Oh, it was quite a big mess of a red carpet, in my opinion. It’s like everybody was trying too hard. Which is ironic as there had been talk that celebrities would try to tone down the glamour this year, yet still retain some form of glitzy escapist dream for the rest of us worldly viewers.

What I saw was a carpet of confusion. Too many fashion features all fighting each other for attention. For what was supposed to be the crème-de-la-crème of red carpet events, the Oscars red carpet totally flopped.

We saw so many fabulous dresses in the haute couture collections of the best designers in the world last month, yet very few celebrities even went there – except for hard core fashionistas like Sarah Jessica Parker, of course. Her dress is one that I have nothing bad to say about.

Kudos as well to Penelope Cruz, who went for a vintage Balmain. She has totally reflected the current fashion buyers’ tastes, I believe, with that choice of outfit. Vintage couture. What a genius.
