And the Oscar goes to...


And the Academy Award goes to.... I don't know about y'all, but I'm a big fan of awards season for several different reasons! First, I enjoy the list of movies I get to compile and watch because I know they're the big contenders! And now that Jo Claire lives in Arkansas, I don't see nearly as many as I use to see! Secondly, I love reading the tabloids to get the "real story" behind who's real and who's not! But most importantly, I LOVE seeing what everyone will wear!! This is one of the few times I have some serious envy at the jewelry, gift bags, and life of luxury the pretty people of Hollywood lead! So, after all the excitment of the Oscars, we at FSB have aquired our top 5 Best Dressed:
Honorable Mention- Best Hair
Reese Witherspoon's hair was the epitome of Old Hollywood Glam!! It was literally my favorite of the evening because it was so well put together yet still youthful and fun!
Honorable Mention- Rocking the Baby Bump
 
Jenna Dewan-Tatum. Now, I would imagine picking a dress for an occasion where 1 billion people are watching is very difficult, but I can only imagine how hard is must being finding a dress while pregnant! Mrs. Tatum was litterally glowing, and she looked stunning in her black lace dress! Plus, her arm candy wasn't too shabby either! 8)
Honorable Mention- Aging Gracefully
 
Sally Field looked fantastic and so age appropriate! I can only hope to age as well as she has! The bold choice in color and shape flattered her figure and allowed her to shine in the dress! It was a great choice with enough details to give it that Hollywood glam appeal!
5. Naomi Watts
This gun metal sparkle dress was so unique! I loved this dress because the bodice made such a statement! Many of the women played it safe, but Naomi took a risk! And thankfully, it paid off making her look classic with an edgy feel at the same time!
4. Jessica Chastain
With this choice, she clearly understood how to best flatter her body and coloring. The shape of the dress is beautiful, and it helps accentuate the curves she has, while giving her curves where she needs a little help! But the gold and beaded sparkle details litterally made her glow as she made her way up and down the red carpet! All of that combined with her beautiful red hair screamed vintage Hollywood, and I'm thankful her entire vision came together!
3. Salma Hayek
Now, I'll be honest- at first glance, I was not fond of this look because I thought it aged her tremendously. However, after a longer perusal I realized how classic and beautiful she looked! It was so simple and striking, yet daring all at the same time! Not many women can wear that neckline with such severe hair, but she clearly can! She looked absolutely fantastic and took a classicly shaped dressed but brought it to the 21st century with such a modern statement neckline! It was a hit and will definitely stand the test of Oscar Fashion Time!
2. Amy Adams
Now, this is where it got really tricky for me... I debated and switched back and forth between number 1 and 2 because they were both so fabulous! Amy comes in at the number 2 spot because the detail and color of this dress was so fantastic! I adored how feminine the dress appeared with the feathery skirt and pale blue color! It was simply stunning!! No one looked like her, which is why she was such a standout!
And the Oscar for Best Dressed goes to....
1. Jennifer Garner
WOW! What else can you say? She wore one of the boldest colors on the red carpet, and the pay off was tremendous! She stood out among the many safe choices made by several celebrities! The dress was a classic shape, but it had enough to detail that it made you do a double take! And her statment necklace was breathtaking! It was a very bold choice because it could have aged her having it so close to her face, but it did anything but!The necklace made the outfit a complete and total success! And ultimately for me, she looked like one of the happiest people we saw at the Oscars all evening, which is way more important!!
Well, it's back to reality for us and the stars, but hopefully you were able to take some ideas for little things to be applied to your own lives- hair, jewelry, dress, nails, etc... Let us know what you think about everyone's attire! And we hope to see you at the store soon!
