Another Oscars show, and we were watching for some over 40+ Fashion Inspiration. Too bad we didn’t find much. Here’s rundown of what we saw on the red carpet.
Annette BeningYour gorgeous energy makes you shine, not your sparkly sailor dress.
Sandra Bullock
A stunning dress, but we thought the stiffness of it + the waxy white make-up and tight hair made her look rather strained, and as stressed as she probably has been feeling this year with all the craziness that has been going on in her life. Still, she’s a beauty.
Halle BerryShe’s always said she would never marry again, but this bride like dress makes us think she may now want to tie the knot. Very pretty dress but was it too frou frou for sexy Halle? Your thoughts?
A woman of steel… steel gray that is. We loved this fabulous feminine gown in this strong modern metallic..Bold, and beautiful from Vivienne Westwood. What a figure!!
Helena Bonham Carter Are you surprised?
Marissa Tomei The critics loved this. Maybe it looked better in person?…This 1950′s navy, satin and tulle ballgown should have stayed in Grandma’s attic….yes, or no?
Nicole Kidman Sorry, this dress looked like a fancy folded dinner napkin! Too stiff and pale for Nic. You can’t get it right all the time!
To hear What the Glam Gals have to say about Oscar dresses, listen here:
Last nights Golden Globe Awards was an eye-popping evening of one jaw dropping dress after another! We Glam Gals are SO glad that Hollywood has kept the Glam up. Here are our reviews of what went mostly right, with only few blips on the red carpet!
The main theme seemed to be to wear a neutral gown, off white, cream, or beige, which, in fact, can be a bit dreary on most women over 40. But on an up note, the strapless look seemed to finally moving on to necklines that are a bit more interesting.
Here are a few of the Age-mazing and over 40 celebrities that showed up:
Demi Moore looked stunning in her beige gown with rocker studded criss cross straps. That she can wear vertical lines like that and still look trim is a miracle. We would heed most to beware and , “don’t try this at home.” Also, notice the double cuff bracelets. This is a very ‘hip’ trend, that we like, but again, needs to be worn with just earrings.
Meryl Streep in the past has disappointed, however last night she was spot on, looking elegant and better than ever. According to www.wowowow.com, this classy black number, was a last minute purchase at Saks! Notice, the subtle jewelry. Just earrings, light make up and a coordinating sheer shawl. PERFECTION!!!
Sandra Bullock sure looked gorgeous, in her peachy cream frock, that had just the right combination of femininity and sophistication! We think she takes the cake for the best dressed!
Marisa Tomei really went out on a limb with this dress. Although it does show her sense of creative style, we feel it was a little too much of a casual, pirate look for an evening as elegant as this one! (Don’t you think her hair would have looked better down with her outfit too?)
However, Kristin Scott Thomas looks absolutely alluring, and age appropriate with her taupe gown and black accessories. The dress is still sexy, even though it has a high neck. Her back-swept sleek hair matches perfectly with the simple and classic lines of the dress. The pin draws your eye up to her lovely smile! You see her, not the outfit!
