Oscars Fashion

Thank you for joining and welcome to my first official non-Instagram post of everyone’s favorite Instagram Stories segment: my Red Carpet Commentary. For years I’ve been recapping Oscar and other red carpet fashion much to the delight of my Insta-peeps. While I do love writing the critique, my favorite part is connecting with all of you and getting to know you more with every red carpet that passes. My ego also enjoys the positive feedback and self esteem boost, so please don’t be shy.

This little note, is also my foray into a newsletter as well as one of many changes that will be happening here at The Curated Look in the not so distant future. Apologies if the website is wonkier that Salma Hayek. It’s all happening.

So let’s try this out and see if it moves you here in a more permanent home as it does in Stories. We will figure it out soon enough.

Best always,

Gaby

Best Dressed Dad! I’m rooting for this guy to win and he did!

And the bride wore Skims. She always picks things that are almost good or good on paper, but misses the mark every time. On the plus side makeup and hair is impeccable.

YES to glamour. And YES to her earrings. Clutch is divine and the red lip so perfect. Bravo to her stylist. Every detail accounted for. Extra done right!

This lewk brought to you by ozempic, and I can’t even fault her. Never looked better; although she can still look skinny without all the funny boning. Weird turn for Vera Wang. Too much makeup.

Ok I’ve seen lots of these weird capes. No thanks! Plus cutout. Plus fishnet. Thank God it’s black para disimular. And the prom hair terrible. Beautiful makeup.

Giddy up! I do love this color combo. The gown is exquisitely constructed and fabric sublime. Finally starting to see what was good in the 90s revisited. I could skip the horsetail or trim it.

Another cape/train. Mermaidcore at its best or worse. It’s up for grabs. She looks stunning tho. I always wonder about the people who put together these outfits and I’m puzzled.

We know she would bring in the noise and bring in the wtfunk. If polarizing and idgaf had a baby it would be Flo P. This dress needs lots of editing btw. Neeeext!

Grace Kelly is that you? She’s killing it lately and red is stunning on her. Edgy and over the top with a little Dallas on the side. Me like. Wish we would get rid of the stripper heel once and for all. Burn them all.

I used to have this BCBG dress. I bought it on sale.

She deserves a closeup bc her team did right by her and bc hello collar bones. With an actual diamond collier. Don’t hate this serpenti necklace, but I maintain that it’s the love bracelet of the red carpet.

Yea we get it, you want to be subtle about being the new Little Mermaid. Give the people what they want.

She always looks disheveled, so this is a fab upgrade. Some person’s C+ is another’s A-.

Would have been best dressed at the Independent Spirit Awards. Looks off the rack.

Brides everywhere are like bitch stole my look! She’s def sending someone a message. Who approved this?

I was wondering where all the Versace was. Wanna love but can’t. Looks dated on her. Intergalactic planetary.

Malala as a super hero. I love this very much!

I’m not a pimp. I’m a classy pimp.

Bless your cotton candy heart. I don’t think this thing would have been pretty on anyone bc it’s ugly, but why drown her in pepto-bismol.

Vavooooom. This is beautiful Oscar lewk. Hits all the marks… Drama, Jewelry, Elegance, all the things! Could loose the tail

Serpenti strikes again. These people must be making bank wearing it bc I can’t believe anyone would just agree to be so unoriginal.

Emily gets it right in white. Simply chic.

She does look ravishing tho. They could have a worked the neckline a little more bc this isn’t flattering on her boobs but A-, bag in black not my fav.

She’s got better moves than this, but I can see she feels amazing and I hope she wins. Team bride.

If you can’t hold up your arms comfortably it’s a total miss. Ladies be comfortable.

Teenage me is dying.

All this money and she’s a travesty. She’s waiting to be typecast as a telenovela remake of something. Must say at least she’s not in a frothy buduoir concoction this time and this is somehow an improvement.

Caption Von Trapp vibes. Edelweiss… Best Dressed Zaddy.

Best she’s looked this season, but not best she’s looked… which is saying a lot bc she is prob one of the most stylish women alive. That being said I would wear the poop out of this dress.

She knows she’s got more style than many. I don’t even mind the ratty hair/wig bc it somehow works. Confidence is her best accessory. Sublime dress get in my closet!

As a rule, Halloween colors are always a NO. Silhouette also contrived and uncomfortable.

She’s embracing looking like her mom. Own it sista! Just lean into the Goldie goodness like it’s the last thing you got (prob is tbh) WWGD.

This is Lady Gaga and I’m more scared of what’s happened to her face than how bad the buckling boning on her dress is. Bucal Fat Removal or OZEMPIC?

Glinda the Good Witch has a beautiful necklace.

I do not support this bridal trend unless of course, you are a bride.

She’s leaning into old Hallie but in a bad way. Derivative. Beyoncé is like bitch stole my House of Dereon rejects.
Lost member of Destiny’s Child!

Beauuuuutiful hair and necklace.

Two bad outfits don’t make a good one! And as I’ve said before: there is always SOMEONE doing dumb and dumber.

She’s a gorgeous woman in an expense dress and the only thing I can see is….Marge Simpson

She’s trying to give Jan Fonda a run for her money and succeeding. Best dressed mom on the filthy beige carpet. She’s a winner!
