Hey Limette's!
We have loved them all; the Emmys, Golden Globes, SAG, Grammys & Sundance red carpets, but when it comes to Hollywood glamour, nothing is like the Academy Awards. For 82 years the stars of Hollywood prep & primp for this honored day in the world of glitz & glamour and I am glad they do! Lets be honest Limette's - the Academy award red carpet is the grand finale of award shows and truly the most fabulous when it comes to fashion & style. Which, of course, is why we at LLD are so excited when it comes around.
Here are my picks for the best dressed from the 2010 Academy Award...
I honestly don't know what eptomizes glamour more, Jennifer Lopez or Armani Privee. But when you put the two together, fashion fireworks happen! JLo was back from the block & better than ever looking radiant in a dramatic and very-oscar gown by Armani Privee. While I enjoyed her daring look at the Grammy's, this certainly made up for the risk that didn't necessarily pay off! This look hit the red carpet jackpot!
All hail the most respected, honored and effortlessly chic woman in Hollywood. A personal favorite of mine, Meryl Streep wow'd us all again with an elegantly draped white gown designed by Project Runway winner Chris March. I applaud Chris for being so spot-on when it comes to designing for a woman who could look glamorous in a garbage bag; simple elegance was all she needed & Chris did it effortlessly. I applaud Merly because, well, she is Merly Streep and she is what all woman should want to be; poised, polished and respected.
While not everyone agreed with me on this, I thought Maggie Gyllenhall's Dries Van Noten gown was beautiful & surprising. Taking a stand against the tulle, organza and trains of the red carpet, Maggie chose a dress that set her apart from the other beautiful women on the carpet. She is beautiful & humble, qualities that land her on this list without the beautiful gown.
Three words: Chanel Haute Couture. That alone gets her on this list, because not only did she dress from the house of Chanel, she was able to both understand the garment & pull it off effortlessly. Three more words: Sarah Jessica Parker. Arguably one of the only women in Hollywood who is capable of pulling off a runway look at noon on a sunday or of wearing such a delicate & wonderfully constructed haute couture gown. SJP looked radient in this Chanel frock & accessorized with an eternally handsome husband, runway approved hair & makeup and layered bracelets with subtle earrings. I mean- need I say more?
**Little Lime Dress Voted Sandra Bullock as Best Dressed**
Sandra Bullock turned every head on the red carpet when she stepped out in this Marchesa gown. She sparkled & shimmered from head to toe, walking the red carpet with her radiance and confidence 3 ft in front of her! Kudos to her stylist for knowing that this woman needed an oscar-winning gown. Sandra went on to win Best Actress for her role in The Blind Side & gave a speech as elegant and graceful as her head to toe chic style. Hands down, Sandra wins for LLD's best dressed!
C'est la vie Award Season... Until Next Time!
Lots of Lime,
