Best Dressed

Did you watch the Oscars last night? I’m notorious for having award shows on in the background while working on a project, making dinner or checking e-mail. So I always miss a little here and there, but I did catch two stunning gowns.

I haven’t fully embraced Miley Cyrus as an adult celebrity yet, but this dress by Jenny Packham was perfectly demure and sophisticated. I thought she looked terrific.

Don’t the beads on her skirt twinkle like the candlelight lining these concrete steps?

I decided this bedroom with luxuriously lived-in crisp white bedding, paired with an elegant peach-toned headboard and soft layers was just right.

There were lots of princess gowns, which I didn’t love; a handful of architectural statements, that were too much for my taste; and plenty of color; all of which I think were trumped this year by the rosy tones and ethereal layers like the dresses above.

What do you think? Were you drawn to a favorite dress or trend?

    I loved Rachel McAdams’ Elie Saab gown. Muted watercolors, flowing…

    I am NOT a Miley Cyrus fan AT ALL. But I saw this dress and thought it would be the prettiest wedding dress!

    I thought Sandra Bullock was beautiful… the entire look was stunning. What a great room it would be… lots of sparkly pale neutrals with a hit of hot pink!

    Miley Cyrus’ outfit… demure? The child is seventeen and wearing a bustier over her little-girl chest. And you can’t see it very well here, but she had bikin lines. Her mother should have told her to cover-up before leaving the house…

      Fair enough, Jin! You make a valid point…it’s one of the things I often dislike about young celebs. I suppose I landed on the L.A. side of demure this time, which I don’t often do. Thanks for weighing in!

    Rachel Zoe dresses Demi, and I always love what Rachel chooses.

    Juliet, reading my post again, I realized it sounded like I was criticizing you– and I really didn’t mean to. I always tell myself to re-read anything I post online, but alas…
    Anyway, my little rant against Miley’s outfit stems from the fact that I have a sister Miley’s age and it makes me sad to see young Hollywood promoting skin and no substance (and bad tan lines). Anyway, I hope you understand, my apologies (again!).
