Happy Friday, lovelies! What do you all have on tap this weekend? Mine? Well it's basically going to be a lazy one. Lots of sleeping, pampering & lounging while counting down to the grand finale, The Academy Awards, on Sunday night.
I can't wait for them this year! And it's for reasons other than style stalking, although I will definitely be tuning in for that as well. We made a pact with some friends to see every film up for Best Picture and we actually did it! I just squeezed in the last one, Winter's Bone, last night. Overall I think my favorite is The King's Speech but I did also love The Fighter. It's a close second in my mind.
How bout you guys? Did you catch all the Best Picture nominees? What was your favorite? Are you going to be tuning into the Oscars on Sunday night?
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend! xoxo

Diane Kruger in Chanel Couture
Sandra Bullock in Marchese
Sandra won all around last night in this metallic & lace Marchese gown. And I loved her hair and makeup.
Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab Haute Couture
She took a chance in this romatic print dress and in my book she was a clear winner. The swirling blue, pink and green print was mesmerizing. And I loved her rose-cut diamond pendant earrings.
Anna Kendrick in Elie Saab Couture
She was simply stunning in this soft pink off-the shoulder draped gown.
Honorable Mentions
Queen Latifah in Badgley Mischka
She keeps getting better and better doesn't she? I thought she looked ravishing in this one shoulder, bead-embellished lavender satin mermaid gown.
SJP in Chanel Couture
I know this one has gotten mixed reviews too but I loved it. Reminded me of a photo of my grandmother at a wedding in the 60s. Loved the whole thing, the gown, the hair & the makeup.
Cameron Diaz in Oscar de la Renta
I'm not usually a big fan, but I thought she looked pretty good in this glittering champagne tulle gown.
Miley Cyrus in Jenny Packham
She looked pretty in this strapless champagne hand-beaded gown.
Penelope Cruz in Donna Karan
Loved the color (it was one of my wedding colors :)) and she always looks gorgeous.
Jennifer Lopez in Armani Prive
Interesting cut...the crescent-shaped bustier cascaded into a dramatic side train. And I liked the iridescent pink color.
Amanda Seyfried in Armani Prive
I love the dress but sort of wish she choose a different color. I've been back and forth on this one since I watched the arrivals last night....
Kate Winslet in Yves Saint Laurent
She's gorgeous and looked great but I kinda wish she took more of a chance.
Meryl Streep in Chris March
She looked amazing! And I love how she went with this Project Runway alumn.
Kristen Stewart in Monique Lhuillier.
She looked good but played it safe with the staple goth color.
I thought she rocked this sexy beaded black leopard print, one-shoulder gown.
Simply adorable! I love how she went for this whimsical Prada gown embellished with Swarovski crystal flowers as well as tiny forks, knives, scissors and other charms.
One of my early favorites, she rocked her signature vintage look in Reem Acra's multi-colored sequined gown.
The Losers
I loved many aspects about this...I love how she took the risk, I love the sparkling bodice but the purple ombre sculptured tulle skirt was too much.
Vera Farmiga in Marchesa
I sort of liked this at first glance. She was a standout on the red carpet...I loved the color but as I watched her sit in the front row I thought the ruffled fuchsia gown was a bit much. I also didn't like her choice of red lipstick color with the gown.
Maggie Gyllenhaal in Dries Van Noten
Again, I liked that she took a rish in the color and print but I didn't think it was special enough. I could see someone wearing this to a summer wedding....
Charlize Theron in Christian Dior.
Seriously? Those cinnamon bun boobs? No. Color was gorgeous...love the two-tone lilac but it could have been a winner if not for the baked goods on top.
So what did you guys think? Who were your winners and loosers?
