The Oscars: Best dressed & worst dressed
·
Beauty and image consultant Francois Louw gives us the low down on his best and worst dressed celebrities at the Academy Awards.
Olga Kurylenko
Olga was simply just striking and sustainable in this deep dusky pink gown. I especially loved the rouging on the dress. It was the winning design from this year’s Red Carpet Green Dress competition by Berlin student Alice Elia.
Kate Hudson
Speaking of old Hollywood glamour, Kate Hudson brought that and more in her beaded Versace dress, with a deep v-neckline which is signature of one of my favorite designers together with the cape detail. Oscar glamour at its best!
Cate Blanchett
She just always has to be on this list, doesn't she? This must be one of my favorite looks of red carpet season from Cate with this nude cap sleeved Armani Prive gown with flared tulle skirt did bring a little old Hollywood sophistication to the night, especially with the waved hair and stunning drop earrings.

Jenifer Lawrence
Red hot style. Jennifer provided the perfect scarlet sign-off to this year’s red carpet in a fitted strapless red Dior gown with peplum detail and another backwards necklace. And obviously not wanting to break with tradition, she also took an early tumble on her way up the carpet.

Lupita Nyong’o
Not only a newcomer in the film industry but also a newcomer as a fashion icon. Lupita has definitely won red carpet season and signed off with a beautiful plunging Nairobi inspired powder blue Prada gown, complete with a simple crystal hair band. My absolute favorite!!

Shocking!. I honestly thought Pharrell could do no wrong with his fashion choices but shorts to the Oscars was one of the worst ideas ever! Some can’t decide whether it’s sublime or ridiculous but I thought it was disrespectful to say the least. Wearing shorts to an event like this is similar to wearing a tie with a short sleeve shirt.
Charlize Theron
Charlize definitely lost out to Jennifer in the Dior wars. The shape of this garment is amazing but those thick ‘invisible’ straps holding it up really spoiled the whole look. Without those straps this would have definitely been one of my winners!
