The Crafty Practitioner's Oscar Fashion Awards 2014

Best Dressed Girl of 2014 Oscars-

 I find that Giuliana never lets me down. She is gorgeous and this dress compliments her perfectly. The color is luxurious and the fullness of the gown is so complimentary to her body frame. The neckline shows off her collarbones and with the detail of the bodice of the dress I am so glad that she didn't wear a necklace with it. Having her hair pulled back and a gorgeous glitzy earring was the way to go! Kudos Giuliana, you get my highest mention tonight. You took my breath away and out dressed all the stars, in my opinion! (Did I mention that she was my best dressed at another award show already this year? She is ON POINT!)

Best Dressed Man of 2014 Oscars-

Is there anything to say other than YUM! He is just so hot. Bradley Cooper looked classic, sophisticated, and edible.

Was she TRIPPING ON ACID when she chose this?

I certainly hope not because she is pregnant, at least I hope that is the situation ;)

This is, by far, the biggest mess of the night. That silhouette is all wrong for a baby bump. You need to accentuate it without making you like a man with a beer belly. She needed elastic under her bust to pull the dress in and no elastic under the belly. WHAT A MESS. This designer needs to hide.

Stop it with the statements already-

Can't you just let us like you Pharrell? Your music is awesome, you never age, you are usually good looking then 2014 hits and your hats and shorts appear. COME ON! This isn't classy, formal, fashion forward, anything of the sort. BLAH! Worst dressed man of the night.

Like a glove-

This dress looks like it was made for Idina Menzel, she wore it that way too! The color and fit was perfection. BRAVO! Hot Mama! This was a close contender for best dressed for me. Did I mention that I love Rent and Frozen? ;)

Human Blueberry-

Silk Pajamas? Turned to a blueberry at Wonka's Candy Factory?

Either way, I hate it.

Work, Bitch!

Hot Hot Hot! Kate Hudson knew what she was doing when she picked this, she looks like a million bucks!

Searching for a Stylist-

I am now certain and Anna Kendrick doesn't have a stylist and will be hiring on. This was a total miss and with her body there is no excuse for that.

Gravity won't take her down-

Sandra Bullock just doesn't age. She is gorgeous and her skin is flawless. This color is GREAT on her and the hairstyle was perfect. This was SO much better than the color blocking disaster at the Golden Globes, we will consider that a momentary judgement lapse because she is usually on point.

His hair & Her dress than looks like it has hair-

Nope, no no no. Brad needs to get himself together. And her dress is just not ok. I hate the sheer top part, I don't like the elastic waist placement when you see her from any other angle and I am not digging the sleeves. This power couple missed the mark for me.

Perfect HAIR to compliment the dress-

It is no secret that I love braids. This dress is so pretty and I love the loose, pretty hairstyle with braids and wisps! Maria Menounos looked etherial!

She used to be so pretty-

What happened Portia? Ugh, so bad. looks like a witchcraft map made out of cookie dough.

I love LACE-

and I love Julia Roberts!


Who did you love and hate this red carpet?

The Crafty Practitioner's Red Carpet Awards- Golden Globes Edition

Carpet season is just that, CARPET season. I don't watch the award shows, I only watch the red carpet specials. I live for the fashion home runs and flops. It is great to see how takes a chance and who decides to wear something classic and perfect. Every carpet show shocks me and I can never get enough.  After much deliberation and voting (by me, myself, and I) these the awards that I am issuing for the 2014 Golden Globes...

Crafty Practitioner's Favorite Look of the Night:

Work it, Maria! The hot pink is fantastic and the gold is a perfect accent, especially because gold is so hot right now {insert Zoolander face here}. If I had her body I would be calling around trying to get an imitation of this dress!

Most Unexpected Mess from Head to Toe:

Hayden, Hayden, Hayden... how did you miss the mark by so much this time?! That hair! That dress! That neckline! Those shoes! Ugh. Fire your stylist, quickly.

Your Stylist Needs a Raise:

Ms. Margoulais is just timeless isn't she? Her skin always looks flawless, her hair is fantastic, her dress fits her like a glow. Her stylist did a damn good job. Consider this a virtual back pat!

Are You Colorblind Award:

I love Sandra, I really do, but this is bad. The baby pink and baby blue on one dress is a disaster. Look away, it will burn your retinas if you look directly at it too long.

Bangin' Body Award:

She has children and look at that figure. She works her ass off (pun intended) for that shape. The color is amazing on her and compliment the simplicity of the dress so well, if this was plain black it would not be as stunning. This jewel tons puts it over the edge. Rock it, Reese!

The Look that causes me Inner Turmoil:

I love Julia, her movies, her personality, her red carpet interviews, all of her. BUT this dress throws me off. If she just took off the button up it would be fabulous. Her makeup and hair look great, her figure looks awesome, its just that shirt! Is she harnessing her inner Meryl Streep  and Diane Keaton?

Baby-Bumpalicious:

Is it legal to look that good when pregnant? Olivia Wilde needs to kiss her stylist and her trainer.

Just Cast as "The Purple People Eater":

Oh wait, she wasn't dressed up as the Purple People Eater? Crap, this is just really bad then.

Crack Kills:

Or in this case it kills your ability to dress fashionably... or ever appropriately. 

and last but not least my other favorite of the night...

Etherial Perfection:

This is just so pretty. I feel like it is classic and might even be vintage. If not, I want it when it is.

And there you have it. Until the next red carpet event..
