This Is Not an Oscar Fashion Post

Don't look here for deep thoughts about Oscar fashion last night. Evening dresses just aren’t really that interesting from a critical point of view. Whereas couture and even ready-to-wear can offer allusions to history, art, or politics, or just a glimpse into a the fanciful landscape of a designer's mind, evening dresses are generally just pretty dresses. With most people playing it safe, Oscar fashion criticism has devolved into pointless nit-picking about Zoe Saldana’s homecoming-float-like ruffles or Charlize Theron's rosette headlights. Without someone like Tilda Swinton to spice things up, there's just not a lot to talk about.

But OK, I have a few nits of my own to pick:

Lots of silver and gray, most noticeably in big winner Kathryn Bigelow’s sleek gown.

I really liked the concept of Meryl Streep’s white gown, but the proportions or the fit made her look stiff and ungainly.

Red was another trend, with Penelope Cruz, Clooney innamorata Elisabetta Canalis, and Michelle Pfeiffer going the bold route.

And note to Miley Cyrus: if you’re going to wear a strapless dress, you’d better learn to stand up straight, young lady.

When Miley Cyrus opens her mouth, somewhere a fairy dies, so it doesn't surprise me that she doesn't know how to carry herself in formal wear.

Best outfit of the evening was worn by Sandy Powell who won for [big surprise] costume design. She made everyone else their look like your parents.

Miley Cyrus is an awesome actress no doubt and the outfit is much interesting to wear. Ladies catch the idea and make your own same clothing :D.
