It seems like red was the most popular color of choice for dresses this year.
ReplyDeleteMy vote for best dressed goes to Helen Mirren. But she's so classy, she'd probably look good in a potato sack.
oh, Thank you, dear!! I had wanted to see pictures of more than just the five or six that have been all over the news. I've been too swamped to surf to find them, so I'm VERY grateful that you weren't!
ReplyDeletePenelope Cruz is missing her most attractive accessory, Javier Bardem.
ReplyDeleteHelen Mirren was my absolute fave. She's so sexy (I feel compelled to add - 'for her age' - isn't that shameful?!)
ReplyDeleteKatherine Heigl looked like an old-Hollywood movie star with the red dress & lips and classic hairstyle.
James McAvoy is married? Bummer...
I didn't watch the Oscars and I haven't even looked to see who won! How bad is that! Those are some beautiful dresses though! I love Heidi Klum. I've become a bit of a Project Runway fan!
ReplyDeleteWowie kazowie -- beautiful gowns -- eye candy, all of them! Helen Mirren's was my fave, too -- Jennifer Garner's was gorgeous, too. Great Thursday Thirteen, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI have to say I only saw the awards but not the dresses. Some of them are very nice.
ReplyDeleteWow, great list. I missed some of those dresses, but you got all the ones I loved. You have fabulous taste! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou know, you have to have a great body to pull dress #6. Otherwise you're going to look like an overblown fish.
ReplyDeleteI had not even seen Diane Lane in any of the coverage, and you are right, that dress is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHellen Mirren looked fantastic, but then, she always does. I totally admire that woman!
I loved all the red dresses, but I bet all those women were PISSED that they were all wearing red, when they probably figured they'd be the stand out, you know? ;-)
I thought Helen Mirren looked amazing! Red is my favourite colour and a lot seem to have chosen it this year.
ReplyDeleteI like all the elegant draping. Classical, elegant. Helen Mirren has my vote for the classiest lady around!
ReplyDeleteCruz is the only one I recognize. See what happens when you give up television. Have a great TT. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the red carpet. I feel like I've been jipped if I miss it.
ReplyDeleteThey said there was a lot of red on the red carpet. Helen Mirren always looks gorgeous. I thought Jennifer Garner looked lovely, too.
ReplyDeleteI love Jennifer Garner's gown!!Love the hair too!
ReplyDeleteKatherine Heigl looked gorgeous. Some people are overwhelmed in red but she stunning.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pictures, I love seeing the fashions even when I don't watch the shows.
Happy TT

We see which color is the popular one this year: Brillant, vivid red!
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't like the Jean-Paul Gauthier 's dress, it makes me think of a bed sheet!
Jennifer wore her white and pink knee length night gown and her monkey house shoes. Designer unknown. I haven't seen any of these pics and aren't they all lovely....Jennifer
ReplyDeletehttp://blackbird17.blogspot.com/2008/02/thoughts-on-evening-wear.htm check out this link for her low down on the dresses, she picked alot of the ones you did.
ReplyDeleteKatherine Heigl looked like classic Hollywood Starlett!! Breathtaking. :D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch this year. Completely forgot about it. Happy TT.
ReplyDeleteI like number 12 and number 3 the best. I was surprised how many gowns didn't have a designer's name attached.
ReplyDeleteI love the dresses at these events. And this one was fun because they auctioned off the red dresses. So the ladies wore second wonderful dresses. YAY!! Heidi Klum is really great - my fav.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
