2019 Oscar Fashion Recap
Where do I begin? I was on the fence about covering this year’s Oscar red carpet fashion review because quite frankly, it’s been disappointing to see what the stars are wearing. These people have stylist and still can’t seem to “WOW” us. Remember the days of beautiful ball gowns? Now it’s all just MEH. There were actually some dresses I had no idea what to do with. See if you agree.
BEST Dressed List
STUNNING! Notice how it’s a lot of dress but it’s not wearing her. Perfectly accessorized too!
I love this streamlined black dress on her. And that necklace – WOW!
Every one of these women knows their body and what shape/color dress works for them. Bravo!
_____
Could you be more boring? | MEH
Come on – You are Captain Marvel! Although, I would kill for that body!
BLAH… Blah, Blah.
_____
Did you look in the mirror before you left your house?
Honestly, this was my largest list of all. But I contained myself and I am only posting these four. For so many reasons, they just don’t work. Wrong color, ill-fitting, wrong shape… you name it, they did it.

The “I don’t know where to put you” List
Please leave a comment and help me decide where these go. Best, Meh or Worst dressed list. I honestly can’t decide.
Dress aside, can we talk about that amazing performance with Bradley Cooper? Please get married and have lots of babies together. And how about that Tiffany & Co. yellow diamond that Audrey Hepburn wore 58 years ago?
I love this color dress but I can’t get past the drastic hair change. Thoughts?
When I asked my followers if they liked this dress on Instagram Stories the response was 50/50. I’m not even sure she had her hair done. Also, does she have on flat sandals? She took effortless to a whole new level…

Love your review!! As for Gaga, my opinion Worst list!
Agree! Second worst Charlize Theron.
I completely agree with you Charleon’s dress is stunning but whose in the dress. She completely missed with the hair. Is she in witness protection, Lol
I personal thing that Gaga is on the Best Dressed list. Her entire look from top to bottom is classic and chic. What’s throwing you I think is that it is very refined for her.
All of the dresses were meh this year. Julia Robert’s dress wasn’t bad, however I haven’t seen enough pictures of her to fully commit to that. Charlize looked awful in my opinion, her hair really aged her. When I first saw her on my television I thought she was Bebe Neuwirth. If it were Bebe she would have looked great. I expect so much more from Charlize, she shouldn’t look like she’s in her fifties.
Julia needs to go back to being a brunette. That golden blonde washed her out. I miss seeing her in more elegant looks like her Oscar winning vintage Valentino. The dress looked imo casual for oscars.
Poor Charlize the only good thing was the necklace! She needs to be blonde and show skin while she’s young. Imagine her in a simple black deep v skinny strap dress blonde hair and that necklace!
Not that many “wow” dresses. I did think that Julia Roberts looked gorgeous – I really liked her dress!
Great review!!! Not impressed with Lady Gaga’s over all look – her face seemed washed out (I think she is a very pretty person – but something about her eye makeup…). Dress…hmmm….what’s up with the hand rests at the hips???
Charlize Theron…the whole look aged her.
I agree Charlize looked matronly like 50. Best thing on Gaga’s outfit was that fabulous diamond. Should have changed her hair color and dress did nothing for her figure
I know I’m in the minority, but I actually liked Lady Gaga’s black Alexander McQueen dress. I think she stayed true to her aesthetic/brand with the sculptural padded hips and lengthy train (designed by Sarah Burton). The dress looked beautiful on stage with Bradley Cooper. And can we talk about the Tiffany Diamond on her neck?! Wow…
I think it’s safe to say the overall trend on the red carpet was metallics & pinks. Nothing too shocking. And nothing extremely memorable…
Gaga’s dress was off. It should have been more in line with elegant like that awesome diamond. Very disappointes in dress but she needs to marry Cooper. No mistaking the way they looked at each other!
The pink explosion was not a dress but a bunch of fabric which did nothing for her but make everyone think about the last time they were quesy.
Charlize…agree, aged with the daek hair. Making me think about my own!!
Thank you for doing this. Always a pleasure to wake up to your thought!
Just imagine if Gaga wore a yellow dress like Constance Wu’s dress with that yellow diamond. Stunning! Also the bottom of her dress looked dusty and dirty while posing on red carpet. Fire the stylist for that.
It is all subjective, but as others have said, I think Julia Roberts looked amazing. The fit was right, the color was right…it really worked for her. Regina King was also stunning. Sadly, I agree the worst dressed list is MUCH longer than the best dressed this year. What was Sarah Paulson wearing?! Such a disappointment since she typically brings it. Ditto for Charlize Theron. Rachel Weisz….oh my. Latex cape? 8-year old hair-do? Really, Rachel?? For such a beautiful woman, her look was an epic fail. I did not have a problem with Lady Gaga’s Alexander McQueen dress. Personally, I would never opt to pad my hips, but who else and where else can something like that work? What bothered me most about Gaga was her over-baked, orange tan. I could go on and on, but it’s your blog Tanya, so I’ll stop here. Thanks for the sale reminder!
And GOOD LORD, what was that thing Kasey Misgrave was in?
“Did you look in the mirror before you left your house?” ♀️
I really admire Glenn Close, but I wasn’t a fan of her dress. The color wasn’t fabulous on her and I wasn’t in love with her accessories.
Not many with a Wow factor…Lovely review, Tanya!
I didn’t mind Gaga’s dress (and the diamond was a sweet touch — ha), but disliked the orange tan. I thought Regina King looked great and I loved the color and style of Helen Mirron. Helen almost always comes through with a good looking dress with sleeves! Also, I thought Ashley Graham looked fabulous in her black dress during the pre-show, but there was a lighting issue that made it look dirty. Marina de Tavira in the red gown was gorgeous too.
One of my favorite days of the year and love reading your report, Tanya
I love your reviews of the fashion and really thought Lady Gaga looked pretty but I agree, not sure why the waist line jetted out like that, unnecessary! She and Bradley Cooper were amazing! She has certainly come along way since wearing raw meat !
Lady Gaga-liked everything about her outfit. She is not a boring person and that dress had just the right touch of “quirkiness” with those hip things.
Charlize- I actually don’t mind the hair color ut the lip color looks harsh with it; I think the dress color should have changed to stand up to the hair better. FYI-she’s in pre-pro for a film based on a comic series written by Greg Rucka who is repped by our very own David Hale Smith! Exciting! Her hair color may be for that role.
I’m loving my O-venture Key Ring! Thank you Tanya!
And I know what you mean about Lady Gaga. I think she was too spray tanned and her dress almost could have been great except for the waist area. I actually think Charlize Theron looked beautiful. I loved her dress, the color and style of it. I also thought Julia Roberts looked pretty in the pink dress.
Loved the hard work that went into today’s blog! Never going to be ugly about fashion but I agree …sometimes I am not real sure where to put some choices !!!
Lady Gaga would have been a “WoW” without the hip huggers but that diamond was gorgeous and she wore it well. I think my favorite was Regina King in her simple elegant white dress (and of course bringing her Mama). I also liked Helen Mirren’s dress, very classy. I don’t think Lady Gaga had a terrible tan, I think it was the lighting because Bradley Cooper was the same yellow color. However, their duet was marvelous. Your tastes are right on and I agree with all of them. Thanks for the double work on letting us know about the ShopBop sale. A good time to get some basics. Oh – no one mentioned Jennifer Lopez who really gets it. She has it down – beautiful as always.
Great Collection! I really loved Marie Kondo’s dress, I thought she looked great!
Amy Adams dress was spectacular! Her dress was molded to her body and it looked fantastic on her. Allison Janney is gorgeous. She is looking even better as she ages. I was really disappointed with the oversized puffy tulle gowns. Gemma Chan’s dress was a lovely color but unflattering silhouette. I do love the pockets on her dress where she hid her cookies. I feel the same way nothing really wowed me at the Oscars this year. What do you think of the about the velvet tuxedos on the men?
The gal that wore the pink parachute is going to regret that when she was young and stick thin she didn’t show that off at the Oscars. Poor choice when you’re that stunning.
Some people just don’t have fashion sense oh gosh…
