One man’s thoughts on the Oscar fashion parade
David Wolfe, creative director of the Donegar Group, a trend forecasting company based in New York, is one of my go-to sources when I’m writing about trends and fashon. Here’s what he had to say about Oscar fashion. Agree or disagree?
I was encouraged that there was more individuality (though it sometimes led the ladies astray). Not as much flashy vulgarity as we’ve come to expect, not as many actresses who could be mistaken for sucessful ladies of the evening. I liked the fact that messy hair finally seems passe. Kate Winslet’s gown I found matronly, Marisa Tomei’s quite overwhelming. Sarah Jessica Parker seems to think she’s a Barbie Doll. Ms. Streep looked elegant, age appropriate and lovely … unlike Sophia Loren who looked like a caricature of herself. By and large, I believe that the entire Red Carpet parade is looking out of synch with a nation in economic trouble…I kept thinking about Marie Antoinette … and look what happened to her!
Top 4 jewelry picks from the Oscars
The Academy Awards show is over, but the chatter continues. Who wore what gown best? Who needed a shot of color? Who needed a dress one size larger? Ahhh, fashion writers can’t quit talking. Me included.
Fashion is subjective, we all know that. Put me in a room with five other fashion writers and my red carpet faves may be on someone else’s worst list. It happens.
Here are four of my favorite jewelry looks, not in any particular order. For more on Oscar fashion, check out The Oklahoman’s photo gallery with my comments.
Love Amy Adams’ necklace.
Check out Heidi Klum’s arm candy. I want some. Earrings, too.
Love the shape of Angelina Jolie’s emerald earrings. A bit unexpected, but she rocked it. They looked great with her black fitted gown.
Taraji P. Henson’s superize necklace looked great with her white gown.
