There was so much red at the Oscars last night and of course some of the dresses were better executed than others. We’ve already talked about Ariana DeBose and Tracee Ellis Ross’s boob cup looks. I think Marlee Matlin had my favorite red gown, although Rosie Perez was a close second. I’ll get to her shortly in another post!
Marlee was in this incredibly elegant Monique Lhuillier gown. It’s formfitting and simple and yet it’s not boring. The single detail, the gathered split waist, is just perfect. I’ve been accused of having basic fashion taste, which is fair, but I think I’m right to say this is stunning.
CODA of course won Best Picture last night, which was sadly overshadowed by Will Smith being a rage monster. It also won Best Adapted Screenplay for writer/director Sian Heder. She was wearing a sequin Michael Kors gown which she compared to a disco ball. I’ve seen versions of that on J.Lo and Naomi Campbell and she looks fabulous in it.
Emilia Jones was in Dolce & Gabbana. She’s a lovely young woman and both Kaiser and I wanted her to be nominated for Best Actress for CODA. She deserved something better than this snooze of a beige sequin cutout gown. She wore an incredible gown at the BAFTAs, and she should have saved that for the Oscars instead.
Amy Forsyth was in Marchesa. I feel bad for actresses who wear Marchesa, although this isn’t bad considering. This is like a paint by numbers dress.

Marlee looks fantastic and it seems like she enjoyed every second of the awards season. Emilia Jones deserved a nomination. And loved all the love for the fishing families of Gloucester.
Marlee definitely wore one of the last nights best looks. That dress is flawless on her! Hair is on point. And she just radiates light.
I like the dress but found the look ruined by the cheap-looking blue beads. I though, like so many women last night, Marlee’s look was * this close * to being amazing but was instead messed up by a detail that turned it into a nope for me.
Marlee’s look is perfection.
I like the fabric of Emilia’s, but not the style because of the cut out.
Amy’s is pretty in a safe, princessy way, and Sian’s is pretty in a more modern way.
That Michael Kors dress looks a lot like what Tom Ford was doing a few years ago. I actually thought it was TF until I saw the description.
She looks absolutely gorgeous
