Oscar Fashions: Elaine’s First Impressions

The following ladies looked beautiful in their outfits:

• Penelope Cruz in her red gown
• Helen Mirren in her sheer, lilac gown
• Cameron Diaz in her gold, sparkly gown
• Jenna Hurt in her cream and black overlay gown
• Elizabeth Banks in her soft, grey-blue gown
• Tina Fey in her black, one-shoulder sequined gown
• Monique in her bright blue gown

Outfits that were beautiful, but I did not think were flattering to the wearer:

• Sandra Bullock in her pale, gold gown: Her lipstick and hair overpowered the outfit.
• Jennifer Lopez in her pale, lilac gown: Her natural coloring overpowered the dress.
• Sarah Jessica Parker in her yellow Chanel gown: The dress was too straight and boxy for her body, and the color did not flatter her skin tone
