Couture Hangover

I am exhausted from last night--and it's not a result of the cheap champagne so much as the tough scrutinizing that went on. Let's just cut right to the chase, shall we?

I LOVE YOU:

The twenty-something was stunning in this fairy-princess-grows-up silk chiffon number with lace detailing on the bodice and shirring down the skirt. The perfect marriage of romantic ease and sexy glam, Mila's lavendar statement was age-appropriate, beautiful, and effortlessly chic.

Melissa is lovely strong, and--dare we say--a tad rough around the edges. I thought this lace-overlay gown with gold sequins peeking through was a fun, inventive way to make a statement on the carpet without trything too hard. The easy-does-it approach to hair and makeup was refreshing too.

Still a princess in my eyes, Miss Hathaway charmed in this elegantly detailed, beaded, perfectly-shaped gown that only she could have pulled off. I adore the deep red, thought brown California waves were a great touch, and could not get over that demure, perfect cleavage. Va-va voom!

This Old Hollywood look was perfect for last night. Fresh and fun without being too young for her 36 years, the gown hugged her great curves and didn't reveal too much. The deep blue hue, fun-loving sequins and cap sleeves were swoon-worthy, while side-parted loose waves made for a vintage beauty from head to toe.

I DON'T LOVE YOU:

Anne Hathaway is a classic beauty with a funky twist, but this was just all wrong. From the crazed, ringleted updo to the awkward feather-print detail and layers of Victorian-era funeral ruffles below, it was hate-hate-hate for me through and through. The only saving grace of this monstrosity was the lovely shape of the bodice. I adore you, Vivienne Westwood, but really--what the BLEEP happened here?

Maybe this would work on the runway--or even in a different color--but this origami-inspired bridal gown-gone-wrong just did not work for me. Lovely beadwork on the bodice; absolutely insane silhouette from the waist down. Nicole made me sad last night, when usually she stuns.

How is it possible to make such a thin gal look tummy-ish? All around, this was just bad. Bad color, bad tulle, bad hair. Marisa, I expected more from you.

I get that being preggers is tough, but Natalie is young and porcelain and chic. She could have done much better than this! At this stage in the pregnancy, why not throw on something form fitting so the bump can shine? Trying to mask it beneath layers of flowing fuscia chiffon was just an odd choice. I'm kind of over her. Sorry to rag on the pregnant girl...but let's face it, she had a great night nonetheless.
