Worst Looking Gals on Oscars’ Night
Surprisingly, I thought that every actress looked at least semi-decent. No one attempted to look like an exotic bird or appeared to have wandered off a tropical zoo. I have never understood the fascination with really fancy (and ugly) “look at me” gowns. Call me boring but elegant and understated is always the way to go and it’s nice to see that most of the ladies went that way on Sunday. I initially typed up a Best and Worst Dressed but almost ended up trashing the worst section because, well… who cares right? Anyways, here is the worst section:
Worst Dressed:
Let’s take a look at the worst dressed first for a change: See a pattern here? Fancy usually results in looking like a clown, a bird or a combination of the two. I love Vera Farmiga as an actress but she did not look her best in that crazy “look at me” dress. She looked like she was devoured by a massive violet plant. Every year, someone fucks up and this year, it’s Charlize Theron. What the hell is on your cleavage? Seriously, are those cinnamon rolls??? Very tasteless. Sarah Jessica Parker in an unflattering dress. I never understood all the fascination with her to start off but she is not aging well, that’s all I will say. Will someone let Diane Kruger get a burger?? She looked so much better dressed in Inglourious Basterds than on the red carpet! Finally, Kristen Stewart! No, nothing wrong with her (really dark) dress, she actually looks pretty but she needs to lighten up. I have yet to ever see her have an unforced smile or laugh. Why so constipated? Jennifer Lopez is also worth mentioning as she looks like she made her dress from some insulation foam panels she found laying around her house.
Check back later for the Best Looking Gals on Oscars’ Night. Now that one is fun! In the meanwhile, what are your thoughts? Who was the worst looking actress on the red carpet?

Hard to beat Vera Farmiga wearing a venus flytrap.
James Cameron’s wife should be on this list. Not that her dress was particularly bad but I don’t think she has eaten anything in the last few years. Someone get her a cookie! Quick!!!
Where is J-Lo? Didn’t anyone else notice that she was wearing bubble wrap? Everyone was raving about her dress but honestly, I could have made that out of some cling film, string and bubble wrap.
You are right about Kristen…she was so nervous the entire time. And her little cough on stage wasn’t the only indicator…I do like her dress though.
@ Aiden: True!
@ Vanessa: About James Cameron’s wife, yes but let’s face it, she wasn’t a star of the show anyway and few people paid attention. I did mention J-Lo at the end of the paragraph. I totally agree that her dress was horrendous and looked very “plastic”. I still don’t understand why some people call her one of the best looking on the red carpet! I guess I will go find a pic for you
Stewart is both on my Best and Worst list.
Ok here’s my theory: While getting dressed for the event Vera Farmiga was attacked by a giant flower from another world. Using her amazing strength she defeated the flower, but her dress was ruined. So, instead of running out to by a new dress, she just wore the demon flow. What do you think?
Oh, and as for Charlize Theron I’m thinking a similar story, except two smaller ones, and they were likely the perverted cousins of the former.
Ahahah. Vera’s dress was not ruined, she choose to wear the vanquished violet plant’s cadaver as a war trophy. As for Charlize Theron, she was craving for cinnabon rolls, so she hand painted two and hid them in plain sight where no one would look.
Oh, Castor, I see you almost totally agree with HOLLYWOOD SPY when it comes to freaks of the evening
Yes Dez! You did have a keen eye and pointed out the worst looking ladies of the night but I diverged a bit on the Best Looking Section. It’s won’t be out for a day or two though. There is a massive post logjam going on right now
but be sure to put Elizabeth Banks among the best dressed ladies, otherwise I might have to continue hacking your website and creating you those post log jam problems
She is in there. She was absolutely gorgeous (as always), 2nd fave of the day.
As I said before simplicity is a double edged sword. Too simple and you’re boring, not simple enough you’re polarizing.
I love, love, love SJP and Diane and for me they are exquisitely simple and runway worthy. It’s complicated hahaha, did you enjoy “The September Issue”?
I haven’t seen it yet but was thinking about getting it. Maybe I will understand your choices then lol
J-Lo and SJP looked so statuesque. I loved both their dresses, though SJP’s hair went all bedhead when presenting.
Charlize and Helen Kruger were definitely the worst dressed.
What a fun post! Charlize definitely takes the cake with her ‘WTF on your chest’ dress. Cinnamon rolls, that’s it, that’s the word I was looking for. I wasn’t going to comment about what everyone’s wearing but I just had to single her out on my Oscar post. Y’know, I saw Amanda Seyfried wore a very similar gown as J-Lo (with with a slightly different neckline), but it looks much classier on her. Vera Farmiga looks like she belongs in Pandora, she kinda reminds me of the plant that Jake Sully touches and then disappears (just before the big Na’vi rhino came chargin’ after him).
Even though Kristen Stewart’s dress was perfectly fine, she somehow managed to make it look super cheap. The posture… the makeup…? Not sure what made her look kind of like a stripper.
And I’d just like to say that I don’t think anyone can rock some pasted together giant Reese’s peanut butter cup wrappers like Vera Farmiga did!
@ Ruth: Glad you agree with my assessments!
@ Luke: Yea, I thought she looked fine. She just needs to chill and stop making that face like someone puked in her oatmeal!
Why thanks
I agree with Vanessa, Cameron’s wife looked horrible. Cameron needs to use some of his Avatar money to buy that woman some food.
@ Vanessa:
@ Red Beard: Welcome to AM and thank you for dropping by. I always appreciate new visitors commenting on my blog after I did the same thing
I will never understand why some women starve themselves to such unrecognizable shape, it’s not attractive… like at all!!
