Oscar Night style

If you scour the Internet long enough, you're going to find someone who agrees with your picks for best and worst gowns of Oscar Night. Here's my two cents:

I didn't see a lot I liked, but loved the way Mila Kunis looked in the lilac Elie Saab Couture above. Cate Blanchett is getting high marks in the British press for her Givenchy gown. A daring choice. I liked the shoulders but was less enamored by the puka front.

I thought Hilary Swank looked great in Gucci, and had the perfect coif to match. Too bad you can't see the side of her head in the photo below. And Hailee Steinfeld look very pretty and age-appropriate in a retro-'50s style Marchesa dress befitting the ladylike spring 2011 season.


I got the "Meow" crack when I Twittered that Scarlett Johansson looked cheap in lacy Dolce & Gabbana, but the picture doesn't lie. It looks like end-of-the-line Ross's. She did have the best accessory though, in Jeremy Renner! And for once, I liked what Gwyneth Paltrow was wearing. Her Calvin Klein gold sheath was a bold and daring choice amidst the usual sea of billowy, chiffon-y gowns.



Meanwhile, right here at home, the Hawaii International Film Festival once again hosted the local edition of the official Oscar Night America party at the Halekulani Hotel. Here's what some of the guests wore on the red carpet: Later, you can see what was on the menu as well, at Take A Bite.
