Oscars Red Carpet 2012——Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Oscar Party

Oh, and we keep forgetting to plug remind you, kittens: we’ll be on Sirius XM Radio’s “Derek & Romaine” show at 8 (on Sirius XM OutQ 108) eastern tonight  to discuss the Oscars fashions. We’re running on caffeine and hope at this point, so be sure to call in (866-305-6887), and hear us babble in response to your no-doubt thoughtful questions.

Paz Vega in Stephane Rolland Couture

Betcha she was brushing crumbs out of that thing all night and had to fight the drunks off from using it as an ashtray.

Sarah Hyland in Collette Dinnigan

 Too mature on someone so young.

Rose McGowan in Paule Ka

Bless her, she always serves it up, old school style. The dress is only so-so, but she’s working it like it’s haute couture.

Malin Akerman in Sportmax

If it didn’t have the weird cleavage guard, we’d like this a lot more.

Mena Suvari in Romona Keveza

 Chicken Lady.

Natasha Henstridge

 Conehead.

Neal Patrick Harris and David Burtka

 Cute.

Nina Dobrev in J. Mendel

LOVE. Especially the cutouts at the shoulder. Hair’s a bit of a disappointment.

Anika Noni Rose

Y’know, it’s funny? The last couple of times we saw her on the red carpet, we said, “We just can’t give a ruling on this look until we know whether or not she’s wearing panties.”
That’s not a gown; it’s pasties and a bush cover with delusions of grandeur.

Anna Paquin in Emilio Pucci and Stephen Moyer

He’s still sporting the Lady Miss Clairol look, we see.  Love the dress, but they both look as warm and appealing as a couple of mannequins. Wouldn’t want to be seated at their table.

Chris Colfer

 Standard, mostly well done, needs hemming.

Colton Haynes

Also standard and well done. Oddly, the pants look a little full on him, but that could be the pose.

Gwen Stefani in Zuhair Murad Couture

LOVE IT. Not so much on the Mamie Van Doren hair, though.

Heidi Klum in Atelier Versace

“I’M SINGLE AGAIN, WORLD!”

Katy Perry in Blumarine

Hunh. It’s a really pretty dress; elegant, even. But it’s so toned down for her that we’re a little shocked. Don’t love the things on her shoulders, though.

Kelly Osbourne in Georges Hobeika Couture

Peep.
Darlings, it was the GAYEST party that ever gay-partied! Which means “taste” was NOT a consideration! Let’s all form opinions on the outrageous tackiness on display, shall we?

Vote Now!
IN! Oh, sweetie! We KNEW you could do it!
OUT! You’re crazy! That’s too much dress for her!


But if there’s one thing the Bitter Kittens like to do, it’s to call us crazy, so we’re turning the final say over to y’all.

Voting on Michelle William’s lampshade and Rooney Mara’s corpse bride dress is still open and waiting for opinions to be loudly expressed, darlings.
We’ve been really hard on Jessica throughout awards season. We have a reason for that. It’s because she’s normally very, very bad at dressing herself.




But we gay-gasped at the sight of her last night. Admittedly, we do think the dress might be wearing her, but it’s so much better than the ill-fitting getups in colors that don’t suit her. In fact, we’re thinking a black-and-gold combo might just be the best for her coloring. She should consider making this her thing. The black works well against her skin and the gold picks up on her hair color. And for once, we have no issues with the hair and makeup. No, girl did alright for herself here. It’s not perfect, but it’s as close to it as she’s ever gotten. We say IN.
