Oscars Best Dressed 2018 - Jennifer Garner in Atelier Versace

Oscars Best Dressed 2018

March 5, 2018

“Any actress who appears in public without being well-groomed is digging her own grave.”
― Joan Crawford

I’ll always love the red carpet, even if I’m living in shift dresses and leggings.  While I wasn’t surprised at my love for Lupita, Jennifer (Garner and Lawrence!), and Zendaya’s outfits, I was pleasantly taken with Allison Janney as well as Williams and Jane Fonda.  Let’s also take note of Rita Moreno’s gown which was custom made for her in Manila and first worn when she accepted the Oscar 52 years ago. Now that’s vintage done right!  Personally, I liked how she accessorized it the first time.

I adored a variety of looks from golden or metallic A-line silhouettes to simple white column dresses.  But I think I’ll always remember Allison Janney’s sleeves from this year! Also, let’s all look to Jane Fonda for inspiration – put down the cupcake and take a walk around the block already right?  Zendaya also proved that one can be both elegant and effortlessly cool. What were your favorite outfits?

Jennifer Garner’s outfit particularly caught my eye because of the bold color and lovely asymmetrical silhouette.

Here’s a similar look at a fraction of the price (gotta love BCBGMaxAzria!)

    My favorite is Helen Mirren’s dark periwinkle dress -effortlessly gorgeous! Lupita’s dress is also charming. I didn’t watch this year. Thanks for letting me catch up! 😉

    Knowing the story behind Rita Moreno’s dress made me like it. That definitely is vintage done right. My best dressed of the night was Gina Rodriguez.

    They all look absolutely classy! Jane Fonda seriously rocked that outfit!

    It’ was nice to see a varity of different looks on the red carpet. Mrgot Robbie was one of my faves.. And even though, Emma Stone was woefully misinformed with her peak white feminism,, her LV pantsuit was super chic.
