There is no doubt about it. The annual Academy Award red carpet is the most watched fashion event across the globe. While it is one of my craziest nights… I am typing like a mad man preparing best and worst dressed lists to get up promptly… it is also one of my favourite nights. I just love watching the red carpet… seeing which actresses will wear the most glamorous designer gown… seeing which actress will earn the title of "best dressed".

Every year I watch and select my best dressed and worst dressed ladies for Sympatico… so who made the best dressed list this year at the 82nd annual Academy Awards?



Jennifer Lopez looked incredibly glamorous in a stunning pale pink Giorgio Armani Prive gown with Swarovski crystals; Best Actress winner Sandra Bullock looked absolutely stunning in a floor-length metallic and lace Marchesa gown; The incredible Penelope Cruz looked outstanding in a deep burgundy satin dress by Donna Karan; One of my all time fave red carpet celebs Demi Moore looked incredible in her pale and dramatic Versace gown; Anna Kendrick looked absolutely glamorous in a off the shoulder Elie Saab couture gown; Amanda Seyfried looked like a princess in this icy strapless Armani Prive creation; Vera Farmiga wore one of the most dramatic in a fabulous fuchsia ruffled gown by Marchesa; Last year’s Best Actress winner, Kate Winslet looked elegant and sophisticated walking the red carpet in a metallic Atelier Yves Saint Laurent gown; Kristen Stewart looked absolutely gorgeous in a navy silk organza Monique Lhuillier gown; Cameron Diaz was simply dazzlilng in a champagne Oscar de la Renta strapless gown.

Now... who made the worst dressed list at the 82nd annual Academy Awards?



Fashionable favourite Sarah Jessica Parker walked the Oscar red carpet in a confusing pale yellow Chanel haute couture gown and a frizzy bouffant do; Avatar actress and red carpet fashionista Zoe Saldana wore a questionable over-the-top Givenchy haute-couture tie-died gown; Charlize Theron wore a strapless Christian Dior dress with croissant style rosettes on the breasts; Diane Kruger wore an awkward and frilly Little Boo Peep Chanel gown; Carey Mulligan dissed Anna Wintour’s advice and opted for a black Prada gown with embellished charms of knives, forks and scissors; Deborah Ann Woll underwhelmed in a dull and drab lilac gown; Winning Director Kathryn Bigelow wore a tired Mother of the Bride gown; The eccentric Maggie Gyllenhaal wore an interesting Dries van Noten gown with a summery print; Little Miley Cyrus wore a plunging Jenny Packham dress that she just couldn’t fill.

And that’s the wrap on the red carpet for another Oscar year. Hard to believe! What did you think about this year’s Oscars? More importantly what did you think of this year's Oscar red carpet?
