Country & Western Wardrobes

Sometimes I like to start off my day with a little Dolly Parton & Porter Wagoner duet.

These two have some pretty outrageous sartorial sensibilities, as is evidenced by their 1960s and 70s Western wear...and of course, I love it!

Check out Porter's Amazing Cactus Suit in this video:

In "Joshua" Porter is wearing the same suit, but some pretty damn amazing white cowboy boots...LOVE.

And, since we're really focusing on Porter here, let's check out this goodie...

OH, yeah...GREEN Cactus suit!

Beautiful voices, even more amazing fashions...

A Man of Many Hats

As the season finale of Project Runway All-Stars quickly approaches, we must pay homage to the ever-fashionable and simply delightful Austin Scarlett.


Scarlett (NOT Starlet!) exhibits a keen fashion sense, donning printed scarves, slim silhouettes and most importantly, FANTASTIC hats!


Here are some particularly jaunty examples:

OLE!

Bad ass. 

Possibly channeling a Civil War soldier in the attire?

Bowler + Button-down shirt = major fashion moment.

All he needs is a baguette and a Vespa.

Nothin' but a G thing.

Colonel Sanders Bow tie, sweet hat and skinny suspenders= Full-on awesome.

Hats ON you, Austin!

Top 3 Oscar Gowns (and Honorable Mentions)

The Most Ravishing Dress Awards Go To:

(in no particular order)

Penelope Cruz in periwinkle blue Giorgio Armani.

Michelle Williams in coral Louis Vuitton. (I wasn't impressed by this at first because the color on my t.v. screen was off...Then I saw the true color online and was wowed).

 

Emma Stone in fuchsia Giambattista Valli. 

Honorable Mentions

(These Ladies Also Looked Incredible):

I really liked the Armani Prive dress worn that Ellie Kemper wore. I thought the colors looked amazing with her skin and hair.

I don't so much love the color of Octavia Spencer's Tadashi Shoji gown, but I think the cut is absolutely flawless on her. She could not have picked a more becoming shape for her body. Octavia's acceptance speech for best supporting actress was the only one of the entire program that moved me to tears.

I love these colors on Jessica Chastain. However, I think this McQueen creation would have jumped to the top of my list had the bottom of it been fitted. I would have preferred to see it in a mermaid-style or even a sleek and simple column shape sans the train. For me, this would have balanced out the amazing embellishment and detail.


What do you guys think about these gowns? Were there others that you loved/hated? Feel free to comment and let us know your thoughts. :o)
