: the legging, by cutting out sections, making them ready to wear as the weather begins hotting up.



Another addition to the collection is the mohair jumper which looks deliciously cosy, making the collection extremely easy to wear whilst the weather is still a touch frosty!

Gothic Horror Glam

Right in time for Halloween the goth look is back. The Autumn 08 collections were filled with gothic glamour and models dressed from head to toe in black.

The Givenchy collection was by no means an exception to this, with models sporting tailored black jackets and suits. I like this piece however, much more of a feminine out fit that could be incorporated into my wardrobe. On this note I would also like to mention how much I adored some of the more vampiric inspired items of the Rodarte collection...


These pieces demonstrate a very delicate and feminine way to pull of the gothic look. I really love the fact that the dress on the right moves so freely. Two very gorgeous pieces that can translate very well to high street fashion.
