Here’s part two of my style blog for the Oscar Awards. Here I will focus on the worst dressed and what the stars should have done differently to save their outfits from getting on this list. While some of the changes here are simple, some are total outfit fails so whenever you’re going out, keep in mind what you’re about to read here. You don’t want to hear gasps of shock and horror when you walk into the room; instead you want everyone to be awestruck by your beauty!
Here are my worst 5 dressed at the Oscar Awards!
Anne Hathaway usually looks amazing even when she isn’t trying, especially with her new sexy short hair, but her outfit at the Oscars was a TOTAL miss. It looks like the first draft of what could have been a really amazing dress. The fit was off, it wasn’t cut correctly (just look at the seam lines over her breasts), and it looks like it’s bunched up where the seams are. The colour of it was even off and it washed out her beautiful complexion. This dress was not Oscar worthy, and she should have worn something that didn’t look like a first year fashion student made it. A nice darker silver/grey, silk dress with a similar silhouette would have been perfect for her.
Brandi Glanville has a nice dress but she wore it way too low. Her dress was a nip slip waiting to happen, but luckily for her no such incident occurred. If she would have pulled it up a bit and covered her breasts a bit more, the look would have went from trashy to classy just like that *snaps fingers*. Next time she should opt in for a dress with a less revealing neckline, or add something to cover up a little bit. You always want to be classy ladies, never trashy!
Helena Bonham Carter’s look was an absolute fail. Nothing about this look worked at all, and it looked like she was getting ready to go out to a Halloween party. Her hair was unbrushed and messy (not in a good, sexy way either), and the star hairclips didn’t help. The dress was even worse. It looks like something an old witch would wear and it is very unflattering to her figure. If I was her stylist I would have gave her a clean, curly updo instead of having hair hanging in her face, and I would have definitely avoided the star hairclips. I would have also put her in something that hugged her curves a bit and didn’t have cascading ruffles of black, grey and white. It’s very hard to pull of ruffles and multiple colours, especially with semi-transparent fabric. I hope her next event has a better outcome for her appearance.
Kristen Stewart has had her fair share of fashion hits and misses, and this look was a big miss. When I first saw her all I could think was “she’s a human rectangle”. The dress did nothing for her curves, and it added too many pounds to too many places. The fluffy effect from the fabric at the bottom of the dress didn’t look good either. She should have stuck with a dress in a similar colour to the one she had, but she should have gone with one that wasn’t bulky and lacy. The thickness of the lace bunches up too much and ruins the allure of most lace dresses. Next time she should stick to either thinner, curve hugging lace or skip lace all together and get something that drapes nicely and flows around her body.
Melissa McCarthy had a nice dress but it hugged her in all the wrong places. I LOVE when plus sized women go out rocking every inch of their perfect looks in public, but this dress did not do that for her! It hugged her in the wrong places and bunched up too much around her hips and arms. If the dress would have been pulled in a little more around her waist and not right on her hips, and if the dress wouldn’t have been clipped together on her left hip bone, it would have looked better. Having it bunch up a little around her waist and then flow smoothly down and past her hips could have changed the look, and the addition of a bright belt would have been perfect.
That’s the end of my list but now I want to hear what you think! Do you agree with my list and if not, why? Tell me in the comments, can’t wait to hear from you!

I completely agree with you, especially about Anne Hathaway’s dress! What was she thinking? I expected so much more from her.

Thank you! It’s so sad when megastars walk red carpets wearing something that doesn’t live up to their reputation. They need to think carefully about what they wear because honestly it only ends up hurting their reputation and image in the end.
