Fierce then the New Classic: Twirl Around

(like the Classic Scrolldown)

In a way I think this could be "Best" but I'm torn. In my last post I compared Zoe's violet ruffles to beautiful flowers, but from the back they seem to be growing out of hand. And then the bottom of the train ... has ... 3 giant fuzzy fingers?

Zoe Saldana's gown has even made it to our final "worst" poll at the end of the article...

Worst Supporting of An Actress

[caption id="attachment_2336" align="alignnone" width="290" caption="Charlize Theron in Dior Couture"][/caption] It's delightful, it's delovely, it's ... delicious, firm, supple and round? Oh I mean "they're". Well the dress thinks so! It's grown little fabric handlike things that are grabbing on. Well, ok, not exactly supple-looking, as the fabric is a bit tiered and, to me, is reminiscent of Madonna's cone bra. Others think the fabric semi-rosettes do look like hands...

Least Age-Appropriate Supporting of an Actress

[caption id="attachment_2334" align="alignnone" width="285" caption="Miley Cyrus in Jenny Packham"][/caption] [caption id="attachment_2335" align="alignnone" width="450" caption="Ha ha! Just kidding. Kind of."][/caption] Never mind that Miley Cyrus generally looks 45 going on Collette Reardon. (The Dishrag agrees.) This dress's bodice is far too lingerie-inspired (like it could be a teddy) for Miley's still-illegal age. Also the random transitioning is not fab. So that added allows her to be in the poll.

Least Super Woman

[caption id="attachment_2338" align="alignnone" width="285" caption="Molly Ringwald"][/caption] Molly Ringwald looks like a ginger Cleopatra or a super heroine of the tech age, who started spelling her email address with jewelry then remembered the "Coco rule" and removed everything but an "M" (for Molly) and the "@" symbol. You may vote for Molly below.

Worst Designing for an Awards Show

[caption id="attachment_2341" align="alignnone" width="290" caption="Barbra Streisand in Randolph Duke"][/caption] We hear Randolph Duke custom made this especially for Barbra Streisand on this Oscars night, and we also hear that lace scarf was added by Babs from her own closet. So where's the designing? Where's the custom, exactly? At least we can't blame him for how wide open the star wore the jacket. We're glad when people wear blazers that fit when buttoned, but when the woman's waist isn't supermodel tiny, she shouldn't wear the coat that open. Even though she's not a typical red carpet diva, we're including the legendary Barbra in our poll.

Dishonorable Mention We Must Mention

We won't penalize her too much here, but sleeved dresses are so 1980s!

Most In Need of a Fashion Lesson

[caption id="attachment_2342" align="alignnone" width="290" caption="Chris Innis, who won for best editing for The Hurt Locker"][/caption] Forget 1980s, gloves, my poor innocent soul, are so The Young Victorian age! Or at least, with a gown. Otherwise they can be fabulous. I understand the confusion. We won't let people vote on you, that would be hurtful. And now it's voting time! Here are the final nominees.
