I am wondering if the R16 outfit looks worse because of the angle of the shot. Let's see if there are any other photos of it from a better angle, although it does seem less-so than the others. All the others. So unformed. But kind of a African-class-meet-the-Windsors look.

Lord, she certainly has found a great stylist or team. Better than anyone else's. Her healthy, wholesome, non-idiosyncratic, almost generic look actually adds to the dazzling presentation she makes.

The grease stain on that brownish-beigish-apricotish (what is it?) dress in R11 is unfortunate.

Is there any color that doesn't look wonderful on her? That yellow!

I hope she gets some good roles, and doesn't just remain a red carpet darling. She has real talent and great beauty. Get smart Hollywierd and give her a love interest starring part.

Don't put her with BillyBob, or make her show her tits to Travolta, give her some fine ass man and a good script. Have a go at some sexy murderous glamour. Avoid franchises, Tyler Perry and Catwoman. Just say no to Rosa Parks.

(But when they do it, and they will, she should play Whitney Houston.)

It's too bad more actresses (and their stylists) don't have such a good sense of what clothes suit them. Lupita is indeed lovely, but isn't it odd we're all shocked that an actress actually looks good on the red carpet? They should *all* look good. Instead, most of them don't even wear clothes that fit properly.

Questions:

When designers loan out these clothes to the stars, do they mind if they get altered? Could that be why there are so many ill fitting garments on the red carpet? What do they with the worn clothes once they are returned?

by Anonymousreply 94February 21, 2014 4:24 AM

Great question, R94. I'd love to know the mechanics of it too. Do the celebs ever get to keep the gown? (Not sure they'd want it. Can they really be re-worn?)

I know I've read -- prolly on TLo's blog -- the alterations are sometimes done with tape. So that the dress can easily be returned to its original size and condition.

And I hope some designers are volunteering to dress June Squibb. I imagine Armani is not beating down her door. :-(

And I know J. Lawrence has this big deal with C. Dior. I wonder if she ALWAYS has to wear something from them...

I don't think there is such a thing as "too much" at the Oscars. It's the crown jewel of the awards season. (Unless we mean too much neutral-tones/blandness, like last year's Oscar red carpet.) The only other appropriate events for that kind of gown are Cannes or maybe an AMFAR gala. But like I said, I have managed my expectations about her (not) wearing it.

I agree, 9 times out of 10, she looks great. She wears clothes well, and she can pull off a lot of colors, textures, and patterns.

I think actually that is more of a third world vs first world difference. People in third world countries are more concerned about carrying themselves well and about personal presentation that looks good and commands respect. Even without having much money they will tend to do their best to look immaculate and nicely dressed. People in first world countries, especially white ones, tend to celebrate comfortable and casual and not to work much on things like their posture. I can't recall ever hearing someone from the third world describing looking scruffy as "being real".

I've seen Lupita mention that her mother required Lupita and her siblings to always set out and iron their clothes for the next day. When was the last time you heard that about American kids, rich or poor?

Third world people also tend to be a lot more physically fit and active than most Americans, which creates a better and more poised body.

For me, her dress was a knockout in a different sort of way. Yup! Everyone was expecting a "hit the ball out of the park" given her other red carpet appearances. This dress did so too but in a more subtle way.

The way the dress moved and how Lupita wore it reminded me of those Chanel commercials. I immediately thought that Chanel should be calling her right away. The dress was a "fairy princess" type dress which any girl (and a lot of boys)would like to wear. Given her acceptance speech, the dress was very appropriate.

The color and fabric of the dress were lovely but I did not like the bodice. I don't like those deep cuts to the waist on anyone but it was especially unfortunate on her with her very flat chest. I also didn't care for the band in her hair and it was the first time I thought her hair was unflattering. It just didn't work with that dress.

I liked the dress by the end of the evening but found it underwhelming at first. I was expecting something bolder in color and in cut. But the color and the skirt grew on me.

Like with Gwyneth, wearing a dress that accentuates that you have no chest is not a good idea. I never realized Lupita was so flat-chested until last night.

So, top half - miss; bottom half - hit.

Anyone remember Spy magazine? They used to call this the "I'm ready for my autopsy, Mr. Coroner" look.

I think Lupita is great, and I loved the dress as long as I wasn't looking at her chest bones. She doesn't need fake mega-tits but it would have been better if she had a little more fat covering her sternum. Oh well can't have everything I guess.

Over all, I thought she looked like an angel in that heavenly blue dress. The headband was a delightfully girlish touch and I'm surprised at how well it worked with her edgier hair cut. The earrings were a touch much tho. I would have gone with either the headband or the earrings, not both. JMO.

I like her small bust too, R177 but I don't find that plunging neckline the most flattering. But she has fantastic poise and as you say can pull off just about anything.

By the they pronounced her the winner and she was making her way upstage, it had, for me, the prettiest dress of the night. It was perfect and I agree about it flowing and moving beautifully and magically like a fairy tale.

If she said she was "blessed" to be on this "journey" one more time, everyone woulda slapped her. And we've also had more than enough of the public relations canard that she was some poor, unfortunate, undiscovered African waif who just happened to rocket to stardom. She is a rich, educated woman in her mid 30s with mucho influential connections, not some wide-eyed innocent who just fell off the Nigerian turnip truck.

And when she referred to the gorgeous green Prada number as her 'taxi dress', she meant the dress was similar in spirit - if not in form - as those Charles James creations that were so well-made that they could be slipped on at the back of a cab.

From Wiki:

'According to Harold Koda, The Costume Institute curator in charge, James "transformed fashion design" and his "many advancements included the spiral cut and the taxi dress (created in 1929 and so easy to wear it could be slipped on in the backseat of a taxi)."[6] '

So the green dress was a rather clever and witty tribute to Charles James after all.

And it's fun and daring, absolutely the kind of risk-taking creation suited for a gala at the Metropolitan MUSEUM.
