Academy Awards 2012 Do's and Dont's

This time of year thrills me because you don't get more glitz and glamour than at classic Award shows such as the Oscars! As they were looming, the curiosity grew and finally when I got to watch the star studded event from the Red Carpet to the Award Ceremony it felt majestic watching all the stars in their gowns and tuxedos (Luckily, Ryan Seacrest had a spare jacket!) Here are what I felt were the best and worst dressed stars...


BEST DRESSED: Jennifer Lopez a.k.a J Lo wows again! Despite reports about her wardrobe malfunction she glowed in this Zuhair Murad masterpiece. I don't think I have ever seen her get an outfit wrong growing up!


BEST DRESSED: When I saw Branglenia strolling up the Red Carpet, my jaw dropped not only 'cause the flawless couple looked fantastic but out of the very few black gowns worn, Angelina did it the best! This Atelier Versace gown is absolutely stunning and could it have been on a more perfect individual. I couldn't help notice though that she didn't paint her toe nails with those peep toe shoes. Something to consider next time Angelina!


BEST DRESSED: I don't think in all my life could any woman get it wrong with a Giorgio Armani gown. Penelope Cruz looked a vision in this blue gown by the designer. One word- elegant.


WORST DRESSED: Okay, not every girl can get it right. Despite having the perfect date that is George Clooney, poor Stacy Keibler got it wrong with this Marchesa number. Not a fan of it's shine and amount of material at the waist.


BEST DRESSED: As the face of Dior, it only be appropriate that Nathalie Portman appear in not only one of the brand's dresses but also a vintage 1954 Dior Couture gown. The red and micro-dot print is adorable. Absolutely, loved this look.


WORST DRESSED: Again, Kelly Osbourne is no position to judge other people's fashion. She seems to be on every fashion panel for E! The way she criticizes everyone's outfit is beyond me when she looks a mess herself. This dress is not flattering. Nor is the latest hair do. Honey, sack your stylist!


WORST DRESSED: This Zac Posen piece combined with the blazer isn't an amazing look for the mature and classical Glenn Close. The color and style overall are not entirely flattering for this actress.


WORST DRESSED: Guiliana Rancic, again, is one not to judge on style. Last night, all I could think about was how rich is it that both her and Kelly Osbourne are judging when their outfits are far from great. She seemed so proud of this Tony Ward gown, but I'm not a huge fan of the look altogether to say the least.


BEST DRESSED: I cannot express enough how much I love Ellie Saab and seeing one of his visions on a beauty such as Milla Jovovich. A picture speaks a thousand words.... I'll leave you to judge this one because as far as I'm concerned I am speechless.


WORST DRESSED: Going against, all the positive comments I heard about this look... I really do not approve. Cameron Diaz is a stunner, but this Gucci gown doesn't do her any justice. It's too busy and in my opinion, messy along the bottom. It's not very A-line or flattering. Better luck next time Cameron!


BEST DRESSED: There are not enough words to describe the sheer elegance that is Gwyneth Paltrow and this Tom Ford gown. The combination? Fabulous! The cream cape combo made these screen siren stand out without a doubt. Stunning.

Overall, it was a beautiful night and everyone looked the epitome of glamorous! Congratulations to all the winners and all the nominees who graced the Kodak Theatre! Cannot wait for 2013!
