and the winners are...

it's like an Oscar for the red carpet at the Oscars.  winners of the fave dress awards.   and it's a three way tie ladies and gentlemen. 

let's start with the big winner of the little gold statue.  Sandra Bullock.  oh Sandy... i can't even be sad you didn't wear McQueen - because you looked so perfect in Marchesa.  like seriously perfect.  the fact that it was a soft gold at the Oscars which you were destined to win - fashion kismet.  what put me into palpitations though was the detailing at the top.  GORGE.  lovely and amazing. it's not till you look really closely that you see just how beautiful this dress really is.  LOVE  (and i can't not mention that i am thrilled she won.  i heart SB)

next up in the winner's circle, Maggie Gyllenhal.  stunner missy - stunner.  i'm a sucker for the color - and the dress, by Dries van Noten was both simple, and kind of far out in the most perfect of ways.  there's not much else to say except that she look absolutely gorgeous. 

last but not least - my girl crush Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab.  this is one of the prettier dresses i have seen in a long time.  it's not "fabulous" or "amazing" in a big grand sense - but it is just plain beautiful.  in a sea of people that may be trying a little too hard - this was a refreshing breath of fresh air.  she did it, as the fairy tale says, juuuust right.

and there it is stylies...  champagne wishes and caviar dreams of awards season have wound down.  this little party is over.  until the next time round.   well played to all the winners.  live long and dress nicely.
