The battleground for the Oscars red carpet is empty and fashion bloggers (including myself) have burnt out on writing about
Kate Winslet€™s YSL gown,
Penelope Cruz€™s vintage
Balmain dress (I am still getting over the fact that it is 60 years old), all the one-shouldered wonders (please reference
Marisa Tomei€™s pleated
Versace wonder) and the unfortunate incident with
Jessica Biel€™s Prada dress. Even though we did enjoy these gowns as well as
Sarah Jessica Parker€™s Wonder Woman-meets-fairy princess
Dior Haute Couture gown, I still can€™t help but give props to the men. Any guy looks good in a tux €“ but when it€™s a leading man of Hollywood, we have to make a big deal about it.
Brad Pitt and
Daniel Craig donned
Tom Ford while the evening€™s host
Hugh Jackman (who made the Oscars worth watching again) wore
Burberry. But it was
Mickey Rourke who sartorially stood out from his peers. Dressed in a white
Jean Paul Gaultier suit that matched his edgy personality (with no tie, mind you) and accessorized with a necklace of his late chihuahua, Loki, he made the red carpet fashion interesting for all the guys out there.
