Women are subject to this kind of criticism so often, it's interesting to see the tables turned! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars/page/2#post-1625144 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 12:29:59 +0000 RoseandJoan 1625144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, what Jenny Beavan did took guts and was authentic to her, she had already been called a bag lady by her friend Stephen Fry at the BAFTAs so to walk up on stage wearing her customised M&amp;S jacket deserves applause. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars/page/2#post-1625123 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 08:03:16 +0000 Meredith 1625123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much to love about Oscars this year. &nbsp;Best of all...watching with you! &nbsp;</p> <p>Loved Priyanka Chopar's dress.

But here in Germany the Oscar parties started at 11 PM - on a Sunday - just couldn't do it...</p> <p>My favorites: Charlotte Rampling (!!), Olivia Munn (!), Charlize Theron, Julianne Moore, Pharell's wife, and Jared Leto. I wanted to love Cate Blanchett but there was something that didn't quite worked for me and I think it has something to do with age. </p> <p>I am still trying to recover from Heidi Klum's look (who I often quite enjoy on the red carpet) - haven't managed to "un-see" the lilac poof...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622973 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 01:47:10 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1622973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, what a great connection - that she and your sister make such an amazing film! These definitely sound like they are well worth watching!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622970 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 01:43:28 +0000 catgirl 1622970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, what fantastic descriptions! Now I feel like I did watch!</p> <p>Priyanka Chopra is a Bollywood star already and yes, gorgeous. </p> <p>Sharmeen has several films worth seeing... the one she directed with my sister, of course , about the female UN peacekeepers, and also her first short doc which won an Oscar as well, Saving Face, about the doctor who does facial reconstruction for girls and women who are victims of acid attacks. Talk about making a difference through film - she is amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622968 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 01:37:19 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1622968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved it all! I thought Chris Rock was wonderful - I felt nervous, but felt like he handled the "elephant in the room" as you say with a strong dose of genuine sincerity along with the humor, which is what made it for me. </p> <p>Oh goodness, the dresses were to die for. I'm not sure I even saw one I did not like. It was a lovely extravaganza of color, texture, and style. These stood out for me:<br /> Priyanka Chapra - I'm not sure it was the dress, but she is just so gorgeous, I think I would be speechless if I saw her IRL.<br /> Chrissy Teigen - She was flawless and elegant with her baby bump in that beautiful lace dress. Wow!<br /> Olivia Wilde - I didn't mind that she showed so much skin. I felt like it would have been too much on anyone else, but in white and with her unique exotic poise, it just worked.<br /> Olivia Munn - Of course. I mean, seriously?! She is probably the universal winner.<br /> Cate Blanchett - That was absolutely, completely HER. It was not the dress so much that I loved, but just that the dress became part of her and she was this lovely sculptural piece of art.<br /> Kate Winslet - I can't tell you what she wore or how her hair was - I just felt like every time the camera found her, she was a picture of grace and delight for everyone's big moment. She could have been in a brown paper sack for all I knew or cared. She is Kate and I love her for it. </p> <p>Moments of the night:<br /> Best speech: Mark Rylance. I felt like he was just gracious, humble and sincere. I also loved his performance in the movie. He was subtly brilliant. (But I haven't seen all of the other movies to compare.)<br /> Most touching moment: Lady Gaga's performance. I was chocked up - it was just so moving...<br /> Most well deserved award: Charmeen Obaid-Chinoy for her documentary. That kind of film is life changing.<br /> Just because: Leo. I love Leo. And Jacob Tremblay was adorable. That kid will be around for a long time. He seems like another Dakota Fanning.</p> <p>And I totally thought of you the instant Spotlight won!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622927 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 23:13:22 +0000 rachylou 1622927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Manners special was very very cool. Had some very interesting things to say about the clothing and what it told you about the times. Prompted my mum and me to a discussion of history that roamed from German cutlery to Sir Francis Drake to the differences between the geopolitical organization of the western and eastern US </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622857 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 20:31:08 +0000 Sal 1622857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did not watch the ceremony although have seen snippets (Leo's speech, some of Chris Rock)...so I am relying on online pictures for the most part.</p> <p>I loved these looks:<br />- Charlotte Rampling - so elegant and classy<br />- Cate Blanchett - stunning in seafoam<br />- Daisy Ridley - modern sparkle<br />- Brie Larson - I thought the dress had lovely shape and movement<br />- Saoirse Ronan - very alluring </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622842 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 19:59:45 +0000 Angie 1622842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great assessment, Marina. Loved hearing your emotional take on the awards ceremony. Between Chris Rock, Whoopi, Joe Biden and Lady Gaga - it WAS an emotional night.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622840 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 19:58:30 +0000 Beth Ann 1622840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Olivia Munn and Daisy Ridley were my faves, although I must admit no patience for awards shows. &nbsp;I catch up on all the best bits the day after! &nbsp;I watched a special on the Manners of Downtown Abbey, which aired on PBS last night. &nbsp;It &nbsp;had lots of great fashiony details. &nbsp;I highly recommend it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622839 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 19:56:45 +0000 Marina 1622839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just watched Oscar reprise on TNT. I really really liked:</p> <p>- Rachel McAdamns, Charlize Theron, Julianne Moore and Sophia Vergara looks. They were all stunning and theirs looks were incredible well chosen for their natural figures and styles. Distinctive mentions to&nbsp;Olivia Munn and&nbsp;Saoirse Ronan dresses. Olivia's had a mix of simple lines, elegance, harmony and a sutil oriental hint that totally got me and Saoirse's dress texture was amazing and they did really good use of it.</p> <p>- Di Caprio's acceptance speech and the way Chris Rock and Whoopi Goldberg had deal with the prejudice underlying theme in this Oscar ceremony. In my opinion they made fun of both prejudice and fake anti-prejudice attitudes without demeaning the real problem in a quite brilliant way.</p> <p>- And last, the most shining star of this night for me was Lady Gaga. I loved her dress-pants and her look would be one of my favorites anyway, but I had my eyes full of tears when she finished her performance. I'm not exactly what people would call emotive, but sexual violence is something that knocks my emotional defenses completely down. In that moment she and all those victims who performed with her, in their simple "real" clothes, outshone everything else in my eyes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622837 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 19:55:48 +0000 Angie 1622837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH, Laura. There you go. You've had a GBP affect on me after all these years.&nbsp;</p> <p>Susie, I guess Chris Rock was all in or all out! He chose ALL in.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622835 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 19:52:41 +0000 Laura 1622835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cate's dress took my breath away. Again, Naomi Watts killed it. And the best part of all? Angie chose Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers' date as BEST DRESSED. lol .... Of course Olivia Munn stands tall on her own merits without Aaron. But still: Go Pack. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622833 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 19:41:22 +0000 Susie 1622833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cate Blanchett looked stunning....what a gorgeous dress on a truly lovely lady. WOW. My other favorites were Saoirse Ronan and Rooney Mara's. Totally different looks yet equally dramatic.</p> <p>Chris Rock looked terrific in the white jacket. I enjoyed his monologue and thought he handled the diversity issue expertly. But I was disappointed that he carried the topic throughout the show. He was fair and funny and balanced but not ever moving on detracted from the show in my opinion.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622830 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 19:37:40 +0000 Angie 1622830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES, Shannon. I'm just all over Jacob Tremblay - and saw him get all excited when the bots came on stage. Extremely talented and adorable.</p> <p>Shannon &amp; JAilleen, glad that Saoirse Ronan made your faves list too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Una, it's been milder in Seattle too. I'm not complaining.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622823 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 19:10:09 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1622823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Oscars and never miss it! </p> <p>My favorite dress hands down was Cate Blanchett. I swear that gorgeous creature could make a potato sack look amazing. The dress made me think of a wood nymph... My second favorite was Saoirse Ronan - that emerald green was magic on her and she looked so at ease in the dress.</p> <p>For the gents, my favorite was Jared Leto. I adored the red piping on his suit and the flower on his collar rather than a tie. But if wanting traditional, old Hollywood style, Leonardo DiCaprio was your man.</p> <p>Wasn't Jacob Tremblay adorable when the Star Wars characters came out on stage? I loved that camera shot when he stood up and leaned over so he could see them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622809 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 18:08:09 +0000 Carla 1622809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Posted my faves last night on your other thread, but will repeat -<br /> Charlotte Rampling and Olivia Munn were my faves.</p> <p>I liked the black and (ink) blue tuxes, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622807 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 18:07:21 +0000 rachylou 1622807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved the choice of a white jacket for Chris Rock. And sparkly suit guy... And I think a little bit of justice was served for Leo. He's good and his baby face has gotten in the way for a long time... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622805 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 18:05:31 +0000 JAileen 1622805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I wanted to watch the show, but a power outage for the first two hours prevented that. I did watch Chris Rock's monologue on youtube. I also liked the girl scout cookie money raising. My favorite dress so far was Saoirse Ronan's. It was a great color on her. She looked familiar to me - she was the pastry chef in the Grand Budapest Hotel. Cate Blanchett always looks lovely, but I didn't care for the 3D effect of her dress.</p> <p>Una, the documentary winner has made more of an impact than all the others combined. Good for her! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622801 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 17:55:00 +0000 catgirl 1622801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, yes- truly making a difference. Leo's speech really hit home too . Here in AK we have had nothing but rain all winter, and I have worn gloves maybe twice. It was 50 degrees yesterday! Something is really wrong when it's not cold in Alaska in winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622796 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 17:42:58 +0000 kkards 1622796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hands down my fav of the night was Olivia Munn--stunning. also loved Jared Leto.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622789 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 17:15:44 +0000 Angie 1622789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Tanya. Sophie's dress was lovely in its simplicity, and I LOVE that shade of aqua on Cate's dress.</p> <p>Diana, Naomi Watts was gorgeous as ever. I am putting her on my list. Thanks for the reminder.&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh my goodness, Una. YES! Sharmeen's short movie <i>changed the law in Pakistan</i>. VERY powerful and moving. <b>WOW.</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>Lisa, Cate scares you? Etheral - YES. I think she walks on water - like Christian Bale.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622786 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 17:09:43 +0000 Penny 1622786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed, especially about Cate - she looked classic, ethereal, and modern, which is a feat that perhaps only she could accomplish! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-of-the-2016-oscars#post-1622785 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 17:05:51 +0000 Anonymous 1622785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too loved Chris Rock, and his tux. He's so awesome. I love everything about him. He can pretty much do no wrong in my book.<br />I thought Charlize Theron and Olivia Wilde also looked amazing.</p>
