Why are there TWO dresses at this party with thigh details? By which I mean, the thigh IS the detail:

That might have been so pretty if it weren’t suffering continental drift.

Elton John Oscar Party Fug or Fab: Vanessa Hudgens in Philosophy

Oh, Hudge.

She is so cute, but that thing looks like an infomercial wherein they throw all manner of things at a ball gown and are about to prove it can wipe clean with a sponge.

This is for all you Carrie Diaries fans out there:

Vanity Fair Oscar Party Fug Carpet: Rashida Jones in Valentino

Her head looks as good as it ever has, but the rest of it is too strong for her.

I wish it were a better-fitted minidress, or something. This is a pretty youthful print being turned into a dated-looking dress. I feel like she’s about to invite us all to a lemonade social where we can watch the moon landing, and the thing is, I actually might go, but I will not eat her ambrosia salad. I just won’t.

Oscars Fug/Fab Face-Off: Meryl Streep vs Amanda Peet

I think Meryl may take this one.

She looked classy, lovely, and like she had a blast. I think that might be because she knew there was no chance she’d win. I had been trying to explain her performance in August: Osage County to Jessica, but the clips stood for themselves; she actually shrieked with laughter. The thing is, I don’t blame Meryl. The movie itself is so airless that I think Meryl was trying desperately to fill what turned out to be a vacuum. It was a fruitless exercise. But if they’d RECOGNIZED that and advertised it as a comedy of accents and bellowing, then maybe it would’ve done better. Still, Meryl herself will emerge unscathed, and rightly, and I still think she’d be a gas at a cocktail lounge.

Here is Amanda Peet, who actually acquitted herself better than usual:

Vanity Fair Oscar Party Well Played: Diane von Furstenberg in Wet Seal (Just Kidding, I Suspect It’s DVF)

The puzzle theme here made me unaccountably happy.

I just love a jigsaw — this kind, not the kind people use to build things, or torture people in horrible movies, although one of those is probably fun too as long as it’s not being used unkindly. Be pleasant with your hardware, people.
