OSCARS! Woot.

Okay, so my Oscar night fashion predictions were about half-right, but if the Fall '06 collections were anything to go by, they were going to be pretty unpredictable anyway. So, the turquoise Versace number did appear on Salma Hayek:



Of course, after I saw that I realised that THAT orange Hermès number was not going to make an appearance, but then Michelle Williams turns up in a yellow Vera Wang. I'll have to say it requires a certain amount of courage to wear derivatives of the colour red on a red carpet - it is virtually impossible to go unnoticed. But that's the whole point, isn't it?

I should have predicted Dior couture instead, although considering BOTH houses had a very strong Spring haute couture showing, it could have been anyone's race. Should have realised that after the Golden Globes fiasco, Reese Witherspoon would probably not wear Chanel for a while....

My second prediction that did happen - Marchesa DID make an appearance on Karolina Kurkova (who I mistakedly indentified as Heidi "you're either innggg, or you're ouwwwt" Klum) :



....but there was no Doo.Ri in sight. :(

Anyway, all in all. It was truly a night for the women. Michael Kors did not have a strong showing, (Jennifer Garner did look great.) but Donatella and Vera must be feeling pretty good about themselves now.
