I think maybe my favorite of last night’s Oscars was Zoe Saldana, in Givenchy Haute Couture. This may sound corny, but how I really know I L.O.V.E. a dress is, of course, if I’m immediately dying to have it, wear it, put it on my body…
But if I also get a sort of visceral kid with a Barbie doll reaction of just wanting to touch the dress, play around with those descending layers of tight purple ruffles. I cannot accurately explain. If you feel me, if you feel me.
And of course, Zoe’s hair and makeup were flawless. Her simple updo was perfection. I love how it’s not slicked back but instead allows for a little natural texture to show through, so gorgeous. And look at the way this sparkly light pink bodice highlights her face–it’s like she has her own lighting all night. Pretty brilliant, actually! Zoe is a star, a knockout. Everyone else can just go home. 😉
Yes to everything you just said. Hell yes.
chris: glad you agree! 🙂
