Red Carpet Glamour Is Only
a Day Away…
Hollywood Oscar Fashion Review 2007
To some this year, the Oscars may be
wrapped up as one night only, but its dream girls fashion reach is pandemic.
As part of the festivities in the run-up to this year's Oscar telecast, Vogue
editor-at-large André Leon Talley, who will also be the voice of fashion
for the red carpet arrivals segment “Road to the Oscars,” curated "A Celebration
of Oscar Fashion" retrospective of the best and most elegant gowns worn by
nominees, winners and presenters at the Academy Awards over the red carpet
loving years.
How fun is it to see original photos of the stars wearing the gorgeous gowns and
then a model today walking the catwalk in the same dress? Although the great
style of these dazzling gowns endures, it’s the star power of the original
wearer that makes them spectacular.
While we’re ogling the stunning Oscar fashion retrospective and thinking of what
were the great Oscar fashion moments for us, there is some speculation as to
what some of the stars will be wearing for tomorrow’s Academy Awards.
According to TheEnvelope.com, Best Actress Oscar frontrunner Helen Mirren
will wear a gown designed by Christian LaCroix. Oscar presenter Reese
Witherspoon will wear a purple Nina Ricci gown, on the word of her
contract with the house— this way there will be no fashion faux pas surprises of
her wearing a vintage dress that had previously worn by Kirsten Dunst.
Best Actress Oscar nominee Penelope Cruz is reportedly, but as yet
unconfirmed, going to wear Dior. No news on color or cut.
The color we do know about is the backstage greenroom at the 79th Annual Academy
Awards. It will not be green, but instead will be Pantone Paints 19-0912, a
chocolate brown chosen by the interior designer team Matthew White and
Frank Webb of White Webb. Stay tuned.
--February 24, 2007
The Oscars® will be televised live
by the ABC Television Network on February 25, 2007, at 5 p.m. PST (8 p.m. EST),
beginning with a half-hour red carpet arrivals segment, "The Road to the
Oscars."
