Oscar-Worthy

Oscar night was full of an appropriate amount of glitz and glamour. In for the fashion, I was not disappointed by the showing on the red carpet. I loved the colors, the details, the lines. So many different takes on feminine touches -- ruffles, peplums, bows, bling. The whole show had a throwback vibe to a time when movies were more than just popcorn and 3-D glasses; the fashion had that same feel. A lot of nods to Hollywood's glamourous history, with a modern touch. I loved so many of the looks! These were my faves on the evening:

Rooney Mara



This Givenchy ballgown was simple, classic, tailored. I loved this shade of lipstick and the retro vibe of the Bettie Page bangs. It was a lovely homage to old Hollywood with a futuristic twist.

Melissa McCarthy



OK, I just think Melissa McCarthy is so adorable. It got a lot of flack, but I really dug the custom Marina Rinaldi Melissa chose. This mauve number is flowy in all the right ways. The hair, the shimmer, the sparkly accents make her look like a goddess. Also, how cute is this photo with her hubby from the red carpet?



Viola Davis



I adore this color! This green Vera Wang with her gorgeous mocha skin is perfect. And the green in her eye makeup is subtle, but stunning.

Michelle Williams



I was fortunate enough to cross paths with Michelle Williams once when my day job was selling tickets to the Art Institute of Chicago. Tiny, graceful and sweet, I feel like her cute little pixie cut could not be better suited to her charm. This Luis Vuitton ensemble marries the sweet lace and vintage peplum with a bold, powerful red. It's a perfect blend of playful and elegant.

Penelope Cruz



This blue Armani ballgown and finger waves screamed Grace Kelly to me. Pretty as a princess.

Emma Stone



On the red carpet, Emma Stone was asked to describe her Giambattista Valli dress. She said, "It's fuschia and there's a bow." This delightful dress really does come down to those two factors. I love how girly it feels without being too frilly.

Maya Rudolph



Wowza, look at the bling on this Johanna Johnson dress! The color is rich, the lines flattering, and the hair a perfect complement. But the sparkling crystal work really makes this whole look red carpet ready.

Tina Fey



The lovely and talented Tina Fey in custom Carolina Herrera. Simple lines, lovely color. This beautiful look is structured and fits Ms. Fey perfectly. I love the feel of the whole look. She was radiant.

George Clooney



What's an Oscar recap without a little George Clooney? His arm candy, Stacy Kiebler, is looking amazing as well, in a Marchesa gold number. Vintage-feel, lovely accent seams. And George Clooney on her arm. Lucky, lucky lady.
