Mandy Moore in Monique Lhuillier, one big ball of tulle and sequined mess

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Nicole Kidman in Christian Dior, the bottom just didn't fit her right and was just plain boring

The Absolute Worst

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Marisa Tomei in Charles James, two dresses were cut and pasted together all sorts of wrong

Red was the It Color followed by barely-there shades of pinks, silvers, golds, and nudes that were frequently adorned with sequins. It doesn't mean it all worked out though. Mila Kunis nailed it in the Elie Saab gown. I always feel Saab was made for the Oscars. I was surprised no one wore Alexander McQueen, but I was not let down. In fact, Reese Witherspoon shocked me and should stay in her Mad Men look all the time. How about the 34975345 wardrobe changes Anne Hathaway had during the show. I loved the blue Armani Privé she was working. Well, Awards Season has come to an official end and I always get a teeny bit sad. I'm still working away on the Milan Fashion Week collections. Back to regular life tomorrow!

Alberta Ferretti

It was short and sweet over there in terms of dresses. Loving the velvet thigh-high boots.

The name game and neon ruled the runway.

Versace collections always remind of Samantha Jones from Sex & the City. It's somewhere between high class and the Hooters' slogan of "delightfully tacky yet unrefined". What this Fall collection offered us were wacky cuts, loud colors, leather, and possibly the best boots we've seen so far.

These boots. In an array of colors and materials to choose from. Where's my "like" button.

The colors, furs, and overall sexiness of the dresses with the hot pants underneath? Gucci keeps doing it. It was their 90th anniversary too!

These are the rest of looks I dug at LFW that didn't specifically mesh well with the others. Although most would have gotten along with the NYFW trends (grays, golds, blues). We're on Milan time now! Prepare yourself for some Gucci to get yourself acclimated.
