Only a week after the event itself, I got a chance to see the dresses worn to the oscars. I did contemplating watching them live but with it being a sunday evening with the Oscar's not happening until 3am, I thought best to give it a miss.
Equally as stunning as the Bafta's the U.S didn't disappoint. Metallics were big this year as seen by Oscar winner Meryl Streep and George Clooney's lady friend Stacey Keibler.
Red made a reappearance as it does every year in one form or another but the stand out gowns for me were the all in white on the night. Gwyneth Paltrow's sleek, caped Tom Ford number and Rooney Mara (Girl with a Dragon Tattoo) in a couture sheer lace Givenchy dress stood out from the crowd on the red carpet (which is no mean feat in a sea of famous faces).
There was one dress or should I say leg that almost overshadowed the event and that was the exposed limb of Angelina Jolie.
After the infamous appearance, a twitter account called @Angiesrightleg, gained thousands of followers (the account currently has 47,613 followers and follows Bradley Coopers Moustache @CoopersMustache and @JLosNipple). The twitter account and bloggers around the world took to their computers and photoshopped said leg onto various celebrities and photographs, even the Queen got a leggy makeover, (click here for pictures gone photoshop, leg crazy).
It seems even without a nomination, Angie can still steal the show. Maybe she felt threatened by Miss Piggy, who wore a show stopping gown to the Bafta's and felt the need to step up her game? But to be fair I would feel inferior too. Without disappointment, Miss Piggy rocked up to the Oscar's wearing a dress by Zac Posen, jewellery from Fred Leighton and shoes by Christian Louboutin.
Ah it's a hard life being a pig.
