Oscar 2021 Fashion

I didn't watch the Oscars on Sunday night because I only watched 1 new movie in 2020 {Wonder Woman 84} and didn't even know what was nominated. Allison, we have got to get our acts together and get back on track in 2021! BUT I did check out Oscar fashion and have some thoughts!

First, I feel like the ladies overall looked lovely! And the men! There were so many exciting looks for the guys - lots of fun colors and different takes on the traditional tuxedo, it was a lot of fun looking at the guys!

Let's start with some ladies!

Andra Day
This is just okay for me. It fits her great, but for the Oscars I think you EITHER do the side cut-out or the super high slit. It was just a little much for me.

Angela Bassett
She looks amazing, and I loved that the poofy sleeves actually tied in a bow on the back. The simple jewelry made the sleeves/bow really standout.

H.E.R.
I love the concept of what this should be, but it's too much fabric.
I love the sparkly fabric, it's so beautiful, I just wish there was less!

Halle Berry
I'm sorry but I don't love this. I can't really tell you why either, it's just ok.
I really don't like her hair either. Eek.

Laura Dern
I don't have high expectations for her, and this was fine.

Margot Robbie
I just have 1 word to say: Damn!

Olivia Coleman
She usually looks pretty bad, so I'm going to call this one a win!
I love her shoes so much.

Reese Witherspoon
This looks really similar to other dresses we've seen in years past.
I think she looks great but nothing new.

Viola Davis
I've gone back and forth on this look. It isn't my favorite look, but it looks great on her. I love her hair and jewelry and va-va-va-voom! I also look that it is structured on top {but so flirty with the cut-outs} and then so flowy on bottom.

For the first time, let's get excited for some fun fashion for the men!

Brad Pitt
He can make everything look great. He's wearing a very basic look, 
but he looks anything but basic. {grin}

Colman Domingo
Holy smokes this is amazing. Now is this what I would have wanted Brent to wear to our wedding? Of course not. But this is just posh and glamorous and so fun.
Tons of Swarovski crystals, a perfect fit and great shoes. Loved it!

Daniel Kaluuya
I like this too. You can tell the suit is so nice, and I like the diamond necklace to dress it up. A smile wouldn't have hurt though!

Lil Rel Howery
I almost love this. The jacket is gorgeous, I love how the shirt/tie/lapels/pants match. My only complaint is I wish the pants weren't so wide at the bottom and I don't love that the shoes also match. But overall so nice.

Questlove
I mean seriously, you have to give props to someone who decides they want to wear gold crocs to the Oscars. Ha!

Best Dressed

Amanda Seyfried
She looks like a movie STAR. And she has 2 kids - one of whom she had in September. Y'all know how I feel about inner boob and hers is perfect AND SHE HAS TWO CHILDREN. What kind of magic is that???

Regina King
I love this dress - the sleeves that look like butterfly wings, the color, the fit, the beading, the simple jewelry, the scalloped edges. She looks gorgeous!

Zendaya
I went back and forth on this one and finally decided I loved it.
This much skin wouldn't look great on everyone {take note, JLo}, but on her petite frame and the color - it's beautiful. I also love the statement necklace.

Leslie Odom, Jr.
This man can do no wrong in my book. He looks fabulous and this is a show-stopper.

Riz Ahmed
I have no words, please just wipe up my drool.

Worst Dressed

Chloe Zhao
While I am THRILLED by her Oscar win, I cannot get onboard with this outfit.

Glenn Close
This is just too heavy. Then add the pants and gloves. Too much.

Vanessa Kirby
I didn't recognize Princess Margaret at first - this is SO severe.
She is too skinny, the color of the dress fades into her skin, and then throw in that super dark lip - I just don't think any of this works.

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher
Isla looks great, but I can't with Sacha. Nope, nope, nope.

Lankeith Stanfield
This is a super fun outfit and fits great - it just doesn't seem like an Oscars outfit.

What do you think? Did you watch any of the show? Who were your favorites?

I Spy Week 16

After seeing Natasha participate in this for a few weeks I decided to give it a try! I think the prompts are really fun, or maybe it's just that Natasha has a unique perspective on each one?? Either way, I'm giving it a go! Join in here with Lysha's prompts.

{Kitchen Sink}

Unfortunately the 'before' is how our sink looks more often than I want!

But the 'after' sure is nice, isn't it?

{Flower}

This is one of my favorite flowers in our yard.
I can't ever remember its name - something with garlic in it.
It's deer resistant which is why we planted it.
Deer run rampant in our neighborhood and eat EVERYTHING.
We thought they died in the freeze {and they stunk SO bad}, 
but I was so happy to see them bloom a few weeks ago!

{Up}

Bubble fun with Paige!
This is before she spilled half the bottle on the patio. Sigh.

{Mixed}

Which color do you think we picked for our new doors?
And you can see how our pocket door is crooked because it came off the track!

{Your Choice}

We left sackie at church and had 1 very sad little girl until we got her back.
