Loved The Oscars 2012 red carpet arrivals (see Yahoo! gallery for more.) I’m usually an Angelina Jolie loyalists and she did look fabulous (see here), but this year it was the color of the dresses that caught my eye!
The standouts were definitely white hot! My favorite vision in white has to be Gwyneth Paltrow in Tom Ford. It was an exquisite ensemble fit for a bonafide Hollywood actress.
My choice for best dressed is one in full color! I adore Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton. She looks beautiful in the burnt orange color. The cameras pick it up as red but you can tell it’s not that simple…the color is more complex. The dress fits her perfectly and the simple and stunning necklace as well as the smart little bow on her waist are spot on accents. I really think this look just captures the essence of 2012 and the fact that Michelle Williams is really coming into her own as an actress– making the move from a young ingenue to a much celebrated Hollywood leading lady.
This is a very sophisticated, smart and polished Oscar look. It’s not over the top. It is just right…bright and modern. It is haute & happy.
