MAR 4 | CPP's glam squad shares their picks for Best and Worst Oscars dresses, hair, and makeup!
We couldn't let the biggest night in Hollywood glamour pass without having our glam squad of hair, fashion, and beauty artists share their best and worst looks of the night! Niki Hall and Robyn Fernandes talk fashion. Eve Whittington dishes on the hair she loved and loathed. And Geeta Khanna breaks down which ladies put their best beauty faces forward, and a few who disappointed.
Niki's Best and Worst Dressed! (@thisisniki)
Niki's top picks from last night are:
1. Camilla Alves. PERFECTION all around! Blush long sleeve gown by Gabriella Cadena.
2. Cate Blanchett. Perfect hair/accessories/fit. The nude Giorgio Armani w/white paillettes proves that extra dose of glamour that we all expect on the Oscars Red Carpet.
3. Kate Hudson. Stunning! The white deep V Versace Dress is hard to pull off but she nailed it!
And the worst looks go to:
1. Kristen Bell. The white lace strapless dress resembled an inexpensive wedding gown. Not exactly the look you should be going for.
2. Kerry Washington. Her purple Jason Wu conjured thoughts of a doobie hair wrap tied together with a hair pin. I know she's pregnant, but it was still too much fabric. I would've liked her belly to be a bit more front and center!
3) Laura Dern. She has a thin frame but the fit on her pink strapless dress was too tight. It gave her fat in unflattering areas, rather than having a slimming effect.
Robyn's Best and Worst Dressed! (@robynvictoriaf)
1. Cate Blanchett. I'm a sucker for a nude illusion gown with intricate beading! Bravo Armani!
2. Lupita Nyong'o. The fact that her name easily rolls off the tongues of the pop culture elite speaks volumes to this young lady's beauty and impactful performance in 12 Years A Slave. She's been the one to beat on the red carpet all throughout awards season and this 'Nairobi Blue' Prada gown is another notch in her belt.
3. Christy Teigen. She dazzles in her floral oddessy Monique L'Huillier gown.
My "come and get your girl/whyyyyy what were you thinking" picks are Julie Delpy, Liza Minnelli, and Anna Kendricks. All of these share one common thing -- they're all inappropriate for each of their body types. The looks are frumpy and don't accentuate the positives.
Eve's Best and Worst Hair! (@evenareya)
1. My 2014 Oscar pick. Viola Davis. The finger wave has been done sooo many times but I think it just gets better with age. Combed out finger waves will always be at the top of my list and this just looks beautiful on her.
2. Olivia Wilde. This look is so pretty and relaxed. Everything about her look was perfect and her hair just topped it off.
3. Jennifer Lawrence. I love this look. The hair pushed back off of her face says she means business, but the fact that it is tousled, says she knows how to party too. Plus, it held up through her fall!
And for the not so good...
1. Sally Hawkins. With all this dress, her hair should have been pulled back off of her face. A slicked back ponytail, high or low, would have made this a crowning look.
2. Clarissa Flockhart. Something a little neater and not so wide on the sides would have made her look like a beautiful, sophisticated woman and not so matronly.
Geeta's Best and Worst Beauty Looks! (@misskhanna)
1. Khloe Kardashian. I adore this whole look and she was surprisingly my favorite face. It's a modern twist on a vampy, old hollywood glamour. Using a deeper shade in the same family of her dress was brilliant because it really enhanced the texture of the velvet material.
2. Lupita Nyong'o. Her skin is Incredible and the artist really showcased it by keeping her face looking luminous and flawless. Also, the soft orange hue on her lips complimented her rich skin tone and the powder blue dress.
3. Diane Krueger. Her look was very romantic with her soft pink lips, dewy cheeks and fluttery lashes.
Not so favorites... (on bottom)
1. Ann Hathaway. She has these beautiful brown eyes with flecks of green. I'd love to see her with a smokey eggplant shade to really enhance her eye color and give her a younger more interesting look.
2. Jessica Biel. Gorgeous girl but with the minimal makeup paired with a cream colored dress it was too bland. She has beautiful lips and with the softness of her entire look, a bold lip like a rich, burnt orange or a deep purple/red would have made her more glam and less monochromatic.
3. Amy Adams. I would have loved to see her with a lot of lash, (like Angelina Jolie) because then her makeup could 've remained soft. She needed something to add more depth to her face because of her light skin tone and pulled back hair. It would have given her a more flirty face.
