and the winner is....

Yes, they were clawing and scratching eyes to get that golden statue last night, but  the award today was for the k+b's best of the night! One rule this year is, I have to know who you are in oder to care what you are wearing, seriously. Lots of no name starletts on the rc. Were there just some major stars who skipped the show or red carpet last night?

SO,right to it.

The Queen

Jessica Chastain 

 (from The Help. )

in custom

ALEXANDER McQUEEN

 The was a hands down, no brainer decision for #1 of the night. Love the colors, the styling - hair/make-up, and the cool million in yellow diamond Harry Winston hanging from each ear. Will go down in Oscar history.

THE COURT

 Octavia " War damn Eagle" Spencer

in

Tadashi Shoji.

Wow!  knocked it totally out of the ball park, just look at her! This ladies over a size 2 is how you do it! Fits fantastic and she looks beautiful, and she walked away with the award!

Stacy Keibler 

in 

Marchesa

    A drapey gold lame´ Marchesa.. not something that you think I would ever like, but this is beautiful. Her coloring with the gold is perfect, and her date for the evening never hurts...

Penelope Cruz

custom Armami Prive

Our lovely princess wanna be looks fantastic! It photographs grey-ish, and I was a little turned off at first, but looking deeper it is , I am told ,periwinkle, but what put Ms. Cruz over the top is the trazillion of dollars in diamonds! 

"She accessorized with a matching clutch and platinum and diamond jewelry by Chopard that included pear-shaped necklace (56 carat), cluster earring (15 carats) and fancy-shape line bracelet (43 carats)." Lovely!

Gwyneth Paltrow

in 

Tom Ford

This was the controversy of the night, the Rorschach test of the night. Is it a totally fashion forward sleek as all get out full out Tom Ford dress for the Oscar History books or is it  bad Florance Nightingale drag. I am fully in the LOVE IT category. Not usually a fan of such pure minimalism on the red carpet, esp the OSCAR red carpet, but this just worked for me.

MORE TO COME....

As much as we hate to go here, we owe it to our readers to do this. I am sure all these ladies were trying their best last Sunday night, some just fell short for many reasons, so let's go:

worst dressed at the 2012 oscars
Mellisa McCarthy in
Marina Rinaldi

Really Kyle?, you went there? Come on where is your love for a fellow chubby? I am sorry but this is just a hot mess all over..... sleeves that add that much volume ?? Is this your first day being fat? The bust is not right, the color is all wrong.... We are sure she is a lovely woman, but this dress was not worthy of the night

Louise Roe in 

Black Halo

I do not know who this woman is - she was one of the hosts on the pre non E! red carpet coverage. Dahn and I both saw upscale Mother of the Bride in Dusty Rose.

Shailene Woodley in

Valentino

This is a beautiful dress, and if Angela Lansbury was wearing it, it might be on my other list... Miss Woodley is like 19 years old or something, show the goods while you can girl.

Kristen Wiig in

J. Mendel

LOOK! not only did I write The Bridesmaids, 

but I can make a gown out of ace bandages! Seriously, this in yellow, green,blue etc would be lovely.....

Glenn Close in 

Zac Posen

I just do not care for Zac Posen,who Glenn is very loyal to.
I do love Glenn Close, and the color is beautiful , hate the puff of stuff at the back, and a tux jacket is not appropriate for an Oscar Nominee , even if Meryl Streep is in the race. But, I will say that Glenn is wearing the hell out of it!
