oscars 2013

Oh what a night! This year the Oscars were all about sophistication, elegance, with just a little bit of cheek. Seth MacFarlane was a slightly awkward and surprising well-behaved host (most of the time), holding back a little bit on his usual risque humour, however the night was saved by the great combinations of presenters that read out the awards. Adele's performance of Skyfall, winner of best original song, was incredible and there was a heartfelt number performed by the Les Mis cast, as well as a standing ovation for Jennifer Hudson's song. Big congrats to Ang Lee for taking out the Best Director for Life of Pi (we cheered very loudly), Daniel Day-Lewis for Best Actor, Jennifer Lawrence for Best Actress (despite her on-stage stack), Christoph Waltz, Anne Hathaway and one over-zealous round of applause for Argo, winner of Best Picture!

our picks for best dressed

Naomi Watts 
100% flaw free. The asymmetric neckline and the all over glitz flattered everything and she just looked amazing, I can't even express how much I love this.

Samantha Barks

Her first Oscars for her first film and damn, she looked fine. Sam's dress was elegant, simple and sexy, the plunging neckline showing off that amazing body.

Amanda Seyfried

Absolutely stunning. The Les Mis girls really pulled out all the stops tonight, and Amanda was no exception. The cut and colour of this dress may be bland to some but she pulled it off looking beautiful as ever. The dress' texture made it interesting and the hair was simply perfect. 

Sally Field

You know what? It mightn't be the hippest or the sexiest gown on the carpet, but Sally proved that you can still dress like a superstar at 66 years of age. Props to Sally, she looked fab!

Special mentions also go to Jennifer Aniston in her simple-but-statement red gown, Sandra Bullock in her gorgeously embellished black dress that showed she still got it, and George Clooney's belle Stacy Keibler in sexy-sleek.
