WHO WORE WHAT?.....86th Annual Academy Awards: Sandra Bullock in Custom Alexander McQueen

Sandra Bullock in Custom Alexander McQueen

Academy Award-nominated "Gravity" actress Sandra Bullock wore a violet blue mermaid-shaped strapless gown in silk duchesse satin custom-made for her by Alexander McQueen and that fashion house's designer Sarah Burton. The dress features a front drape that crosses over into full pleated detail. It's an interesting gown, made well, fits her like a glove (it should, it's made FOR HER!) and I like the color...

I also love her side-swept hair style and those diamonds.

What do you thinks think of Sandra Bullock's 2014 Oscars Red Carpet look?

 Look 1 of 10: Alexander McQueen/Winter 2013/2014

The Look: Catholic Priests in Drag. Creative Director/Designer Sarah Burton designed this collection during her last stages of her pregnancy so therefore it's briefness (only ten looks)--and maybe it's focus on "Divine Inspiration". The mini collection was all about excess and Catholic priests of the 16th Century. Elizabethan Costume Details such as Ruffs, puffy sleeves mixed with  "Conquistador" uniforms and armor. Modern touches included studded rocker-chic boots, silver metallic corset belts, finger covers and crystal-encrusted headdresses. Oh, and then there was a little Folies Bergere thrown in at the end...

 Ruff Diva: Queen Elizabeth I

 Religious Excess: Jan Van Eyck "Madonna and Child with Canon Van Der Pa"

This was just an "Inspiration" for what editors and
buyers would then really see back in the showroom: Probably fiercely
simple yet rigorously fab black sheath dresses. Visit an Alexander
McQueen boutique come this Fall and let me know if you see ANY of this in stores.
Here's a hint: you won't. But it was fabulous to see it here, n'est pas?

WHO WORE WHAT?.....85th Annual Academy Awards: Amanda Seyfried in Alexander McQueen

Amanda Seyfried in Alexander McQueen: Amanda wore a custom Alexander McQueen Gown to last night's Academy Awards. It was a Halter Neck Gown in a Blush Color with Golden Embroidery.



I'm sure that if you were looking at this dress up close and were able to touch and feel the beautiful craftsmanship it would be breathtaking, but on the Red Carpet it did not have much of an impact. It was sort of "blah" and washed her out. I feel that she continually wears these pale colors over and over again.



I would have loved to have seen this gown in a Deep Plum with the same gold embroidery detail. Now that would make a statement!

Amanda was another actress with a case of the "frizzies". I understand not wanting the hair to be "too done" but this takes it to a whole different level! I'm always surprised that they leave the house thinking that this is an Oscar Worthy Hairdo!
