Oscars 2015 Fashion - My Vague Take On It!

On Sunday night it was the Oscars. A time when all of Hollywood's most attractive, talented and a few people who you wonder quite how they got an invite, go and watch a really long awards show waiting to see what famous person will cry first. As a media graduate, I should probably do a blog all about the films and the cinematography and the acting, but I've never been one to be predictable. Plus I'm not planning on paying to go the cinema to watch all of them. And unless the Hannah Montana movie is nominated - I ain't interested. Another reason why the Oscars are so big is the fashion. People get really excited by what dress someone will wear and then tweet about it constantly for the following days. I wish someone did that about my new checked shirt. I'm clearly not a fashion blogger. I know more about how to make jam than I do about fashion. And I can assure you that there's more chance of me never drinking again than making jam successfully. I couldn't even write a paragraph about what I know about fashion. But why should I let that stop me. So I've decided to rate some of the best and worst outfits from the night. Essentially I've just been on sites like Entertainment Weekly, E! and Glamour, robbed their choices and offered my own second rate opinion, going off topic as usual. Plus it means I'm not delving into my personal life and drunken experiences for once. 

These are in no particular order, because, effort. 

1) Emma Stone

6/10
I adore Emma Stone. She seems hilarious, lovely and like she would be amazing on a night out. She can act, sing and dance. I feel like she's me if I had any actual talent. I like every film she's in that I've seen, especially Easy A. No one ever appreciated Natasha Bedingfield enough until that film came about. And if you get that reference then we should be best mates, or at least mild acquaintances. This outfit has topped loads of best dressed lists so apparently it's dead nice. I'm not so much of a fan, only because the colour reminds me of a dodgy lemon. But Emma Stone could make anything look good, even the darkest of my wardrobe disasters, so clearly she still looks flawless. 

2) Keira Knightley

3/10
Oh Keira, no. No. No. It looks like she's took a wrong turn into a thorny bush and then a rogue child who scribbled a few words onto it. I kid you not, I'm pretty sure I technically helped design this dress on a school trip where we had to make a dress out of nothing so we just stuck leaves and magazine cuttings to a bin bag. And that looked nicer. But bless her, she does have a nice face, and she was in Bend It Like Beckham which is one of my all time favourite films. She should have got an Oscar for that one, such a hit. 

3) Solange Knowles

2/10

Clearly being Beyonce's sister doesn't always have perks. When she's not attacking Jay Z in a lift (I hear you sister, I've nearly hit my sister's boyfriends' too, a gal's got to do what a gal's got to do), she's clearly wearing a red bedsheet fashioned into some sort of garment. Bless her though, at least she got to go the Oscars, most overshadowed sisters don't even get to go the pub. Just ask my sister. 

4) Jennifer Aniston

9/10
Jennifer Jennifer Jennifer. She can do no wrong. I don't know much about fashion but I know she looks incredible. How a woman can not change her hair in decades yet still look like she's got a new effortless haircut in every photo is a skill I can only dream of. If I woke up tomorrow looking exactly like Jennifer Aniston then I would never complain about having a spot or running out of dry shampoo again. Plus there's nothing more I love than a famous person clearly being hilarious, and Jen-An clearly is a sassy, hilarious wine drinker. I can sense them from miles away. 

5) Lady Gaga

1/10
Lady Gaga apparently stopped off at the Oscars on the way to do her dishes. Clearly. She's wearing rubber gloves. Red ones. Yes, her Sound of Music performance (YouTube it) was flawless, but she's still wearing massive red gloves. That's all. 

6) Felicity Jones

5/10
I've only included Felicity Jones on this post so I can talk about what a fantastic film Chalet Girl is. And how underrated it is. It's a travesty she hasn't been nominated for her role in that masterpiece. I'm not even joking. She plays a chalet girl turned snowboarder and falls in love and lives happily ever after (spoiler alert). It almost made me want to go skiing. But then I remembered who I actually was and how I'm meant to be on solid ground and not on two planks of wood flying down a slippy hill. Plus I would never cope with stairlifts. Plus I lived my schooldays hating anyone who went skiing as we would have to hear their skiing stories for months on end. Years on end. I'm still told the stories now. Unless you're already my friend, I couldn't knowingly befriend a skier. Never. I adore it when people on Tinder have skiing photos on their profile, because it saves the effort of even bothering to contemplate swiping right. But watch Chalet Girl - you probably won't regret it. 

7) Tegan & Sara

7/10
I couldn't do a fashion list without delving into the shirt-y world of lesbian fashion. If you don't know who Tegan & Sara are then you're missing out. They're twins AND lesbians, it's like I'm looking at myself. Let's focus on Tegan - the suave one in pants. Suave blazer. Suave shirt. Suave pants. Suave shoes. All round suave. If it was me, I'd add a bit of colour, check and bow ties to the mix but I'll let her off. She looks effortlessly cool, as if she always has a text to reply to off a different person but doesn't care if they text back today or in 5 months time. 

8) Meryl Streep

8/10
All hail the Queen. Yes, she looks like she's off to a glamorous business meeting but that's basically exactly what the Oscars is. All hail Meryl. That's all.

9) Eddie Redmayne

10/10
I chose Eddie Redmayne purely for this adorable photo. And any tuxedo that is blue is more than ok with me. I want this tuxedo.

10) David Oyelowo

10/10
This is my favourite look of the entire Oscars night. Simply because it's not a dress, and it's colourful. I feel like it would be better in blue as she clashes with the carpet. If he lay on the floor with his hands and head covered you wouldn't notices him. But that's ok. However I would want it in blue. Although I am bordering on the decision that me wearing a tuxedo in any situation is TOO gay. WWCBD? What Would Clare Balding Do?

Anyway, if you've made it to the bitter end, thank you so much. Let me know what you thought of this new type of blog post in the comments or via one of my new social media pages: Facebook or Twitter
