Agreed! Laura Dern shows how to do white without it being too bridey.

White quiet the dominate colour by many as is blush nude

Saoirse looks like a 12 year old in dress up, did Gywneth Paltrow wear a similar pink dress before

Lupita looks stunning in anything doesn't she? Not even mad about the dress but she still manages to look amazing.

I saw it from a couple of other angles and really thought it was stunning - the front view isn't great in fairness, but it looks incredible in motion if that makes sense at all!

Yeah, it just looks a bit severe head-on.

My favourite guna of the night.
Red and gold are a great combo on our fave desperate housewife.

I think that is Christine Lahti not Felicity Huffman

Wow they could be sisters.
It's still my favourite look though.
Really elegant.

I think it looks absolutely gastly from every angle.
And the puckerings on the bust look like nipples.
And don't start me on the dark roots.
But the Irish media will still give it the thumbs up!

She does look great, little jewellery goes a long way too

I kind of like Emma Stone's look but not for the Oscars. It seems more suited to a premiere or a day event.

She should lose the pink bow belt

I thought it was Gweynet Paltrow but all I can find is the 'the' pink coats dress. If it wasn't her someone certainly wore similar dress before.

Anyway it seems to me like all creativity was used up finding black dresses for previous ceremonies and there arent many great dresses at Oscars. I don't like dresses with massive bows.

She always does those clashing pops of pink but they usually work, this just looks bizarre!

I think it's this one. A lot of people are making the comparison.

No comparison, imo! We need to get a grip

I think it's mostly the shade. I don't really see it either but a lot are saying it!

Alicat

Admittedly it did come to mind immediately but I do think it was the shade of pink; it’s not worn that often.

Unusual year, this one. Some classics, and some strange decisions which didn’t seem very Oscar appropriate.

My favourites were Jennifer Garner, Gal Gadot and Alison Janney.

Salthillprom

I don’t think the standard was great overall.

If Saoirse Ronan had a stylist advising her to wear that pink horror-show, I’d be giving same stylist the P45 immediately! Horrific, ill fitting, unflattering, sack of a dress.

tickingclock

Saoirses dress was very disappointing. Didn't like the colour or style of it.
Thanks to all for posting pictures

Addle

It's nice. But she's done a lot better before.
And it's something that looks like it's been done before.
Nothing sky like or ethereal about it either.

Lots of fab dresses,
Helen Mirren may be my favourite, again.

Addle

Really feel like I've seen a lot of the dresses before, in my lifetime.
Does that qualify as vintage now??

Wellyd

Not an amazing red carpet this year. I really like Alisson Janney and Jennifer Garners dresses. But Gina Rodriguez in Zuhair Murad was my best dressed. E need to get their sh** together and put Giuliana on the red carpet on Oscar night. Ryan had barely any interviews and there was too much filler.

Awful! I’d bet something went wrong with her chosen dress for her to end up with this abomination

When I seen Saoirse in this I thought: Oh no Saoirse what were you thinking.
The only thing nice about it is the colour. It is too long at the bottom. Maybe if it had been to the knees or just over them that would have looked better instead it makes her look old there. The top is ill fitting her boobs look squished the poor girls. Her hair is too short. If the dress had come up more and her hair was longer plus better make up she would have looked so much better.

Twee.

The more I see of her dress, the more I like it. I love the length and matching shoes.
And best of all, a natural look. No fake tan!

So many nicer dresses at the Vanity Fair after party. Love this on Margot.



Not sure who this is but omg. My jaw dropped.

Addle

Megan Mullally can't do much wrong.

I think it looks better from different angles. I have a sneaky feeling it was sliding down a bit, the bottom should be a little bit higher and bust was a bit lower than it should. I agree about no fake tan and restrained make up, I still don't like the hair.

Alicat

Definitely some interesting ones at Vanity Fair!

Zendaya changed her dress

Alicat

Emma Stone changed also

Alicat

Jenna Dewan Tatum looked stunning

Bad choices this year!

No idea what look Kerry Washington was going for.

JP Liz V1

The older and more mature ladies looked the best

Kate Beckinsale looked sensational too.

From Hollyoaks to Hollywood, Rachel Shenton, Oscar winner

I just saw Emma Stone on the stage and I thought her outfit was actually nice and kind of cool. The colours also looked much better than on photos.

Jane Fonda and Helen Mirren were so classy and elegant.

JP Liz V1

Faye Dunaway (too much work done on her face)

Helen Mirren looked great in a simple dress and the jewellery complemented the look so well.

Completely agree with this. They still look amazing and ooze class and style.

Peter Mark VIP Style Awards in Dublin tonight

JP Liz V1

Met Gala tonight and the theme is "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination" which explains Pope Rihanna

Addle

I hope Madonna digs out her 'like a prayer' dress.
Loving Rihanna's dedication to the theme.
So far I like Liky Collins, Kate Bosworth and Alicia Vradkars frocks the best.
I don't see the appeal in Amal Clooney's outfit at all-or the link to the theme.

metaoblivia

I loved Zendaya, Priyanka Chopra and Blake Lively. And I give points to anyone who went with the theme.
