Award show season is the absolute best isn't it? It was like the best of the 40s and the 8os collided into an incredible gown convention! After seeing all the lovelies, the one thing that makes me so excited is the return of the mermaid! I could not be happier as I have been a mermaid gown lover since I could dress my barbie in all her 80s gowns like she was Miss America.
We can thank Marion Cotillard, the stunningly beautiful French actress, who wore an enchanting fishscale fishtail dress to accept the Oscar for Best Actress at the 2008 awards. With a Lady Dior handbag campaign on the pages of every fashion magazine, Ms. Cotillard is the essence of french beauty. I'm not surprised to see other women channeling her easy grace. (Sidenote: speaking of Lady Dior and comebacks for that matter, have you noticed how B's handbag is now a lady dior on Gossip Girl? She's been carrying one for the past two episodes. They do seem to be making a comeback)
In other news: Blondes are officially back. Along with the return to the fishtail is the return of the the sexy blonde bombshells. Yes, blondes are back! Leading the pack was resident flower child Drew Barrymore who in recent years has been more of a caramel brunette. Kate Winslet another off and on brunette also turned up the platinum.
And in the same vein of va-va-voom sex appeal and retro-styles, who knew thigh high slits were coming back? It would seem that certain screen sirens channeled Jessica Rabbit as their red carpet inspiration. I have to say, the mix of a floor length gown and a flash of leg is a sexy one. I think this is a red carpet trend that won't just be a flash... hahaha I crack myself up.
You of course can come to your own conclusions and check out all the pretty girls and boys (if you already haven't)
